Spectrum Internet: Fast, dependable cable
Spectrum Internet pros and cons
About 99% of people living in Dallas have access to Spectrum’s cable internet network, which luckily for us, is a pretty good thing. Spectrum offers some of the fastest cable speeds in the city for a reasonable price. You can choose data plans between 300Mbps and 1,000Mbps with Spectrum, but keep an eye out for the price hike after a year of service. Thankfully Spectrum doesn’t lock you into any contracts, so you can ditch out before your bill goes up.
Even with the price hike, it’ll be worth sticking around for some folks due to the bundle discounts with Spectrum’s cell phone and live TV service. You’re probably already paying for a cell phone plan and TV service anyways—might as well keep it under the same umbrella and save a few bucks. Plus Spectrum’s TV service gets all the local sports channels, so you don’t miss out on any Cowboys games.
Best Spectrum internet plan for most people: Spectrum Internet Ultra, 500Mbps for $69.99/mo.
We recommend the 500Mbps plan for the average household of three to four people, but you could go for a cheaper plan if you’re living solo or with a partner in an apartment downtown.
AT&T Internet: Best fiber internet
AT&T Internet pros and cons
Not as many households in Dallas get fiber internet compared to cable internet, but for those who do get AT&T’s fiber service, we say go for it. With fiber internet, you get symmetrical download and upload speeds ranging from 1,000Mbps to a whopping 5,000Mbps—not that you need multi-gig speeds for most things. You get unlimited data and don’t have to pay for equipment costs, making AT&T a solid deal.
AT&T fiber internet is surprisingly affordable on its own, costing $80 a month for gigabit speeds. But you can save some money by bundling your cell phone plan and TV service. You save about $20 a month by keeping everything under the AT&T umbrella.
Best AT&T internet plan for most people: AT&T Internet 1000, 1,000Mbps for $80/mo.
Gigabit speeds serve most medium-to-big households quite well. The symmetrical speeds are perfect for working from home, livestreaming, and more.
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet: Ideal for cable cutters
T-Mobile Internet pros and cons
If you can’t get a reliable connection with Spectrum or AT&T in your corner of Dallas, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet makes a lot of sense as an alternative. You don’t need any fiber or cable connections set up at your house–all you need to do is sign up for the plan, which comes with an easy-to-install 5G Gateway router. You literally just plug that in and you have a Wi-Fi connection in your house within a few minutes.
Internet speeds max out at around 245Mbps with 5G home internet, which should work great for smaller households, but might not be enough if you’ve got a big family or a lot of roommates.
Best T-Mobile Home Internet plan for most people: $50 home internet: 72–245Mbps for $50.00/mo.
T-Mobile’s 5G internet plan costs $50 a month—but you take up to $20 a month off that price if you sign up for a qualifying T-Mobile cell phone plan along with it.
Tech type availability in Dallas, TX
Fiber availability
Renowned for its reliability, fiber can reach download and upload speeds up to 10,000Mbps. While it isn’t available everywhere, it’s the best internet you can get.
Cable availability
Cable is bread-and-butter internet—widely available, often affordable, and very fast, delivering download speeds that range anywhere from 25Mbps to 1,200Mbps.
DSL availability
DSL maxes out at 100Mbps, but many DSL customers get much slower speeds than that. DSL is becoming obsolete, but it’s still a solid option in rural areas.
Satellite availability
Satellite is available practically everywhere, even in the most remote parts of the country. It’s costly and comes with strict data limits and slow speeds, so use it as a last resort.
