Texas internet, metro by metro and county by county

Fiber is available at 74.4% of the 10,399,220 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Texas, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 90.4%. 66.2% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 24.2% there is only one.¹

FCC National Broadband Map, availability as of June 30, 2026 (data revised November 10, 2026), as reported by providers.

South region, West South Central division

Only one state has more fiber providers than Texas, and in its big metro counties most homes and businesses can choose between two or more wired providers. The gaps are scattered, from the far west and the Hill Country to the Panhandle and deep East Texas, and they are what the largest BEAD allocation in the country is meant to reach.

A crowded fiber market

Fiber is reported at 74.4% of Texas's 10.4 million broadband serviceable locations, the 11th highest share among the states, as of June 30, 2026. What sets Texas apart is how many companies build it: 129 different providers report fiber somewhere in the state, the 2nd highest count of any state. AT&T has the largest fiber footprint, at 41.3% of locations, and Frontier reports fiber at 9.1%; newer builders such as Ezee Fiber (5.7%¹ of the state's locations) and dozens of local telephone cooperatives make up the rest.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of the area's broadband serviceable locations where the provider reports service as of June 30, 2026. "Only wired option" is the share of locations where it is the single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. Provider-reported and challengeable; speeds are advertised maximums, not measured; no prices. Satellite providers (HughesNet, Starlink, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.

The cable map is split. Spectrum reaches 47.8% of locations and is the only wired 100/20 provider at 11.8%¹; Xfinity, Optimum and smaller cable companies cover the rest of the cabled areas.

Metro Texas: fiber at most addresses

In the four largest metro counties fiber reaches nearly nine in ten locations: 87.0% in Harris County, around Houston, 86.2% in Dallas County, 87.0% in Tarrant County, around Fort Worth, and 87.6% in Bexar County, around San Antonio. In each of the four, at least 83.7%¹ of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps.

Two large counties sit lower. Travis County, around Austin, has fiber at 72.0% of locations, although the city of Austin itself is at 82.4%, with Google Fiber reporting service at 67.2% of the city. El Paso County is lower still, at 59.7%, though Spectrum's network reaches 96.5% of its locations and wired 100/20 service is almost universal there (97.2%¹).

The largest change among big counties came in the Rio Grande Valley. Fiber's share rose by 39.3 percentage points in Hidalgo County, though at 46.2% it is still the lowest of the state's fifteen largest counties, and by 35.9 percentage points in Cameron County, where VTX Communications reports service at 75.8% of locations. Statewide, fiber reaches half of all locations or more in 186 of the 254² counties, and in 49 the share rose by 50 percentage points or more since 2022. The largest gain, +89.7 percentage points¹, was in Newton County, on the Louisiana line.

Where service runs out

Statewide, 217,940 locations are unserved under the BEAD definition, with no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps, and 139,289¹ are underserved. No Texas county is half unserved, and the highest shares are not in one region but in four.

In the far west, Loving County has the highest share, 47.5% of its 99 locations, and Hudspeth (32.9%) and Jeff Davis (30.4%) counties are also high. Deep East Texas has the second-highest: in San Augustine County 47.3% of locations are unserved, wired 100/20 Mbps reaches 34.3%, and the largest provider by reach is Texas Rural Internet LLC, an unlicensed fixed wireless network. In the Hill Country, Edwards (41.5%), Menard (38.6%), Mason (38.3%) and Kimble (37.0%) counties follow, and between Austin and College Station so do Burleson (37.7%) and Robertson (32.2%¹).

The Panhandle shows a different gap. In Wheeler County fiber rounds to 0.0% and wired 100/20 Mbps reaches only 1.7% of locations; at 46.1% the only 100/20 offer is fixed wireless. In Roberts County, also in the Panhandle, satellite is the only service at 23.4%¹ of locations, the highest share in Texas.

Choice: better than most states

Where fiber and cable overlap, Texans can choose. 66.2% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, a share that ranks tied for 8th highest among the states; only 24.2% have exactly one (5th lowest). In Fort Bend County, southwest of Houston, the share with two or more is 91.0%¹.

Fixed wireless fills the rural gap

Outside the metros, the second option is often a radio link rather than a wire. Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet from T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T, is reported at 91.0% of locations. Regional wireless providers matter more here than in most states: Nextlink reports service at 18.2% of Texas locations and Rise Broadband at 11.5%. At 682,038 locations (6.6%¹), 100/20 Mbps is available only by fixed wireless, with no wired provider at that speed.

BEAD: the largest allocation, a mixed plan

Texas's allocation from the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program, $3.31 billion⁶, is the largest of any state. The approved Final Proposal covers 242,903 locations, the 2nd highest count of any state plan, at a BEAD cost of $1.26 billion, or $5,178 per location; providers committed a further $595.1 million⁷.

Subscriptions, cost and Lifeline

In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 76.8% of Texas households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL and 13.1% relied only on a cellular data plan. Income makes a large difference: 83.9% of households earning under $20,000 had a broadband subscription, against 97.7%¹⁴ of those earning $75,000 or more. In NTIA's 2023 Internet Use Survey, 19.5%¹⁵ of Texas households that did not use the internet at home named cost as the main reason. When the Affordable Connectivity Program stopped enrolling in February 2024, 1,718,552¹³ Texas households were signed up, about 15.6 per 100 households¹⁶; the program ended on June 1, 2024. Lifeline, the $9.25 monthly federal discount that remains, had 201,089¹¹ Texas subscribers, an estimated 9.4% of eligible households, the 12th lowest¹² rate among the states. Providers do not file prices with the FCC; each plan's price is on its broadband facts label.

Questions and answers

What are the biggest internet providers in Texas?

By reported reach, apart from satellite: T-Mobile (71.9% of locations, licensed fixed wireless), AT&T (66.4%, fiber and DSL and licensed fixed wireless), Verizon (62.6%) and Spectrum (47.8%, fiber and cable). AT&T reports fiber at 41.3%¹ of the state's locations, the largest fiber footprint in Texas.

What is the cheapest internet in Texas?

No official source ranks Texas internet prices, and the FCC map has none; each plan's price and fees are on the provider's broadband facts label. What the map does show is where there is a choice to compare: at 66.2%¹ of Texas locations two or more wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps. Lifeline, the federal low-income discount, reaches an estimated 9.4%¹² of eligible Texas households.

How many Texans lack broadband?

Measured in FCC locations rather than people, the gap is small in share but large in number. As of June 30, 2026, 217,940 Texas locations (2.1%) were unserved under the BEAD definition, with no reliable service of 25/3 Mbps, and 139,289 more were underserved. At 52,740¹ locations no wired or fixed wireless provider reports service at all.

How much BEAD money does Texas get?

Texas has the largest BEAD allocation of any state, $3.31 billion⁶. Its approved Final Proposal covers 242,903 locations at a BEAD cost of $1.26 billion; $2.05 billion⁷ of the allocation is not assigned to construction.

Checking one address in Texas

The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
