What is the best internet provider in Austin?
CNET ranks Spectrum as the best internet service provider in Austin for its wide coverage, no data caps and no contracts. That said, Spectrum isn't available everywhere. If you fall outside Spectrum's coverage area, T-Mobile Home Internet and Google Fiber are two strong alternatives.
For budget-conscious households, Astound Broadband offers a standout deal with its 300Mbps plan for just $30 a month, with no contracts or equipment fees. And if speed is your top priority, Google Fiber’s blazing 8,000Mbps plan is available for $150 per month.
Whether you’re streaming by the pool, gaming through the heat, or working from a cool indoor setup, Austin has an internet plan to match your summer routine.
