77493 Internet Providers

Broadband in 77493 is unusually competitive for a suburban ZIP code. Current provider records show overlapping fiber networks from Fidium, Ezee Fiber and AT&T alongside a broad Xfinity cable footprint and multiple fixed-wireless networks. Smaller fiber footprints from Hotwire Communications and Astound also appear in current ZIP-level records. The result is a market where the provider list can change substantially from one subdivision or property to another.

What the 77493 broadband evidence shows

77493 stands out because fiber is not limited to one incumbent network. Current ZIP-level datasets identify Fidium and Ezee Fiber as major fiber footprints, while AT&T also identifies Katy and ZIP 77493 with fiber service. Xfinity remains a major wired competitor, and fixed wireless from T-Mobile, Verizon, Rise Broadband and Resound Networks adds another layer of competition.

Fiber competition

Multiple fiber networks overlap

Current ZIP-level datasets identify Fidium Fiber, Ezee Fiber and AT&T among the important fiber networks in 77493. Smaller Hotwire Communications and Astound Broadband fiber footprints are also reported. This is materially different from a ZIP where one fiber provider competes mainly against a single cable network.

Cable

Xfinity remains a major wired option

Current 77493 data report Xfinity cable across most of the ZIP, with a smaller Xfinity fiber footprint also identified. The distinction matters because an Xfinity listing alone does not establish which network technology reaches a particular property.

New development

Northwest Katy is still adding homes

Communities such as Sunterra and Elyson continue to add new residential construction in 77493. New streets, subdivisions and multifamily properties can receive network infrastructure at different stages, making address-level verification particularly important in this ZIP.

77493 provider comparison

The table separates broad ZIP-level evidence from the service that a particular property can actually order. Current secondary datasets use different methodologies and reporting dates, so coverage percentages below are presented as research estimates rather than exact household counts.

ZIP-level interpretation: 77493 has a stronger fiber presence than a typical cable-dominated suburban market. Fidium, Ezee Fiber and AT&T create overlapping fiber competition, while Xfinity remains a major wired alternative. Fixed wireless is also substantial. Coverage percentages from different datasets should not be combined as if they were measured by one identical methodology.

Internet providers serving the 77493 market

The provider descriptions below focus on networks with current evidence in or specifically associated with ZIP 77493. Broad networks are separated from smaller footprints and wireless alternatives.

Fidium Fiber

Fiber Large 77493 footprint Up to 2 Gbps

Fidium is one of the most significant fiber providers identified in current 77493 data. A current ZIP-level dataset estimates fiber availability at about 80% of the ZIP, while an earlier FCC-derived dataset reported more than 90%. The difference illustrates why coverage percentages should be treated as estimates rather than exact property counts.

  • Fidium is a major fiber competitor in 77493 rather than a small niche footprint.
  • Current ZIP-level records report multi-gigabit fiber availability.
  • Fidium also appears in local Katy business and economic-development records at 1400 Avenue A, Katy, TX 77493.
  • Some older copper/DSL records remain in the ZIP and should not be confused with Fidium's newer fiber network.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level provider data identify Fidium fiber across a large portion of 77493. The Katy Area Economic Development Council also lists Fidium Fiber at 1400 Avenue A in Katy 77493. The live address checker remains the final test for residential serviceability.

Ezee Fiber

Fiber Major local network Up to 8 Gbps reported

Ezee Fiber is another important part of the 77493 broadband market. Current ZIP-level provider data report a very large Ezee footprint, with one current dataset listing 100% availability in the ZIP and speeds up to 8 Gbps. That figure should be interpreted as a dataset coverage estimate rather than proof that every individual address can order the same tier.

  • Ezee creates direct fiber competition with Fidium and AT&T.
  • Current provider records identify multi-gigabit fiber in 77493.
  • Newer residential construction can make the exact street and phase of a development important.
  • The maximum advertised tier is not necessarily available at every Ezee-served address.
Local evidence: Current 77493 provider data identify Ezee Fiber as a major fiber network with speeds reported up to 8 Gbps. Exact address verification is still required because ZIP-wide coverage estimates do not establish individual serviceability.

Xfinity

Cable Large ZIP footprint Fiber reported in limited areas

Xfinity remains one of the broadest wired networks in 77493. Current ZIP-level data estimate cable availability around 94%–96% of the ZIP, with a smaller Xfinity fiber footprint also reported. This makes Xfinity particularly relevant when comparing older established homes with newer developments where fiber construction may have changed the competitive set.

