What the 78213 broadband evidence shows

78213 is not a simple cable-versus-fiber market. Current ZIP-level broadband data show overlapping fiber networks from AT&T and Google Fiber, extensive Spectrum cable coverage, a substantial Astound Broadband footprint, and fixed-wireless competition from T-Mobile and Verizon.

Fiber

Multiple major fiber networks are reported

Current ZIP-level data report AT&T Fiber across a large share of 78213 and Google Fiber across an even larger reported footprint. AT&T independently identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG, while Google Fiber's San Antonio service supports plans up to 8 Gbps where available.

Cable

Spectrum and Astound create wired competition

Spectrum is reported at approximately 99.9% cable availability in one current FCC-derived ZIP dataset, while Astound Broadband is reported at about 70.6% cable coverage. Astound also has a small reported fiber footprint, making the local wired market more varied than a single cable-provider comparison.

Wireless

5G and fixed wireless are meaningful alternatives

Current ZIP-level records report T-Mobile fixed wireless at about 99.4% and Verizon fixed wireless at about 93.6% in the dataset used for this guide. Those figures describe reported service footprints, not guaranteed residential eligibility, and wireless capacity can differ from one address to another.

78213 provider comparison

The table separates broad ZIP-level evidence from exact-address ordering information. Current FCC-derived data are useful for identifying the competitive market, but the FCC National Broadband Map and provider address tools operate at the location level because service can differ from one property to another.

Provider Technology 78213 evidence Advertised maximum Verify
AT&T Fiber
Major fiber footprint
Fiber; legacy DSL also reported Current ZIP-level data report AT&T fiber at approximately 91.9% of 78213, while AT&T's own service-area information specifically identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service. Up to 5 Gbps where available
Google Fiber
Large fiber footprint
Fiber A current FCC-derived ZIP dataset reports Google Fiber fiber availability at approximately 84.4% of 78213. The provider operates a San Antonio network with multi-gigabit service. Up to 8 Gbps where available
Spectrum

Astound Broadband
Major ZIP footprint
Cable; limited fiber Current ZIP-level records report about 70.6% Astound cable availability and a small approximately 0.5% fiber footprint. Astound is therefore a meaningful wired competitor in parts of 78213, but not a universal fiber provider. Up to 1.5 Gbps in cited ZIP data
T-Mobile Home Internet
Broad fixed-wireless evidence
5G fixed wireless Current ZIP-level records report approximately 99.4% fixed-wireless coverage for T-Mobile. T-Mobile also operates a store at 1439 Vance Jackson Road in 78213 that lists Home Internet. Up to 498 Mbps in cited ZIP data
Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless Current ZIP-level records report approximately 46.1% VTX1 fixed-wireless availability. The reported network is materially smaller than the T-Mobile and Verizon footprints and should be checked independently. Up to 50 Mbps in cited ZIP data Exact address and line-of-sight conditions
Satellite providers
Broad geographic option
Satellite Satellite services are geographically available throughout 78213 and do not depend on the same local cable or fiber plant as terrestrial providers. Provider and plan dependent Equipment, sky view, latency and plan terms
78213 interpretation: The strongest local finding is the amount of overlapping fiber. Current ZIP-level data report both AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber across large portions of the ZIP, while Spectrum and Astound provide substantial cable competition. Fixed wireless adds another layer of competition, particularly where a wired provider is unavailable or where a household wants an alternative connection.

Internet providers serving the 78213 market

Provider descriptions below distinguish networks with substantial reported ZIP-level footprints from smaller or property-specific networks. Coverage figures are treated as research indicators rather than promises of service at individual addresses.

AT&T Fiber

Fiber Balcones Heights / Castle Hills Up to 5 Gbps

AT&T has unusually direct evidence for 78213. Its current San Antonio area information identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills among communities associated with the ZIP and lists fiber service up to 5 GIG. A current ZIP-level dataset also reports AT&T fiber across approximately 91.9% of 78213.

  • AT&T's own service-area information specifically includes 78213 communities.
  • The reported fiber footprint is much more important locally than older AT&T DSL assumptions.
  • Legacy DSL is still reported in portions of the ZIP, so the AT&T brand does not by itself identify the technology.
Local evidence: AT&T identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG, and current ZIP-level data report approximately 91.9% fiber coverage. Exact serviceability remains address dependent.

