Internet Availability in Tyler, TX

You’ll want to choose your internet provider based on its speeds and perks, but that doesn’t matter if it’s not available at your address. We recommend checking out Optimum or AT&T in Tyler for the best chance of getting solid coverage at your home.

Optimum offers more coverage than any other internet provider in Tyler, reaching 43.8% of the city. That widespread coverage is due to its cable network, which extends to most houses in the area. Whether you live inside Loop 323 or in one of the many communities outside the loop, such as Pine Springs, Bascom, New Chapel Hill, Elberta, or Shady Grove, Optimum is likely available at your address. The only places where Optimum has some coverage gaps in Tyler are around the University of Texas at Tyler and south of State Highway 31 East near Dean Road.

If you don’t want to go with Optimum’s cable internet service, you can also go with AT&T, which offers IPBB and fiber internet throughout Tyler. AT&T’s service is focused around Downtown Tyler, southeastern Tyler toward New Chapel Hill, and in south Tyler in the neighborhoods around Shiloh Road and East Grande Boulevard. If you live in north Tyler, near Tyler Pounds Regional Airport, or along the Old Kilgore Highway, we recommend considering another internet provider, such as Vexus or T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

Fastest Internet Providers in Tyler, TX
