Spectrum vs Frontier in Irving
Irving shoppers trade Spectrum’s broader availability for Frontier’s faster fiber speeds, but Frontier reaches fewer homes and costs nearly the same.
Spectrum is the better overall pick in Irving because it reaches about 88% of the city, offers strong download and upload performance, and starts at $30/mo. Frontier wins on speed, with a 99 speed score and up to 7,000/7,000 Mbps where it reaches your address, while Spectrum wins on coverage. Frontier is also cheaper by one cent at $29.99/mo, but its availability is more limited.
