Houston internet providers: who serves your address
Which kinds of internet reach a Houston address, how long install takes, and what to ask before you book.
When: About two weeks before move-in
How it works here
More than one company usually serves an address, but the list changes block by block. Fiber, cable and 5G home internet are the common kinds. Satellite is the fallback where nothing else reaches.
What to expect
- Most installs need an appointment. Openings can be a week or two out, and they fill up at the end of the month.
- If the last resident had the same company, you may get a kit to plug in yourself.
- Someone 18 or older usually has to be home for the install.
- Renting? Ask the leasing office first. Some buildings have one company wired in, or internet is part of rent.
Ask before you book
- What the price becomes after the first year.
- Whether the modem or router costs extra each month.
- Whether there is a contract, and the fee to leave early.
- Whether there is a data cap.
