Internet Providers in Amarillo, TX
Compare every internet provider in Amarillo, TX: coverage from FCC filings, plan prices checked monthly, and an address check for your street.
The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedOptimum is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 940 Mbps reaching about 69% of Amarillo. If it reaches your address, AT&T is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 60% of the city. Where Optimum does not reach, Vexus Fiber is the safe fallback, mostly fiber with a 1,000/1,000 Mbps tier reaching about 60% of the city.
Local results lean heavily toward AT&T fiber: it covers about 90% of Puckett in ZIP 79109, about 89% around Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 79106, and about 91% in ZIPs 79103 and 79107. ZIP 79101 is a little more mixed, while ZIP 79105 has the narrowest AT&T lead at about 55%, with Vexus Fiber reaching about 26% and Pathwayz about 11%. Students at Amarillo College and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center should check apartment infrastructure carefully, since older buildings may still be limited to slower copper service, even when nearby homes have fiber. Verizon and T-Mobile are worth checking for fixed wireless, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

Households with heavy streaming, gaming, and work-from-home needs should consider AW Broadband’s fiber plan, offering up to 1000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 80, making it a top-tier option. However, this fiber plan reaches only about 3% of Amarillo, so the strongest service may not be available at your address. Where fiber is unavailable, the up to 500/50 Mbps copper plan scores 76, while fixed wireless options score as low as 5, so check other providers first if your address is limited to the lower-performing plans.

About AW Broadband
AW Broadband can be a strong choice for remote workers, gamers, and larger households at addresses with its fiber plan, offering up to 1000 Mbps both ways, though that option reaches only about 3% of census blocks. Availability is highly address-dependent, and the fallback copper and fixed wireless plans, including up to 500/50 Mbps copper and up to 100/50 Mbps fixed wireless, may be less suitable for demanding modern use, so check for faster options at your address first.

Satellite internet can handle streaming, browsing, and many everyday online activities, with Starlink’s Residential Max plan offering up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload and a Speed Score of 75/100, above Amarillo’s city average of 61. Its higher latency can be noticeable for competitive gaming and some video calls, so while the plan is available to 100.0% of Amarillo, check other technologies at your address if low-latency performance is a priority.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite technology, so it is widely available across Amarillo and offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, but higher latency can make gaming and video calls less consistent. It is a useful option where wired service is unavailable, though you should check your address for fiber or cable first, since those technologies typically provide a better day-to-day experience than satellite.

About HughesNet
HughesNet costs $39.99 per month for up to 25/3 Mbps, $49.99 for up to 50/5 Mbps, or $94.99 for up to 100/5 Mbps during the first 12 months, with prices increasing afterward, so the higher tiers may feel expensive for their speeds. All three satellite plans are available to 100.0% of Amarillo, but satellite latency and below-average performance can limit video calls, gaming, and busy households, so check for faster fiber or cable service at your address first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Amarillo
Viasat Inc is a limited-performance option compared with alternatives, with a headline Speed Score of 17/100 versus Amarillo’s city average of 61. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month, and both are available to 97% of the city. Satellite service can have higher latency, so check what other technologies are available at your specific address before choosing.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About Viasat Inc

How We Analyze Internet in Amarillo
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Amarillo report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Amarillo
How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.
Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.
How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
