How we review internet in Dallas

Our methodology

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Dallas internet takeaways

Dallas residents have access to fiber, cable, 5G and satellite internet options. Cable and satellite have almost 100% serviceability across the city.

Fiber, on the other hand, has less availability, with the majority of the city 40% – 60% serviceable and pockets of heavier serviceability of 80% – 100% in certain areas such as Lakewood, University Park, Meaders and Oak Cliff.

Spectrum is the main non-satellite provider in Dallas, with 91% coverage, followed by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

Starlink and Viasat are available to 100% of Dallas, with Starlink offering faster speeds and lower latency than traditional satellite providers like Viasat.

Great service and reasonable price.

As with most satellites, the internet is down in bad weather. However, it is very slow and unreliable on good weather days as well. Customer service online had me waiting on the queue for about 15 minutes. When they got to me they gave me one minute to respond and closed the request. My issue was never resolved.

What speed do you need?

The internet speed you need depends on several factors, including the number of devices you consistently have connected to your network and the types of internet activities you engage in. Small households with one or two internet users can manage with speeds from 100 – 300 Mbps, while those with larger households of three or more users will be better suited with 300 Mbps and higher.

Gig and multi-gig speeds are ideal for heavy internet users and those who partake in bandwidth-heavy activities such as gaming, streaming, working from home and downloading large files.
