Best Internet Providers in Arlington, TX

AT&T Fiber and Spectrum are the best internet providers in Arlington. Of the two, AT&T Fiber is the best because they offer unmatched symmetrical speeds up to 5 Gbps. This means that download and upload speeds are identical. AT&T Fiber plans start at $55 per month, but customers can bundle their internet with TV and wireless services for extra savings. All AT&T Fiber plans also come with a free AT&T Wi-Fi gateway, eliminating equipment costs. Plus, AT&T stands out with customers for lightning-fast speeds and excellent customer service, which put this provider in the top position in J.D. Power’s 2024 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study in the North Central and West regions.

Spectrum Internet is the next best option in Arlington because they offer download speeds up to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary) for Arlington residents. While not as fast as AT&T Fiber, Spectrum holds their own and offers affordable internet-only plans that start at price-low p=”spec-cable”] per month (for the first 12 months). Like AT&T Fiber, Spectrum includes bundle options such as Spectrum TV®, Spectrum Voice® and Spectrum Mobile®.

Internet Availability in Arlington, TX

Arlington residents have a couple of solid options for wired internet providers, but the best choice depends on where they live. Two providers in the city offer high-speed internet: AT&T Fiber and Spectrum.

AT&T Fiber covers 52.2% of the city. Its coverage zones are scattered throughout town, with a noticeable absence near the city center. If you live along West Park Row Drive — starting at the Shady Valley Country Club in the west and stretching all the way to State Highway 360 in the east — you’re likely covered by AT&T Fiber. North of the city center barely has AT&T Fiber coverage, but it’s available if you keep going past East North Street.

For more widespread availability, Spectrum reaches 95.8% of Arlington. It covers more areas around the city center, specifically south of East Abram Street. Some portions of the city, however, don’t fall under Spectrum territory, including the University of Texas at Arlington. It’s still a much more accessible internet provider than AT&T Fiber, though, since most neighborhoods fall within its coverage zones.
