AMARILLO, TX INTERNET
Find internet providers in Amarillo, TX
Find internet offered in Amarillo, TX – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedAmarillo runs best on fiber, with cable next and wireless or satellite only as fallback. Fiber is the option to want: AT&T covers 68.0% citywide, with its up to 5000/5000 Mbps tier reaching about 60%, while Vexus Fiber covers 60.2%, with up to 1000/1000 Mbps reaching about 60%. Pathwayz reaches 21.4% with up to 1000/1000 Mbps fiber, so check your address before ruling it out. Those symmetrical, low-latency speeds suit heavy work-from-home, big uploads, competitive gaming, and device-packed homes. AT&T fiber leads Wolflin 79109 at 89.6% and San Jacinto 79102 at 78.1%; Puckett and Sleepy Hollow still require address checks. Optimum is the strong everyday alternative, reaching 69.0% citywide with up to 940/35 Mbps cable, usually cheaper and plenty for streaming, browsing, and video calls, so ask whether you actually need multi-gig fiber. Verizon fixed wireless reaches 69.2%, with its up to 300/20 Mbps tier at about 66%, while T-Mobile reaches 78.8% overall, but its up to 100/20 tier reaches about 23%. Students at Amarillo College Washington Street Campus and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy should watch for old copper and apartment wiring; if fiber or cable misses your exact address, Starlink is the last-resort satellite backup, so confirm the unit is wired for the service.

Our recommendation for Amarillo
Households that need fast, low-latency service for streaming, gaming, remote work, and large uploads should want AW Broadband’s fiber, an excellent top-tier option offering up to 1000 Mbps symmetrical speeds with a 92/100 speed score. Fiber reaches 3.2% of Amarillo, while AW Broadband’s overall coverage is 10.4%, so check whether fiber is available at your exact address. Where only the up to 100/50 Mbps fixed wireless plan is available, its 46/100 score reflects more limited performance, making it worth checking other providers first.
About AW Broadband
Households that need fast, reliable service for streaming, work, gaming, or multiple users should put AW Broadband’s fiber first on their list: it offers up to 1000 Mbps both ways, with a Speed Score of 92/100, but that plan reaches only 3.2% of census blocks. AW Broadband reaches 10.4% of Amarillo overall, yet many addresses may instead see Lbr Fixed Wireless, primarily up to 100 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up with a Speed Score of 46/100, or copper up to 500 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up, so check your exact address for fiber before relying on fallback options that may not meet heavier modern needs.

Our recommendation for Amarillo
Your monthly bill with AMA TechTel Communications buys up to 75 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload on its licensed fixed wireless plan, a Speed Score of 44/100 that trails Amarillo’s average top speed score of 72. Its fiber is the connection to want where available, offering up to 50 Mbps download and 8 Mbps upload with a 42/100 score, but it reaches only 3.5% of the city, while the fastest licensed fixed wireless tier reaches 4.8%. Because AMA TechTel Communications reaches 8.3% of Amarillo overall and also offers limited copper service at up to 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, check your exact address and consider other available providers first if fiber or fixed wireless is not offered.
About AMA TechTel Communications
At its current monthly price, AMA TechTel Communications offers modest value for its limited 8.3% Amarillo coverage, with the fastest option reaching up to 75 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up over licensed fixed wireless. Fiber is the connection to want where available, offering up to 50 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up across 3.5% of census blocks, while the faster fixed wireless plan reaches 4.8%, so availability is highly address-dependent. Check your exact address for fiber or fixed wireless first, since the 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up copper fallback is suitable mainly for basic browsing and may not meet modern household needs.

Satellite internet offers broad access for everyday browsing and streaming, though its higher latency can affect gaming and video calls.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, which reaches 100.0% of Amarillo and offers up to 400 Mbps, but its higher latency can affect gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Amarillo
Viasat Inc is best viewed as a fallback option for Amarillo addresses that lack stronger wired service. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 6, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload with a score of 1, both well below the city’s 72 average top speed score. Satellite’s higher latency and limited performance make it worth checking other providers available at your exact address first.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is mainly a fallback option in Amarillo, reaching 96.6% of the city with satellite plans that offer up to 55 Mbps for $69.99 per month or up to 34 Mbps for $99.99 per month, with low Speed Scores of 6/100 and 1/100. Check your exact address for faster wired service first, since satellite can be limiting for modern needs and Viasat is best suited to homes without better options.

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
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
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.
