Find internet providers in New Braunfels, TX
Find internet offered in New Braunfels, 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
UpdatedUp to 5,000/5,000 Mbps fiber from AT&T is the fastest realistic option here, and it is what to want for heavy work-from-home, big uploads, competitive gaming, or a house full of devices. AT&T reaches 72.4% of the city, though its top fiber tier specifically reaches about 30%, so check your address first. Other fiber choices include Guadalupe Valley Electric Coop, reaching 17.8% overall with 1000/1000 Mbps fiber available to about 8%, Astound Broadband, reaching 4.5% overall with up to 1500/1500 Mbps fiber available to about 2%, Spectrum, reaching 80.7% overall with up to 1000/500 Mbps fiber available to about 3%, and GVTC fiber listed at up to 1000/250 Mbps for about 19% of the city. Cable is the practical winner for many households, with Spectrum reaching 80.7% overall and offering up to 1000/35 Mbps to about 80%, while Astound reaches 4.5% with up to 1500/50 Mbps cable to about 3%. In Mission Oaks, 78130, AT&T fiber is especially prominent, while River Chase, 78132, has a close GVTC and Spectrum split. For students near Texas State University, including Dove Crossing and Copper Ridge, verify wiring and avoid apartments stuck on old copper if you need dependable Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Verizon fixed wireless reaches 72.4%, with its 300/20 Mbps tier covering about 71%, while T-Mobile is a budget backup at 81.7% overall. If neither fiber nor cable reaches your exact address, Starlink is the satellite fallback, with its 220/30 Mbps tier available to about 93%. Coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address, and apartment renters should verify that their unit is actually wired for fiber.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for New Braunfels
AT&T’s $35/mo introductory Fiber 300 plan buys up to 300 Mbps both ways for the first 12 months, then costs $60/mo, with a 78/100 Speed Score. Its Fiber 1 GIG and Fiber 5 GIG plans raise performance to up to 1000 Mbps and 5000 Mbps both ways, scoring 93/100 and 99/100, making fiber a top-tier option that is competitive with New Braunfels’ 69 average top speed score. AT&T reaches 72.4% of the city, but its fiber plans are available to 30.4%, so check your exact address for fiber; where it is unavailable, Internet Air is fixed wireless with up to 300 Mbps and a 75/100 score, reaching 22.8%.
About AT&T
AT&T offers excellent value where its fiber is available, with up to 5,000 Mbps both ways for $95/mo for the first 12 months, then $135/mo, and up to 1,000 Mbps both ways for $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo; the up to 300 Mbps Fiber plan is an especially affordable $35/mo for the first 12 months, then $60/mo. Fiber is the option to want, but it reaches only 30.4% of New Braunfels addresses, while AT&T Internet Air reaches 22.8% with up to 300 Mbps and is adequate rather than excellent, so check your exact address before counting on AT&T’s fastest plans, even though the provider reaches 72.4% of the city overall.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for New Braunfels
Up to 1,000 Mbps download and 250 Mbps upload can comfortably support 4K streaming, gaming, video calls, and busy households, and GVTC’s fiber plan earns an excellent 84/100 Speed Score. Fiber is the top-tier option where it reaches, with the plan listed at 18.6% of the city, while GVTC’s overall coverage is 3.7%. Address availability matters because some locations receive copper service at only up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload, with a 4/100 score, so check your exact address and consider other providers first if fiber is unavailable.
About GVTC
GVTC’s up to 1000 Mbps download and 250 Mbps upload fiber plan, rated 84/100, is excellent for 4K streaming, remote work, gaming, and many connected devices. Fiber is the option to want, but it reaches 18.6% of census blocks within GVTC’s 3.7% New Braunfels coverage, so check your exact address; where it is unavailable, the up to 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload copper plan reaches 6.7% of census blocks and may not be sufficient for modern internet needs.