  • Cable is the dominant Xfinity technology reported in 77493.
  • Current data also identify Xfinity fiber at a smaller share of locations.
  • Some current ZIP-level records report cable download tiers up to 2 Gbps.
  • Upload capacity can vary substantially by network type and address.
Local evidence: A current ZIP-level dataset estimates Xfinity cable coverage at about 94% of 77493, while another recent dataset reports about 96%. The disagreement is a reminder that the percentages are modeled or dataset-derived estimates, not a property-by-property ordering result.

AT&T Fiber

Fiber Katy / 77493 identified Up to 5 Gbps

AT&T provides one of the strongest first-party pieces of evidence for 77493. Its current Katy service page states that AT&T provides home internet in Katy and advertises speeds up to 5 Gbps where available. AT&T's area-code information also identifies Katy and lists 77493 among the Katy ZIP codes associated with fiber service.

  • AT&T specifically identifies 77493 rather than relying only on a broad Houston claim.
  • Fiber is the relevant AT&T network to investigate at a serviceable address.
  • Current AT&T availability is address dependent.
  • AT&T Internet Air is a separate wireless product and should not be treated as equivalent to fiber.
Local evidence: AT&T's current Katy information identifies 77493 among the Katy ZIP codes associated with fiber up to 5 GIG where available. Its live address checker determines whether the property receives fiber and which tier is offered.

T-Mobile Home Internet

5G fixed wireless Large reported footprint Capacity-dependent

T-Mobile Home Internet is a meaningful alternative in 77493 rather than simply a backup for rural properties. Current ZIP-level datasets report fixed-wireless availability across a substantial portion of the ZIP. The network uses wireless capacity rather than a dedicated fiber or coaxial line to each home, so eligibility can change between nearby addresses.

  • Service is delivered over T-Mobile's wireless network.
  • Eligibility depends on address and available network capacity.
  • General mobile 5G coverage does not establish home-internet eligibility.
  • Wireless performance can differ materially from the fiber and cable options surrounding the property.
Local evidence: Current 77493 provider data estimate T-Mobile fixed-wireless availability at roughly 40% of the ZIP. That figure identifies a meaningful local network but does not establish eligibility for every household.

Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless Large reported footprint Address dependent

Verizon is another substantial fixed-wireless competitor in 77493. Current ZIP-level provider data report a large Verizon footprint, although wireless service availability can depend on local capacity and the specific service address.

  • Verizon uses a wireless network rather than a dedicated wired line to the home.
  • Eligibility can vary by location even where general Verizon 5G service exists.
  • Building materials and indoor signal conditions can affect practical performance.
  • Verizon should be checked separately from T-Mobile because their network capacity and eligibility are not interchangeable.
Evidence standard: Current ZIP-level records report Verizon fixed-wireless service across a substantial share of 77493. A live Verizon address check is required before treating the service as available at a specific property.

Rise Broadband

Fixed wireless Large reported footprint Location dependent

Rise Broadband is notable because current 77493 data identify a broad fixed-wireless footprint rather than a tiny rural-only presence. This gives some properties an additional alternative when the wired provider set is narrower than expected.

  • Current ZIP-level data estimate roughly 90% availability in one current dataset.
  • Wireless service does not require a neighborhood fiber or cable plant.
  • Actual performance and capacity depend on the local wireless network.
  • It should be evaluated separately from mobile 5G home products.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level provider records identify Rise Broadband as one of the more broadly available fixed-wireless networks in 77493.

Resound Networks

Fixed wireless Meaningful ZIP footprint Up to 1 Gbps reported

Resound Networks appears in current 77493 provider data with a meaningful fixed-wireless footprint. One current dataset estimates coverage at roughly 39% of the ZIP and reports speeds up to 1 Gbps. This makes Resound worth checking when a property does not have the expected fiber combination.

  • Resound is a fixed-wireless alternative rather than a cable or fiber provider.
  • Coverage is not uniform throughout 77493.
  • Address-level eligibility should be confirmed before comparing plans.
  • Wireless network capacity can affect which plans are offered.
Evidence standard: Resound is included because current ZIP-level data report a substantial portion of 77493 within its fixed-wireless footprint.

Hotwire Communications

Fiber Small reported footprint Building dependent

Hotwire Communications appears in current 77493 broadband records as a smaller fiber provider. Limited fiber footprints can be especially relevant in individual developments or multifamily properties where the provider has infrastructure that does not extend to surrounding streets.

