Internet Provider Reviews in Fort Worth, TX

EarthLink, Spectrum, and T-Mobile are the best internet providers in Fort Worth, Texas. EarthLink is a great fiber option around town, and its speedy plan options keep you connected from the Stockyards to Benbrook Lake. Spectrum provides reliable cable internet access across Cowtown, and for a reasonable price to boot. T-Mobile’s 5G home internet is another great pick. Its easy setup and straightforward pricing makes it a great option for a TCU student needing to get online quickly.

From Billy Bob’s to the Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth residents have plenty of great options, but EarthLink is the best. Its fiber connection offers plenty of speeds to stream live TV or download a movie with ease, not to mention its packages are reasonably priced and available in much of the city.

Spectrum has the most widespread internet service area in Fort Worth. It’s available to over 85% of residents in Tarrant County, according to the FCC’s broadband data. Spectrum’s cable internet is more reliable than satellite internet options like Viasat or Hughesnet, which are also widely available but offer spotty coverage for higher prices.

For internet that makes you want to say, “Yeehaw,” try EarthLink. EarthLink's fiber internet is available across Cow City. With its no-data-cap, no-throttling policy, it's an excellent fit for anyone who needs a reliable connection for streaming, gaming, and working remotely from your Fort Worth home.

If you work with the Fort Worth Entrepreneurship Center to build a business you run out of your home, EarthLink is a great choice in that case as well. As your business grows, though, you may want to switch to a business internet plan instead of a residential one.

Best EarthLink internet plan for most Fort Worth residents: [Super-Fast, 500Mbps for undisclosed price]

EarthLink describes its 500Mbps plan as “great for connected households,” including multiple users and devices. Even those with a vast smart home in Tanglewood should be satisfied with the Super-Fast plan (but if you aren’t, you can always upgrade). Be aware—you must call in to buy, which is no bueno if you have phone anxiety or work regular business hours at Lockheed Martin.

If you'd like to take your connectivity to a football game or a stroll through Fort Worth Water Gardens, you get a free 12-month Spectrum Mobile line when you bundle your internet and phone service in a Spectrum One package.

Best Spectrum internet plan for most Fort Worth residents: Internet Premier, 500Mbps for $50.00/mo. See more savings with this Spectrum Internet deals page.

About 500Mbps is all you need for an apartment in Woodhaven or single-family home in Arlington Heights (yup, Spectrum is available in multiple neighborhoods). For the first two years, it’s $50.00 a month, which is a good deal for the amount of speed. After that 24 months, though, the price increases. Hopefully the price hike is reasonable, but if not you can switch providers—it’d be no fun to cut back on dinners at The Capital Grille!

Is internet analysis paralysis frustrating you so much you need to visit the Fort Worth Axe Factory to get your frustrations out? Then easy-setup, one-plan-only T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is the way to go.

T-Mobile's wireless network makes it quick and easy to connect your home to the service. You don't have to rent equipment or pay installation fees. And if you need something budget friendly (as so many in Fort Worth do), you can rest easy that your monthly payment doesn’t have a bunch of extra costs tacked on.

Best T-Mobile 5G Home Internet plan for most Fort Worth residents: Internet Rely, 37–318Mbps for $50.00/mo.