Google Fiber

Fiber Large reported ZIP footprint Up to 8 Gbps

Google Fiber is one of the defining characteristics of the current 78213 broadband market. A current FCC-derived ZIP dataset reports Google Fiber at approximately 84.4% availability, with 8 Gbps symmetrical service reported in the ZIP. The exact service boundary still has to be checked at the property.

  • Google Fiber materially changes the wired competition in 78213 compared with a cable-only market.
  • The cited ZIP data report symmetrical multi-gigabit fiber service.
  • Google Fiber's San Antonio availability tool remains the appropriate final test.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level data report approximately 84.4% Google Fiber availability and up to 8 Gbps service. This is a ZIP-level coverage estimate, not a guarantee for every 78213 address.

Spectrum

Cable Very large ZIP footprint Limited fiber reported

Spectrum remains a major wired provider even in a ZIP with extensive fiber. Current ZIP-level records report approximately 99.9% Spectrum cable availability in 78213, along with a much smaller reported Spectrum fiber footprint.

  • Cable is the principal Spectrum technology reported in 78213.
  • A smaller Spectrum fiber footprint appears in current data.
  • The large cable footprint means Spectrum remains relevant even where fiber competition is strong.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level records report about 99.9% Spectrum cable coverage. The figure should be treated as a provider-reported dataset estimate, not proof that every individual building can order Spectrum.

Astound Broadband

Cable Approx. 70.6% reported cable Small fiber footprint

Astound Broadband creates a second major cable network across a substantial portion of 78213. Current ZIP-level data report about 70.6% cable availability and a smaller fiber footprint. That gives some properties a wired choice beyond the AT&T, Google Fiber and Spectrum comparison.

  • Astound cable is reported across a large portion of the ZIP.
  • A smaller Astound fiber footprint is also reported.
  • Astound's technology and upload characteristics should be checked at the address.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level records report approximately 70.6% Astound cable availability and about 0.5% fiber availability. These percentages identify the market footprint rather than individual serviceability.

T-Mobile Home Internet

5G fixed wireless Vance Jackson / 78213 Capacity dependent

T-Mobile is a significant fixed-wireless competitor in 78213. Current ZIP-level records report approximately 99.4% T-Mobile fixed-wireless coverage. T-Mobile also operates its Vance Jackson & La Manda store at 1439 Vance Jackson Road in ZIP 78213 and lists Home Internet as an available service.

  • T-Mobile's local store provides direct evidence of company presence inside the ZIP.
  • Home Internet uses a wireless network rather than dedicated fiber or cable plant.
  • Actual eligibility can depend on network capacity and the specific service address.
Local evidence: T-Mobile's official 78213 store is at 1439 Vance Jackson Rd and lists T-Mobile Home Internet. Current ZIP-level data report a very broad fixed-wireless footprint, but address eligibility remains the final test.

Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless Approx. 93.6% reported coverage Address dependent

Verizon is another substantial wireless competitor in the ZIP. Current ZIP-level records report approximately 93.6% fixed-wireless availability and maximum speeds reaching 1 Gbps in the cited dataset. This makes Verizon worth checking alongside T-Mobile rather than treating fixed wireless as a single interchangeable category.

  • Verizon's reported footprint is large enough to be a meaningful local alternative.
  • Wireless service does not follow the same property boundaries as cable and fiber.
  • Network capacity, signal and building construction can affect the final result.
Evidence standard: Verizon is included because current ZIP-level broadband records identify a substantial fixed-wireless footprint in 78213. The reported coverage is not treated as an address-level ordering guarantee.

Hotwire Communications

Fiber Approx. 5.8% reported footprint Building dependent

Hotwire Communications appears as a small but unusually fast fiber network in current 78213 data. The reported footprint is approximately 5.8%, with some locations showing multi-gigabit symmetrical service. A footprint this small is more likely to matter to particular buildings or developments than to the ZIP as a whole.

  • Hotwire is a genuine local fiber possibility but not a ZIP-wide provider.
  • Reported maximum speeds reach 8 Gbps in some covered locations.
  • Multifamily and development-specific infrastructure should be checked directly.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level data report about 5.8% Hotwire fiber coverage in 78213, with reported maximum speeds up to 8 Gbps in covered locations.

