My experience with AT&T
AT&T is Very fast since I have a fiber optic plan but they occasionally rise the price on the bill by 50 or 40 bucks but the internet is reliable with ethernet or wirless and overall Is a good internet provider unless you want freedom on your Router

Best internet providers in Houston, TX

Upsides of having unreliable internet in Houston: Every time it goes down, you can say, “Houston, we have a problem.” And … yeah, that’s pretty much it. It’s miles better to have working internet, so we’ve picked some top options in Houston you could switch to.

Xfinity is almost as prominent in Space City as General Houston’s name, while AT&T Fiber is less widespread but fast and stable. And if your pocketbook feels light, you can always try Astound Broadband’s low intro pricing.

Best internet deals in Houston, TX

Written by Brenna Elieson. Last updated: December 2, 2025

The best internet deal I’ve found in Houston, Texas, is with Xfinity. Along with limited-time offers below, customers can get Peacock, Apple TV+, and Netflix for just $15 per month. And that’s not all theTV perks available for folks in Houston. Get Xfinity Sports and News TV for $70 per month, which includes 50+ top channels like ESPN and even includes a Peacock Premium subscription.

From what I’ve seen, Xfinity’s internet and mobile deals refresh pretty regularly, so check out a full list of Xfinity’s latest internet deals.

Limited-time Xfinity offer: Get Gig internet for $50/mo for 5 years—No contract. No commitment. (Expires 12/21/25)

Xfinity Internet deals:

  • Get 300Mbps for $40/month plus a free Unlimited Mobile line for one year (Expires 12/16/25)
  • $15/mo. StreamSaver package with AppleTV+, Netflix Standard with ads, and Peacock Premium (with ads)
  • $30/mo. NOW StreamSaver package with 125+ live channels plus AppleTV+, Netflix Standard with ads, and Peacock Premium (with ads)
  • Earn up to $500 with referrals

AT&T Fiber also offers some deals I think are worth pointing out, starting with a 20% monthly discount on your internet bill. You qualify for this discount when you sign up for AT&T Fiber and an AT&T wireless plan on the same day. Bundled savings are also available to existing AT&T wireless customers. AT&T Fiber packages have no annual price hikes and is contract-free.

I know AT&T deals update about every month, so see a full rundown of AT&T’s most recent new-customer deals.

Limited-time AT&T Fiber offer: Get a $150 Reward Card with the purchase of any AT&T Fiber plan. (Expires 12/11/2025)

AT&T Fiber deals:

  • 55+ deal—Bundle two unlimited wireless lines with AT&T Fiber for $99/mo.
  • 20% monthly discount with wireless + home internet bundle
  • Refer a friend and both receive a bill credit
  • Switch to AT&T Fiber 300Mbps or higher and have your cancellation fees covered in full
  • Order 2 Gig or 5 Gig and get a Wi-Fi 7 gateway

I found some limited-time bonuses and bundle deals with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, including a $15 monthly discount when you sign up for T-Mobile Home Internet and bundle it with a T-Mobile cell phone plan. That discount continues for as long as you have the plan.

I like that T-Mobile internet plans include tons of perks on their own, like free 5G gateway rental, 24/7 customer support, and unlimited data. You also get a price guarantee for five years, so you don’t have to worry about your bill increasing. (I’d say that’s just as good a deal as the cash.) Explore our full guide to T-Mobile’s current internet deals and promotions.