  • Current ZIP-level records estimate a relatively small footprint.
  • Some datasets report multi-gigabit Hotwire fiber where available.
  • Small coverage should not be generalized to the entire ZIP.
  • Building-level verification is particularly important for multifamily properties.
Evidence standard: Hotwire is treated as a limited local possibility rather than a ZIP-wide provider because its reported footprint is much smaller than Fidium, Ezee Fiber, Xfinity or AT&T.

Astound Broadband

Fiber Small reported footprint Cable also reported

Astound Broadband appears in current 77493 records with a smaller fiber footprint and a limited cable footprint. It is therefore more useful as a property-specific possibility than as a provider that should be assumed throughout the ZIP.

  • Current ZIP-level records report fiber coverage in portions of 77493.
  • A smaller cable footprint is also reported.
  • Fiber and cable should not be treated as interchangeable technologies.
  • Exact-address verification is required before including Astound in a comparison.
Evidence standard: Astound is included because current ZIP-level data identify a real, although limited, footprint in 77493.

XNET WiFi

Fixed wireless Smaller local footprint Up to 2 Gbps reported

XNET WiFi is another fixed-wireless network appearing in current 77493 provider data. One current dataset estimates coverage across roughly one-third of the ZIP and reports speeds up to 2 Gbps.

  • Coverage is meaningful but not uniform throughout the ZIP.
  • Wireless capacity and address location affect eligibility.
  • The service should be compared separately from wired fiber and cable networks.
Evidence standard: XNET is included as a current fixed-wireless provider identified in 77493 datasets, not as a claim of universal ZIP availability.

Satellite providers

Satellite Broad geographic availability Different network model

Satellite service remains geographically available throughout 77493. It is less dependent on local street-level fiber or cable construction, although the practical comparison is different because latency, equipment, data policies and installation requirements can differ substantially from terrestrial broadband.

  • Satellite can remain available where terrestrial options are limited.
  • Latency is materially different from fiber and cable.
  • Equipment placement and sky visibility matter.
  • Satellite should not be used as evidence that wired providers are unavailable at a specific address.
Evidence standard: Satellite is included as a geographically broad technology category, not as a preferred provider recommendation.

77493 internet speed guide

The local market includes multi-gigabit fiber, high-capacity cable and several fixed-wireless networks. Advertised maximum speed therefore varies considerably by provider and property. Upload capacity is also important because the ZIP has substantial fiber competition.

100–300

Mbps

Suitable for ordinary browsing, video calls, streaming and moderate household use when the connection is stable.

500 Mbps

Mbps

Useful for households with several simultaneous users, multiple streaming devices and larger downloads.

1–2 Gbps

High-capacity plans

Commonly relevant in 77493 because Fidium, Xfinity and other networks report gigabit-class service in portions of the ZIP.

5–8 Gbps

Multi-gig fiber

Ezee Fiber, Hotwire and AT&T report multi-gigabit tiers in the broader 77493 market where their fiber networks reach the property.

Do not compare download speed alone. In 77493, a household may be choosing among multiple fiber networks, Xfinity cable and fixed wireless. Upload capacity, latency, network technology, equipment, installation and the actual tier offered at the address can matter more than the highest number shown in a ZIP-level provider table.

Connection types in 77493

77493 is different from a broadband market where one cable network dominates and fiber is confined to isolated streets. The ZIP contains overlapping fiber networks, extensive cable coverage and several fixed-wireless systems.

Fiber

Fidium and Ezee Fiber are major fiber networks in current 77493 datasets, while AT&T also specifically identifies Katy and 77493 with fiber service. Smaller Hotwire and Astound fiber footprints add additional property-specific possibilities.

Cable

Xfinity has one of the broadest wired footprints in the ZIP. Astound also appears in smaller cable records. Cable can provide high download speeds, but upload capacity can differ significantly from fiber.

5G / fixed wireless

T-Mobile and Verizon are joined by Rise Broadband, Resound Networks and XNET in the current fixed-wireless market. This gives some properties more alternatives than their wired provider list suggests.

Satellite

Satellite remains geographically available across the ZIP. It is independent of neighborhood fiber and cable construction but has different latency, equipment and plan characteristics.

What is different about broadband in 77493?

