At $90/mo for 12 months, AT&T’s fiber 5 GIG plan offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways, a $150 reward card, and a 95/100 Speed Score, making it a top-tier option and an excellent choice for heavy internet use. Its score is above the city average of 67, but this plan reaches only about 34% of Katy, so fiber availability depends on your address. Where fiber is unavailable, AT&T Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload over fixed wireless, with more limited performance.

About AT&T
AT&T offers strong value, from $35/mo for up to 300 Mbps to $90/mo for up to 5,000 Mbps, with the fiber plans providing excellent, symmetrical speeds and generous reward cards. Fiber is available at about 37% of Katy addresses for the 1 GIG, 500Mbps, and 300Mbps plans, while the up to 300 Mbps Internet Air fixed wireless option reaches about 24% and has slower uploads, so check your address for fiber first because the fallback may be less suitable for demanding modern use.

About Consolidated Communications

Where the 300 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload plan is available across about 35% of the city, its 66/100 score offers adequate performance but is more limited than the faster option.

About Rise Broadband
Rise Broadband has a very limited footprint in Katy, with its fastest plan reaching about 2% of census blocks, so most shoppers should not count on being able to order it. Where available, fixed wireless offers up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, but it is an adequate rather than high-performance option, so check for faster cable or fiber service at your address first, especially for multiple users, streaming, or work from home.

Our recommendation for Katy
Starlink’s satellite connection can support everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, but its higher latency may be less suitable for competitive gaming or other latency-sensitive use. The Residential Max 400 Mbps plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, with a Speed Score of 75/100, above the city average of 67, and is available to 100.0% of Katy. Because satellite performance can vary by location and weather, check your address and compare available technologies before choosing.

About Starlink
Satellite internet can reach homes that lack wired service, but its higher latency may be noticeable during gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities. Starlink’s strongest option is Residential Max, with up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload for $130 per month and a 75/100 Speed Score, though the $85 Residential 200 Mbps and $55 Residential 100 Mbps plans are also available; check for fiber or cable at your address first, since those technologies are typically a better fit for modern use, while satellite may be only an adequate fallback.

At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months and $119.99/mo thereafter, HughesNet Fusion buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 18/100 Speed Score is below Katy’s city average of 67, making the value limited for that performance. Satellite service typically has higher latency and more limited performance than other technologies, so check what else reaches your address, even though Fusion is listed as available to 100.0% of Katy.
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 HughesNet
At $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 to 100 Mbps download speeds, but its satellite service delivers below-average value for modern, high-bandwidth use. All three plans are available to 100% of Katy, yet you should check your address for faster fiber or cable options first, since satellite can have high latency and may be better suited to basic browsing than gaming, video calls, or heavy streaming.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Katy
Viasat is a limited-performance choice compared with the alternatives available in Katy, despite reaching 100% of the city. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with a Speed Score of 17/100, which is below the city average of 67. Because satellite performance can vary by address and has higher latency, 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
Viasat Inc is a dependable last-resort option in Katy, but you should check for faster internet first because its satellite plans are below average, with Viasat Essentials offering up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, and Viasat Unleashed offering up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month. Both plans are available to 100% of the city, but satellite’s higher latency and modest speeds may not be sufficient for busy households, remote work, or demanding streaming and gaming.

How We Analyze Internet in Katy
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 Katy report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Katy
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.
