The 30-Second Verdict
Updated| Rank | Provider | Speed Score | Coverage in San Antonio | Up to | From |

| 2 |  AT&TBroad backup | 95 | 92% | 5,000 Mbps | $35/mo |

The ranking weighs each provider’s speed across everywhere it reaches. AT&T’s 95 is its fiber; in about a fifth of the area it serves, AT&T offers only DSL or Internet Air, which is why Spectrum ranks first.
Spectrum is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 89% of San Antonio, and its overall footprint reaching about 91%. Google Fiber is fastest where available, with fiber speeds up to 8,000/8,000 Mbps reaching about 22% of the city; if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice. AT&T is the safe fallback where Spectrum does not reach, mostly fiber, with an overall footprint of about 92% and common fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 56%.
Fiber is the variable. Fiber reaches 97% of Beacon Hill (78201) but only 44% of The Dominion (78256). Find your neighborhood on the map.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for San Antonio
Spectrum’s top Speed Score of 80/100, paired with up to 1,000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, is well suited for busy households, streaming, gaming, and multiple connected devices, and it is above San Antonio’s city average of 66. Cable makes this a solid, reliable choice, though the 1 Gig plan is available to about 89% of the city, so confirm that it reaches your address. Spectrum also offers a lower-cost 500 Mbps plan with a 76/100 Speed Score and a 100 Mbps plan with an 18/100 Speed Score, making the plan choice important for performance.
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 Spectrum
Spectrum’s Internet Gig offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, which is excellent for streaming, gaming, video calls, and busy households. Its cable service is available to about 89% of San Antonio, but availability is address-dependent, so check your address for Gig or Premier 500 Mbps first; the 100 Mbps fallback may feel limiting for larger households and heavy modern internet use.

About Starlink
Starlink uses satellite internet, which can reach homes across San Antonio and offers up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload on its Residential Max plan, making it a useful option where wired service is unavailable, though satellite latency can affect gaming and video calls. It reaches 100% of the city on each listed plan, but you should check your address for faster fiber or cable first, since Starlink’s lower-priced plans offer only up to 200 Mbps or 100 Mbps and satellite is generally less responsive than wired connections.

As a satellite service, it has limited performance compared with other technologies, so check what else is available at your address before choosing it, even though Fusion is available to 100.0% of the city.
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
HughesNet costs $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, offering up to 25 to 100 Mbps download speeds, but satellite service provides below-average performance and can have high latency for video calls, gaming, and other demanding uses. Since all of these plans are satellite, check your address for faster fiber or cable options first, as they may be a better fit for modern internet needs.

About Viasat Inc
Viasat Inc is a backup option rather than a first choice for most San Antonio households, since its satellite plans have below-average speed scores and limited performance for modern internet needs. Viasat Essentials 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 100% of the city. Check your address for fiber or cable first, because Viasat’s satellite service may be adequate for basic use but can be limiting for streaming, gaming, and multiple connected devices.

“Spectrum workers really understand their clients. I recommend Spectrum because they never give you hassle in case your equipment has an issue. They either help you troubleshoot or replace it altogether. They never let you down.”
“These salesmen are liars; they are in it for commission only. They don't care about the customers. My bill was supposed to be $175 and came out to $234. And then they did not want to take it off. Don't trust the sales guy's words.”

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