Often considered the cultural hub of Texas, Austin is one of the most exciting cities in the nation. Playing host to such events like South by Southwest, Austin City Limits, and the Texas Craft Brewers Festival, it's a city that has a little bit of something for everyone. It stands to reason then that this can be reflected in the city's options when it comes to internet providers.
Fixed wireless, cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite providers are all in the area with ten different companies operating within the city's limits. Google Fiber, Suddenlink, Spectrum, RCN, AT&T, Viasat, HughesNet, Rise Broadband, Ranch Wireless, and SOS Communications are all in the area and all have something different to offer their consumers.
One of the most unique options in the area is Google Fiber. Having launched in 2010, Google Fiber is exactly what it sounds like; fiber internet! Austin was one of the lucky few cities that the company decided to roll out in with coverage in areas like Lake Travis, Del Valle, and Eanes. They're not the only company that offers fiber in the area though.
Both RCN and AT&T have fiber available in the area with AT&T having the largest fiber coverage area in the city with about a third of Austin having the option of AT&T fiber. Leander, Pflugerville, and Round Rock all have AT&T available to its residents.
Even if fiber isn't available for you though, that doesn't mean you're going to be stuck with a slow connection. Spectrum covers almost the entirety of the city with its cable lines, offering hyper-fast speeds to its customers while maintaining a reliable connection. Streaming, gaming, and social media are all well within the grasp of Spectrum users with them offering comparable speeds to the fastest of fiber connections.
HughesNet and Viasat, both satellite internet providers, are also available in the area and are particularly great options when cable or fiber options just aren't available. All that's required is a clear line of sight to the southern sky and you're ready to jump online!
Austin shows no signs of slowing down and neither does its internet providers. There's no doubt that options will continue to grow making finding the right company for you a foregone conclusion.
