Internet Service Providers in
Houston, TX

The Houston Texans might break your heart on the gridiron, but Xfinity internet certainly does not at home. You can rely on Xfinity to deliver fast internet speeds, ranging from 75Mbps to 800Mbps. You can get even faster internet speeds if you live in an area with Xfinity fiber internet. No worries if you can’t get fiber internet–800Mbps will be plenty for most folks.

If you’re already paying for TV and a cell phone plan, definitely consider bundling everything under the Xfinity umbrella. You save $20 a month for every Xfinity service you add to your plan.

Best Xfinity internet plan for most people: Xfinity Fast, 400Mbps for $55/mo.

Most people in Houston get the most value out of the Xfinity Fast plan. You get enough internet speed to support a household of three to four people without hurting your wallet.

AT&T fiber internet isn’t as widely available as Xfinity’s cable internet, but if you can get it, it’s well worth it. One of the fastest ISPs in the country, AT&T starts its fiber internet speeds at 300Mbps, and the sky’s the limit from there. Most Houstonians don’t need multi-gigabit internet speeds, but it’s nice having the option, right?

One of the nice things about fiber internet is that you get symmetrical internet speeds. When your upload speeds are just as fast as your download speeds, you can stream Netflix and have a FaceTime conversation at the same time—and maybe host a livestream while you’re at it—without straining your internet.

AT&T fiber internet isn’t as expensive as you’d think, only costing $80 a month for gigabit speeds. You can also get a discounted rate on your internet plan with AT&T if you sign up for an AT&T cell phone plan as well. You save $20 a month compared to what you would pay for each of those AT&T services individually.

If you can’t get AT&T fiber internet in your corner of Houston, there’s a chance you can get an even better experience with Astound Broadband. Astound offers one heck of a deal for first-year pricing, only charging $60 a month for 1,500Mbps. The regular monthly rate is $172 a month, so you’re getting a massive discount.

And the best part? Since Astound doesn’t require any contracts, you can just bail out before the price hike and switch providers if you’re not having an awesome experience or just want to save a few bucks. But it might be worth sticking around with Astound because it regularly offers promotions and discounts for current customers.

One downside with Astound is that you need to pay for equipment costs. But you can avoid that fee if you bring your own modem and router.