77493 covers a large and rapidly developing portion of northwest Katy. Its broadband market is shaped by a mix of established subdivisions, large master-planned communities and ongoing new construction. That development pattern helps explain why several fiber networks can appear in the same ZIP while individual addresses still have different choices.

1

77493 has unusually strong fiber competition

Current provider datasets identify Fidium Fiber and Ezee Fiber as major fiber networks, while AT&T specifically identifies Katy and ZIP 77493 with fiber service. Hotwire and Astound also appear with smaller fiber footprints. For residents, this means the first question is often not simply "fiber or cable," but which fiber network actually reaches the property.

2

Fidium and Ezee Fiber create direct competition in northwest Katy

Current ZIP-level records place both providers among the most significant fiber networks in 77493. A current provider dataset reports Fidium at about 80% and Ezee at 100%, although other datasets using different reporting vintages produce different percentages. The consistent finding is the presence of substantial overlapping fiber infrastructure.

3

Xfinity remains important even in heavily fibered areas

Xfinity's cable footprint remains broad across 77493. Current datasets estimate roughly 94%–96% cable availability. This gives many properties a wired alternative even where one or more fiber networks are also present. Some current records additionally show limited Xfinity fiber.

4

New construction changes the provider comparison

77493 contains active master-planned development rather than being a fully built-out suburban ZIP. Sunterra, for example, is an actively selling 2,303-acre master-planned community with new single-family construction, while Elyson and Cane Island also have active new-home inventory. New streets and phases can have different conduit, fiber and internal wiring from older nearby neighborhoods.

5

Sunterra illustrates why the exact development matters

Sunterra is in 77493 and continues to add homes and infrastructure. The community has multiple residential sections, new construction and large planned amenities. A home in an active new phase can have a different ISP set from an older property elsewhere in 77493 even when both addresses share the same ZIP code.

6

County and city boundaries do not define broadband service

Parts of the broader 77493 market extend beyond the incorporated City of Katy, and some master-planned communities cross local administrative boundaries. Broadband networks do not follow those boundaries precisely either. A Katy mailing address therefore should not be treated as proof of one uniform local ISP footprint.

7

Wireless competition is unusually relevant

T-Mobile, Verizon, Rise Broadband, Resound Networks and XNET all appear in current 77493 fixed-wireless data. This means a property with limited wired choices may still have several wireless options. Wireless eligibility, however, can be more sensitive to capacity and location than a simple ZIP-wide coverage percentage suggests.

77493 local broadband findings

These findings describe what the current evidence means for residents rather than simply listing provider names.

Finding Evidence What it means for a 77493 address
Fidium fiber Current ZIP-level data report a large Fidium fiber footprint Fidium should be checked as a primary fiber option rather than treated as a niche provider.
Ezee Fiber Current 77493 data identify a large Ezee fiber footprint and multi-gigabit service Some properties may have direct fiber competition with Fidium and AT&T.
AT&T Fiber AT&T specifically lists Katy and ZIP 77493 with fiber up to 5 GIG where available AT&T should be checked as a fiber provider, not only as a general legacy broadband provider.
Xfinity cable Current ZIP-level datasets report roughly 94%–96% cable coverage Xfinity remains one of the most broadly available wired alternatives in the ZIP.
Xfinity fiber Current datasets report a smaller Xfinity fiber footprint The Xfinity brand does not automatically indicate that a property receives cable rather than fiber.
Hotwire fiber Current ZIP-level data report a small Hotwire fiber footprint Some buildings or developments may have fiber choices that are absent from surrounding streets.
Astound fiber Current ZIP-level data report a smaller Astound fiber footprint Astound is worth checking for addresses inside its limited local network rather than assuming ZIP-wide availability.
T-Mobile Home Internet Current ZIP-level records report substantial fixed-wireless coverage 5G home internet is a meaningful alternative, but capacity and address eligibility must be checked.
Verizon 5G Home Current ZIP-level records report a substantial Verizon fixed-wireless footprint Verizon should be checked independently from T-Mobile because eligibility is network-specific.
New construction Sunterra, Elyson, Cane Island and other 77493 communities continue to add homes New phases can have different infrastructure and provider availability from older nearby properties.

Areas and development patterns inside 77493

These locations are useful reference points for understanding the geography and development pattern of the ZIP. They are not substitutes for an address-level broadband check.

