The best internet provider in Austin, Texas, is AT&T Fiber. Fiber internet is the best and most reliable option for internet, and AT&T Fiber is AT&T’s brand name for its fiber connection. With advertised speeds between 300 Mbps and 5 Gbps and great customer satisfaction, AT&T Fiber is Austin’s top-shelf choice. For standalone internet plans, they range from $55 to $245 per month. AT&T also doesn’t require contracts on any of its fiber plans, making it a top choice in the city.

In areas that don’t have access to AT&T’s fiber internet plans, Austin residents should look for one of the city’s other fiber internet providers. Google Fiber’s top speed of 8 Gbps is more than a typical family would ever need, making it a real competitor to AT&T Fiber. Its internet-only plans start at $70 per month and it offers bundles that include Google Fiber Phone, its home phone service. Like AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber doesn’t require contracts, so you don’t have to worry about early termination fees.

Astound Broadband Powered by Grande also offers fiber internet in some areas, with speeds topping out at 1.5 Gbps. However, availability is much more limited, so we recommend AT&T Fiber or Google Fiber for more accessibility.

If fiber internet options don’t serve your area, your next-best option is Spectrum® Internet. Spectrum uses a cable connection to deliver download speeds between 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps. It’s a very strong fallback option for people who don’t have — or don’t want to pay for — fiber internet in their area. Spectrum also offers cable television, making it a solid option for residents who want to bundle their internet and TV. Its bundles start at $30 per month while standalone internet plans range between $50 and $70 per month.

Beyond Spectrum, AT&T Fiber and Astound Broadband in Austin, we recommend looking into T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. Not only does it offer speeds between 133 Mbps and 415 Mbps, but its prices start at just $60 per month. Featuring a quick setup process and no monthly fees, it’s one of our favorite options when it comes to wireless internet providers.

ISPs usually offer new customers deals and promotions to help them save money on their internet plan. For example, AT&T offers deals for anyone who signs up for one of its fiber internet plans. These change frequently, but currently, some deals include a $100 Visa Reward Card with the promo code “EXTRA100” (applicable with any fiber plan). Then there’s T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, which is giving a $300 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard to all new subscribers who sign up for select plans. Be sure to check back to see the latest deals and how you can save money on your internet plan.
