Best Internet Providers in Abilene, TX

The best internet providers in Abilene are Optimum, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, and AT&T Internet. Optimum is the best internet provider in Abilene because it offers download speeds up to 940 Mbps on a cable network. It also offers budget-friendly plans starting at $40 per month.

While not as widely accessible as Optimum, AT&T Internet is the next-best internet provider in Abilene because it operates on an IPBB connection and is second in availability for a wired connection. While its download speeds only reach up to 25 Mbps, AT&T has consistently ranked first in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power, earning itself a solid reputation as an internet provider.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is the best wireless internet option in the area. Though it doesn’t offer symmetrical internet speeds that can match Optimum by Altice, the wireless network makes up for it with high availability and an impressive customer service rating.

Fastest Internet Providers in Abilene, TX

The fastest internet provider in Abilene is Optimum by Altice. By operating on a cable connection, Optimum by Altice offers download speeds up to 940 Mbps. It uses a coaxial cable to send electrical signals – the same ones used on analog TVs – and while it’s a fast-moving technology, it doesn’t reach fiber levels fast.

Vexus Fiber is a relatively new option that’s quickly expanding across the country, offering up to gigabit speeds in Abilene. Vexus Fiber is not as widely available as Optimum by Altice, but as one of the few fiber internet options, it’s worth considering. Fiber’s symmetrical upload speeds and reliability are hard to pass up.

AT&T only offers download speeds up to 25 Mbps, yet it’s a solid choice thanks to the IPBB connection that operates via already-installed copper telephone lines.