Sunterra A large active master-planned community in 77493 with continuing single-family construction. New phases and multiple residential sections make property-level ISP verification particularly relevant.
Elyson A major northwest Katy master-planned community with continuing residential development. Different sections and construction dates can affect the network infrastructure available at individual homes.
Cane Island A large planned community in the 77493 market with both established and newer residential areas. Broadband infrastructure can differ between older sections and newer construction.
Ventana Lakes A residential development in the 77493 market that illustrates the importance of subdivision-level research when comparing fiber, cable and fixed-wireless options.
Lakecrest area A cluster of northern Katy residential communities inside the broader 77493 market. The local provider mix should be checked by address rather than inferred from another nearby subdivision.
Northwest Katy growth corridor 77493 contains substantial ongoing residential development. New roads, subdivisions and home phases can receive network infrastructure at different times, creating address-level differences inside the same ZIP.
Why this matters: 77493 is not a static, uniform suburban service area. The ZIP includes mature neighborhoods alongside large active master-planned developments. A provider footprint that is accurate for one subdivision may not describe another subdivision several miles away.

How to verify internet service at a 77493 address

The correct sequence is to use ZIP-level research to identify the relevant network choices, then verify the exact property with each provider before comparing plans.

1. Check the fiber networks first

  • Check Fidium Fiber at the exact address.
  • Check Ezee Fiber separately.
  • Check AT&T Fiber and the tier offered at the property.
  • Check Hotwire and Astound if the property is inside their smaller footprints.

2. Check Xfinity separately

  • Check whether Xfinity cable reaches the property.
  • Check whether the address is reported for Xfinity fiber.
  • Compare upload capacity rather than only advertised download speed.
  • Do not assume every Xfinity address in 77493 has the same tier.

3. Compare fixed wireless

  • Check T-Mobile Home Internet at the exact address.
  • Check Verizon 5G Home Internet separately.
  • Check Rise Broadband, Resound Networks and XNET where relevant.
  • Do not infer home eligibility from general mobile coverage.

4. Check the development and property type

  • Identify the subdivision or master-planned community.
  • For new construction, confirm whether the specific phase is already wired.
  • For apartments and condominiums, confirm building-level provider arrangements.
  • Do not assume a neighboring home has the same provider options.

5. Treat ZIP-level data as a research layer

FCC-derived datasets are useful for understanding which providers and technologies are reported in 77493. The FCC National Broadband Map can then be used to examine reported providers at a specific location. Provider address checkers remain the appropriate source for live ordering eligibility, current plans and current pricing.

6. Be careful with coverage percentages

Current 77493 datasets do not all report identical percentages. Differences can result from data vintage, methodology, technology classification and geographic treatment. The consistent conclusion is that 77493 has substantial fiber, broad Xfinity cable and multiple fixed-wireless networks. Individual percentages should not be treated as exact household counts.

What to compare before choosing a 77493 connection

The local network mix makes technology and property-level availability more important than simply choosing the provider with the largest advertised download number.

Fiber competition

Compare fiber networks directly

A 77493 address may have access to more than one fiber network. Compare upload capacity, latency, equipment, installation terms, pricing after promotional periods and the actual speed tier offered at the address.

Cable versus fiber

Check upload capacity

Xfinity can provide high download speeds across much of 77493, but upload capacity can differ from fiber. For remote work, cloud backups, large file transfers and other upload-heavy activity, the technology reaching the home can matter as much as the advertised download tier.

New construction

Check the exact phase

Active communities such as Sunterra and Elyson continue to add homes. A new phase may have different network infrastructure from an older section of the same development. Confirm service at the exact street address before relying on a subdivision-wide assumption.

Check the exact 77493 address

ZIP-level research identifies the local market. Provider address tools determine what can actually be ordered at the property.

Check Availability

Sources and methodology

This page gives greater weight to official provider information for provider-specific service-area claims and uses current FCC Broadband Data Collection-derived datasets as a secondary ZIP-level coverage layer.

Official provider and local sources

  • AT&T's current Katy internet information identifies Katy and advertises fiber service up to 5 Gbps where available.
  • AT&T's area information specifically lists Katy and ZIP codes including 77493 among locations associated with fiber service.
  • The Katy Area Economic Development Council lists Fidium Fiber at 1400 Avenue A, Katy, TX 77493, providing direct evidence of a Fidium presence in the ZIP.
  • Current provider availability tools are treated as the final source for live property-level service, technology, plan and pricing information.

