Fort Worth is one of the best cities in the country if you want fast internet speeds. Residents have access to a bunch of great ISPs across the city. In fact, Fort Worth has the 14th fastest speeds in the US, according to Ookla's latest data. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) And in 2022, the city introduced free Wi-Fi to 40,000 residents in historically underserved neighborhoods to make up for the gap in internet access.
If you've ever been on Fort Worth Reddit, you'll have seen that a common complaint from residents is that apartment complexes often have exclusive deals with one (less than ideal) internet provider. Thankfully, that's begun to change recently, thanks to 5G home internet providers like T-Mobile and Verizon reaching the city, which cover pretty much the entire city.
