Internet Availability in Arlington, TX

Arlington residents have a couple of solid options for wired internet providers, but the best choice depends on where they live. Two providers in the city offer high-speed internet: AT&T Fiber and Spectrum.

AT&T Fiber covers 52.2% of the city. Its coverage zones are scattered throughout town, with a noticeable absence near the city center. If you live along West Park Row Drive — starting at the Shady Valley Country Club in the west and stretching all the way to State Highway 360 in the east — you’re likely covered by AT&T Fiber. North of the city center barely has AT&T Fiber coverage, but it’s available if you keep going past East North Street.

For more widespread availability, Spectrum reaches 95.8% of Arlington. It covers more areas around the city center, specifically south of East Abram Street. Some portions of the city, however, don’t fall under Spectrum territory, including the University of Texas at Arlington. It’s still a much more accessible internet provider than AT&T Fiber, though, since most neighborhoods fall within its coverage zones.
