San Antonians are lucky to live in a city with excellent infrastructure. Don’t be fooled by the leisurely cafe scene along the River Walk or the historic cobblestone streets of La Villita. San Antonio is scenic—and it has soul—but that doesn’t mean we don’t like our internet served fast and fiery.

Most San Antonians have access to superfast internet speeds from AT&T and Spectrum. Fiber internet and fixed wireless are also available.

The best internet service for San Antonio residents is an internet plan that gives you enough speed without charging you for extra bandwidth you don’t need. For some families, a download speed of 25 Mbps is ample, while others need 400 Mbps or more to keep everyone peacefully streaming and gaming through the long, hot summer. Use our How Much Speed Do I Need? Tool to get a recommended speed package for your home.

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).

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.

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.