Our recommendation for New Braunfels
Streaming-focused households and everyday users seeking affordable internet may find T-Mobile’s 5G fixed wireless a competitive choice, with Amplified and All-In offering up to 498 Mbps and a 76/100 speed score, while Rely reaches up to 354 Mbps with a 75/100 score. These scores exceed New Braunfels’s average top speed score of 69, though fixed wireless can vary more than wired connections in real-world use. T-Mobile covers 81.7% of the city, but each listed plan reaches 37.6%, so confirm availability at your exact address before choosing.
About T-Mobile

T-Mobile reaches 81.7% of New Braunfels, but these plans are available to 37.6% of the city, so check your exact address first since fixed wireless can be adequate rather than as consistent as cable or fiber.

Our recommendation for New Braunfels
Households that prioritize fast, low-latency service should want Guadalupe Valley Electric Coop’s fiber, an excellent choice with up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload, a 92/100 Speed Score that exceeds the city’s 69 average top speed score, and reach covering 7.7% of New Braunfels. The provider reaches 17.8% of the city overall, while its fixed wireless options offer more limited performance: up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload with a 44/100 score across 7.4% of the city, or up to 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload with a 28/100 score across 7.7%. Because these technology footprints vary by address, check your exact location for fiber first, and consider checking other providers if only fixed wireless is available.
About Guadalupe Valley Electric Coop
Homes that need fast, reliable internet for streaming, remote work, and gaming should look first for Guadalupe Valley Electric Coop’s fiber, which offers up to 1000 Mbps down and up with a Speed Score of 92/100, though this fiber tier reaches 7.7% of census blocks within the provider’s 17.8% New Braunfels coverage.

Astound Broadband is a top-tier choice where its fiber is available, offering up to 1500 Mbps download and 1500 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 93, well above New Braunfels’ average top speed score of 69. Its cable plan is also a solid option, with up to 1500 Mbps download, 50 Mbps upload, and a Speed Score of 89. Availability depends on your exact address: Astound Broadband reaches 4.5% of the city overall, while its fiber plan reaches 2.1% and its cable plan reaches 3.0%, so check whether fiber is available at your address.
About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong speed option, but its limited 4.5% coverage means it is available to only a small share of New Braunfels.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for New Braunfels
Satellite internet offers broad reach, but its higher latency can affect video calls, gaming, and other real-time uses compared with wired connections. Starlink’s Residential – Max plan provides up to 400 Mbps for $130/mo with a Speed Score of 65/100, while the 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans score 43/100 at $85/mo and $55/mo; each plan is available to 92.7% of New Braunfels, even though Starlink’s overall coverage is 100.0% of the city. Because these scores are below the city’s average top speed score of 69, check other providers at your exact address first when a wired option is available.
About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, giving many homes a way to get online where wired service is unavailable, but its higher latency can make gaming, video calls, and other real-time use less reliable. The provider reaches 100.0% of New Braunfels, though each listed plan is available to 92.7% of the city, with up to 400 Mbps for $130/mo, up to 200 Mbps for $85/mo, or up to 100 Mbps for $55/mo; since these plans have below-average Speed Scores of 65/100 or 43/100, check for fiber or cable at your exact address first and consider Starlink a fallback.

About HughesNet
At $64.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $89.99/mo, HughesNet’s Elite satellite plan buys up to 100 Mbps, but its 28/100 Speed Score makes it a modest value, especially since Fusion costs $94.99/mo for the same advertised speed. Check your exact address for faster wired options first, because HughesNet’s satellite service reaches 100.0% of New Braunfels but has high latency, and its lower-priced Select and Lite plans offer only up to 50 Mbps and 25 Mbps for basic use.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for New Braunfels
Viasat is a fallback rather than a first choice in New Braunfels, with satellite service scoring well below the city’s 69 average: its Essentials plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month with a Speed Score of 6, while Unleashed offers up to 34/4 Mbps for $99.99 with a score of 1. Both plans reach 100.0% of the city, but satellite’s high latency and limited performance make it worth checking other providers first for your address.
About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is mainly a fallback option in New Braunfels, so check for faster wired internet first, especially since its satellite plans have below-average speed scores. Viasat Essentials offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99/mo, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99/mo; both satellite plans reach 100.0% of the city but may be limiting for modern households.

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.