VTX1 Companies

Fixed wireless Approx. 46.1% reported footprint Regional network

VTX1 provides another layer of fixed-wireless competition in 78213. Current ZIP-level records report approximately 46.1% availability. Its reported maximum speed is materially below the multi-gigabit fiber networks, but the network can still be relevant at properties where the major wired options are unavailable or unsuitable.

  • VTX1 is a meaningful regional fixed-wireless provider in the dataset.
  • Reported coverage is much smaller than T-Mobile and Verizon.
  • Address-level eligibility and wireless conditions should be checked before comparison.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level records report approximately 46.1% VTX1 fixed-wireless availability, with maximum speeds around 50 Mbps in the cited dataset.

78213 internet speed guide

The advertised speed range in 78213 is unusually broad because the ZIP contains several competing fiber networks, two substantial cable networks, and multiple fixed-wireless systems. Technology and upload capacity are therefore important parts of the comparison.

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

Relevant for larger households and heavy transfers where the property has access to a qualifying fiber or cable tier.

5–8 Gbps

Multi-gig fiber

Current 78213 data report AT&T up to 5 Gbps and Google Fiber up to 8 Gbps where available. These are property-specific tiers rather than ZIP-wide guarantees.

Do not compare download speed alone. A 78213 household may be able to compare fiber from AT&T or Google Fiber against Spectrum or Astound cable and against fixed wireless from T-Mobile or Verizon. Upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, installation and the technology actually reaching the property can materially change the practical comparison.

Connection types in 78213

The local market includes several distinct network models. Their footprints overlap, but they do not provide the same upload performance, latency characteristics or property-level availability.

Fiber

AT&T and Google Fiber have large reported fiber footprints in 78213, while Astound and Hotwire also appear in smaller fiber footprints. Current data make fiber the defining competitive feature of the ZIP rather than a limited premium option.

Cable

Spectrum has a very large reported cable footprint, while Astound provides cable coverage across a substantial portion of the ZIP. This gives some addresses multiple wired choices even before considering fiber.

5G / fixed wireless

T-Mobile and Verizon have large reported fixed-wireless footprints, with VTX1 providing another regional option. Wireless eligibility can differ from one property to another because capacity and signal conditions are location dependent.

DSL / legacy networks

Older AT&T DSL service is still represented in current ZIP-level datasets, although fiber is the more important AT&T technology in 78213. This is why the AT&T brand should not be used as a shortcut for identifying the actual connection type.

What is different about broadband in 78213?

ZIP 78213 occupies a north-central San Antonio area that crosses or borders several distinct communities and residential patterns. Castle Hills and Balcones Heights are particularly important to the broadband analysis because AT&T specifically identifies both communities with fiber service, while the ZIP also contains established San Antonio neighborhoods such as Dellview, Greater Harmony Hills, Shearer Hills and Churchill Heights.

1

78213 has unusually strong fiber competition

Current ZIP-level data report approximately 91.9% AT&T fiber availability and 84.4% Google Fiber availability. Those figures should not be interpreted as every-address guarantees, but they establish that fiber is a major part of the local broadband market. AT&T separately identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG.

2

Spectrum remains a nearly ZIP-wide cable competitor

Current ZIP-level data report approximately 99.9% Spectrum cable availability. That is significant because fiber expansion has not eliminated the existing cable network. At an address where fiber is unavailable, Spectrum may remain one of the principal wired choices.

3

Astound adds a second substantial cable network

Astound Broadband is reported at approximately 70.6% cable coverage in the current ZIP-level dataset. This means portions of 78213 can have competing cable networks in addition to fiber, creating a more complex provider comparison than a one-cable-provider market.

4

Vance Jackson provides direct evidence of T-Mobile Home Internet

T-Mobile's Vance Jackson & La Manda store is located at 1439 Vance Jackson Road in ZIP 78213 and lists T-Mobile Home Internet. This establishes a direct T-Mobile Home Internet presence inside the ZIP, while the ZIP-level dataset separately reports a very broad fixed-wireless footprint.

5

Neighborhood boundaries do not predict the provider list

Dellview, Greater Harmony Hills, Shearer Hills and Churchill Heights contain established residential streets, while other portions of the ZIP include apartments, townhomes and newer development around Castle Hills. Network construction and building wiring can differ across these property types even when addresses share the same ZIP.

