High Speed Internet in Austin
Austin, Texas is the capital of Texas and the third-fastest-growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006. It also has a budding high tech industry, where many engineering and computer science graduates from the University of Texas at Austin end up settling. In light of these growing industries, high speed internet is widely available in the city of Austin, and residents looking to upgrade to broadband have a number of choices in service types: cable internet, DSL, fiber-optics, and satellite internet.
As a result of the growing number of service types and service providers, it can be a daunting task to find the right plan for you. HighSpeedInternet.com can serve as a one-stop shop to help you narrow down the services and plans that are available in your area. You can simply enter your street address and zip code in the box above and click "Check Availability." In a moment, you'll get real-time rates from multiple providers. It's easy and convenient.
When you have high speed internet, you can experience the full potential of the internet: blazing fast download speeds for music and movies, snappy load times while browsing news, sports, and weather sites, and instant access to email and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Not to mention, no more frustrating dropped connections, missed calls, or inconvenient busy signals that go along with slow dial-up access.
With HighSpeedInternet.com, there's no reason not to upgrade to a broadband connection. Once you've made the switch, you'll see the difference is worlds apart, and you'll never want to go back to a dial-up connection.

May 17, 2012Fast Speeds, Good Service
"Installation is very involved because fiber cable is being run from the street all the way to the home. The process isn't difficult for the customer but a lot of work for the installers. Installers ran Ethernet throughout my home exactly where requested. Speeds have been awesome. I have 50M and never have any slowdowns or glitches."

May 17, 2012Great for gaming and solid upload/download speeds
"I have had DSL and Cable internet and cable clearly is the choice if you want a reliable download speed. I consistently pull 15+mbps down and 6+mbps up. We don't have the option of fiber optics in Salt Lake City. But the price of cable is hard to beat for the speed. "

May 12, 2012So so. Improved service, but seems expensive.
"Service has improved. We used to have many more outages and interruptions. Customer service has improved substantially. The telephone staff are still not pleasant to deal with overall. They can be haughty. The wait time has diminished considerably. It used to be h o u r s . Currently, the price seems exorbitant. I pay over $62 a month in total for high speed internet alone; no cable television or telephone in this amount. Am exploring other options. Unfortunately, there are too few. Would have switched providers long ago otherwise."

"Their DSL (512mb )is NOT fast enough to watch streaming video and they do NOT have anything faster available. The only thing good about it is that it is faster than dial-up. AND they have a monopoly on the service for my area... Disappointing--checking into satellite service...."

"In a nutshell, I have had the techs out to the house too many times. At one point, I pointed out that the techs had been out 6 times in two and half months and the customer service rep said that didn't seem like very many. We've had multiple problems and just when we think it is fully fixed, I now find out someone on their end has changed my log in phone number to my cell phone number and that's why I have been locked out of my account. And I had to find that out by taking a guess as to what the problem was since it has been 4 days since they "fixed" the log in problem. Once I was able to get into the account, I see they have reverted back to an old billing address that hasn't been used for 5 years. Pretty much bad service and technical issues since we began. Including one time when they sent our account to collections because they forwarded the wrong account number."

"My apartment forces me to use CenturyLink and the experience has been a mixed bag. Whenever I have had an issue it really depends on who answers the phone if I will get help or not. Much of their staff seems under-trained."

April 26, 2012Comcast is pretty good
"All in all, Comcast is pretty good. We have digital cable and phone via Comcast as well and we have less complaints than Verizon users seem to have. It can be expensive, but so is Verizon."

"Comcast's speed is OK, unless its the evening or the weekend and then its really lagging. For the price its pretty bad. They are the only internet provider in our area so there isn't much else available. If you have the option to get them and someone else, pick someone else!"