FCC and ZIP-level broadband data

  • Current secondary ZIP-level datasets based on FCC Broadband Data Collection information were reviewed for 77493.
  • Current datasets identify major Fidium, Ezee Fiber and Xfinity footprints alongside AT&T and several fixed-wireless providers.
  • Current records also identify smaller Hotwire, Astound and other local footprints.
  • Coverage percentages are treated as dataset estimates rather than live guarantees for every household.
Research limitation: A ZIP code is a geographic mailing boundary, not a broadband service boundary. Provider coverage can differ by street, census block, development, building and serviceable address. FCC availability data are provider-reported and are not a substitute for a provider's live ordering system.

77493 internet provider FAQ

Answers are based on the current provider information and ZIP-specific broadband evidence reviewed for this guide.

What internet providers serve ZIP code 77493?
Current ZIP-level evidence identifies Fidium Fiber, Ezee Fiber, Xfinity and AT&T as major wired or fiber providers. T-Mobile, Verizon, Rise Broadband, Resound Networks and XNET provide fixed wireless alternatives, while smaller Hotwire Communications and Astound Broadband footprints are also reported. Satellite services are geographically available. The exact provider list for a property should be confirmed using provider address tools.
Is Fidium Fiber available in 77493?
Yes, current ZIP-level datasets identify Fidium Fiber as one of the largest fiber networks in 77493. One current dataset estimates about 80% availability, while an earlier FCC-derived dataset reported more than 90%. Because methodologies and data vintages differ, the live Fidium address checker should be used for an exact property.
Is Ezee Fiber available in 77493?
Current ZIP-level provider data identify Ezee Fiber as a major fiber network in 77493, with one current dataset reporting coverage across the ZIP and speeds up to 8 Gbps. This does not establish that every property can order every Ezee tier, so an address-level check remains necessary.
Does Xfinity serve 77493?
Yes. Current ZIP-level datasets report Xfinity cable across most of 77493, with estimates around 94%–96%. A smaller Xfinity fiber footprint is also reported. The exact network type, speed and upload capacity should be verified at the property.
Is AT&T Fiber available in 77493?
AT&T specifically identifies Katy and ZIP 77493 among its fiber service areas and advertises speeds up to 5 Gbps where available. This is direct provider evidence for the ZIP, but it does not mean every 77493 address is fiber-ready. AT&T's address checker should be used for exact eligibility.
Why does 77493 have so many fiber providers?
77493 contains extensive newer residential development and large master-planned communities in northwest Katy, including Sunterra, Elyson and Cane Island. Newer development can support multiple overlapping fiber builds, although the actual provider mix still varies by street, subdivision and construction phase.
Is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet available in 77493?
Current ZIP-level broadband data report substantial T-Mobile fixed-wireless coverage in 77493. Residential eligibility remains dependent on the exact address and current network capacity. General mobile 5G coverage should not be treated as proof that a home can order T-Mobile Home Internet.
Is Verizon 5G Home Internet available in 77493?
Current ZIP-level broadband datasets report a substantial Verizon fixed-wireless footprint in 77493. That identifies Verizon as a relevant local alternative, but the current Verizon address checker is required to determine live eligibility.
Can two nearby homes in 77493 have different providers?
Yes. Fiber networks, cable plant, subdivision infrastructure, multifamily wiring and wireless capacity can change over relatively short distances. New construction also means infrastructure can be installed at different stages within the same master-planned community.
Why are Sunterra and Elyson relevant to broadband research?
Both are large active residential developments in the 77493 market. New homes are being added while infrastructure is still evolving. That makes phase-level and address-level verification more important than assuming that every home in the ZIP has the same fiber and cable choices.
Does 77493 have cable and fiber competition?
Yes. Xfinity has a broad cable footprint, while Fidium, Ezee Fiber and AT&T provide substantial fiber competition in current records. Smaller fiber footprints from Hotwire and Astound are also reported. The exact combination depends on the property.
Is the fastest advertised speed necessarily the best connection?
Not necessarily. Download speed is only one measure. Upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, installation, pricing after promotional periods and the actual network technology at the address should also be considered.
Why does this page use ZIP-level data instead of claiming exact coverage?
ZIP-level datasets are useful for identifying the broadband market around 77493, but provider networks do not follow ZIP boundaries. The FCC National Broadband Map provides location-level information because service can differ from one building or address to another. Treating a ZIP-wide percentage as proof of service at every address would overstate what the data establish.
Availability disclaimer: Provider names, technologies, advertised speeds, pricing and availability can change. ZIP-level broadband information does not guarantee service at an individual address.
