DSL:

DSL provides internet service via phone cables and is up to ten times faster than dial-up service.

Cable:

Cable provides internet speeds faster than DSL through the same cables used for cable TV.

Satellite:

Satellite internet is widely available, but offers slower speeds due to a far-traveling signal.

Fiber:

Fiber relies on glass strands to relay digital code and is much faster than both DSL and cable.

San Antonio might be the most historic city in Texas—with five beautiful missions and a lot of culture to boot—but it’s also pretty darn tech-savvy. Forbes ranked San Antonio fifth in the nation for fastest internet speed. The fastest internet in San Antonio comes from fiber providers, although cable internet is also a great option.

Those living closer to the city center are more likely to have fiber internet options with gigabit plans (with download speeds up to 1,000 Mbps). San Antonio’s north, northwest, and central downtown areas have access to fiber internet service from Google Fiber, AT&T, and Guadalupe Valley Telephone Cooperative. These three companies offer the fastest internet in San Antonio.

If you can’t get fiber internet where you live, you can probably get Spectrum. Charter Spectrum offers cable internet with download speeds that equal fiber (although Spectrum’s upload speeds are slower than fiber).

San Antonio residential internet coverage

AT&T offers DSL and fiber internet service in the San Antonio metro area, from the downtown area and all the way out to Cibolo, Helotes, and South San Antonio. AT&T has a few no coverage areas in newly developed parts of Brooks City Base and near the Lackland Air Force Base, but most of San Antonio residents can get AT&T Internet.

Spectrum offers high-speed cable internet throughout San Antonio and the surrounding suburbs. Google Fiber offers fiber internet service in the West and Northeast San Antonio areas, including the areas of Westover Hills, Wilshire Terrace, and East Terrell Hills.

Residents living in downtown, north, or northeast San Antonio can also get affordable cable internet from Grande Communications, including areas like Alamo Heights, Oak Meadows, Redland Estates, Whispering Oaks, and El Dorado.

There are also reliable broadband DSL and fixed-wireless internet services in San Antonio, although they have limited coverage. These providers—like Alamo Broadband Inc, Ranch Wireless, Rock Solid Internet, Ziplink, and Bee Creek Communications—offer slower than average speeds, but they tend to offer better customer service and competitive pricing.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
