Spectrum Internet gives Austinites the choice between four speed tiers to fit every household’s budget and internet needs. With speeds reaching up to 1,000Mbps and prices up to $60 per month, you can get cable internet (and fiber in some select areas) at a great price for all your streaming, remote work, and online shopping needs.
Keep in mind that you get Spectrum’s advertised monthly price for 24 months (the duration of the initial promotional period). The price increases after that, but if you find a better deal elsewhere, you can cancel at any time without paying an early termination fee. No annual contracts here!
Best Spectrum internet plan for most people: Internet Ultra, 500Mbps for $39.99/mo.
Perfect for mid-sized households, this 500Mbps plan gives families ample bandwidth to stream and game on multiple devices, work remotely, and connect smart home devices. If this is too much or too little of speed for your household, Spectrum has other affordable options.
Google Fiber is a fiber-optic internet provider, giving you the fastest, most reliable internet at the highest value. With gigabit plans that go all the way up to 8Gbps, it’s the best pick for power users, content creators, and big households: Those speeds ensure that all of your internet activities run smoothly—including 4K streaming of Texas Longhorns games.
Unfortunately, you can’t find Google Fiber in every part of Austin, but it’s well worth getting if it’s available in your neighborhood. But with fair pricing and top speeds, Google Fiber is hard to beat.
Best Google Fiber internet plan for most people: 1,000Mbps for $70.00/mo.
Google Fiber’s 1Gbps plan delivers perfect speeds for gamers, live streamers, and a full work-from-home setup. Don’t worry about the multi-gigabit plans that Google Fiber offers—this gigabit deal offers plenty for everybody.
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has won over many consumers with its generous terms. You don’t have to worry about contracts, data caps, or extra fees for installation or equipment. Setting it up is a breeze, and having unlimited data means you can use your Wi-Fi as much as you’d like without accruing overage charges. You get all this for just $50 a month, making it a nice deal indeed.
Best T-Mobile Home Internet plan for most people: $50 home internet, 72–245Mbps for $50.00/mo.
T-Mobile offers a single plan best for small households and those with a budget. The downside to T-Mobile Home Internet is that the internet comes to your home wirelessly, so speeds fluctuate more than with cable and fiber internet. But these speeds are solid for most people.
