Starlink speeds have doubled in the past two years, according to a new report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Median download speeds from the satellite internet provider have steadily ticked up over the past few years, going from 53.95 megabits per second in 2022 to 104.71Mbps today. That’s an impressive feat considering Starlink added about 5 million customers over the same period and recently passed the 6 million mar

What is the best internet provider in Houston? AT&T Fiber is CNET's pick for the best internet service provider in Houston. It's our top recommendation because it offers symmetrical download and upload speeds along with high customer satisfaction scores. Plans range from $55 to $245 for the impressive 5-gig option. Since AT&T Fiber coverage doesn't extend to all Houston neighborhoods, Xfinity and Verizon 5G Home Internet are also solid alternatives to consider if you're outside of AT&T's servic