6

Castle Hills creates a distinct municipal component inside 78213

Castle Hills uses 78213 as one of its ZIP codes alongside 78216. AT&T specifically lists Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG. This matters because ZIP 78213 is not limited to one municipal network context; broadband research should not assume every part of the ZIP has identical infrastructure.

78213 local broadband findings

These findings describe what the current evidence means for residents rather than simply repeating the provider list.

Finding Evidence What it means for a 78213 address
AT&T Fiber AT&T identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber up to 5 GIG; ZIP-level data report about 91.9% fiber coverage AT&T should be checked as a major fiber provider rather than treated only as a legacy DSL company.
Google Fiber Current ZIP-level data report about 84.4% fiber availability and up to 8 Gbps Many 78213 properties may have a second major fiber network to compare with AT&T, but exact address verification remains necessary.
Spectrum cable Current ZIP-level data report approximately 99.9% cable availability Spectrum remains a major wired competitor even in portions of the ZIP with extensive fiber.
Astound cable Current data report about 70.6% cable availability Some properties can compare Astound against Spectrum and one or more fiber providers.
Astound fiber Current data identify a smaller approximately 0.5% fiber footprint The Astound brand should not automatically be assumed to mean cable at every covered property.
T-Mobile Home Internet Official 78213 store lists Home Internet; ZIP-level data report about 99.4% fixed-wireless coverage 5G Home Internet is a significant local alternative, but live capacity and address eligibility still control service.
Verizon fixed wireless Current ZIP-level data report approximately 93.6% availability Verizon should be checked independently rather than assuming T-Mobile and Verizon have identical eligibility.
Hotwire fiber Current ZIP-level data report approximately 5.8% coverage Some buildings or developments may have a specialized fiber option that is absent from nearby streets.
VTX1 fixed wireless Current ZIP-level data report approximately 46.1% availability VTX1 adds a regional wireless alternative, particularly relevant where wired options differ by property.

Areas and development patterns inside 78213

These locations are useful reference points for understanding why provider availability can differ within the ZIP. They are not substitutes for an address-level broadband check.

Castle Hills An incorporated community using ZIP 78213 and 78216. AT&T specifically identifies Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG, making it a particularly important part of the ZIP's fiber analysis.
Balcones Heights Balcones Heights uses 78213 alongside 78201. AT&T's current service-area information lists the community with fiber service up to 5 GIG, reinforcing that the ZIP contains multiple municipal broadband contexts.
Dellview An established north-central San Antonio neighborhood within the 78213 area. Its mix of older single-family streets and nearby multifamily housing makes property-level verification more useful than assuming one neighborhood-wide provider list.
Greater Harmony Hills A residential area in the 78213 market with a mix of established housing and denser residential properties. Wired infrastructure should be checked at the property because neighboring homes can have different service combinations.
Shearer Hills / Churchill Heights Established north-central residential areas where mature housing and existing utility infrastructure can differ from newer developments. The ZIP-level provider list should not be treated as proof that every street has identical fiber or cable choices.
Vance Jackson / Blanco corridors Major local corridors help explain the mixture of residential, multifamily and commercial properties in 78213. T-Mobile's Vance Jackson & La Manda store provides direct evidence of Home Internet presence inside the ZIP.
Why this matters: 78213 is not a uniform residential grid. It includes portions of Castle Hills and Balcones Heights as well as established San Antonio neighborhoods and multifamily properties. Provider networks, building wiring and municipal boundaries can therefore produce different service results within the same ZIP code.

Neighboring ZIP codes can have different network footprints. Use them as separate research areas rather than transferring 78213 availability assumptions across ZIP boundaries.

How to verify internet service at a 78213 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 AT&T for fiber availability.
  • Check Google Fiber for fiber service and current multi-gig tiers.
  • Check Astound for cable and any fiber service reported at the address.
  • Check Hotwire where the property may fall inside its smaller footprint.

2. Compare the cable networks

  • Check Spectrum at the exact service address.
  • Check Astound separately rather than assuming cable coverage overlaps everywhere.
  • Compare upload capacity as well as download speed.
  • Check equipment, installation and current plan terms.

3. Check fixed wireless separately

  • Check T-Mobile 5G Home Internet at the exact service address.
  • Check Verizon 5G Home Internet independently.
  • Check VTX1 if the property is inside its reported footprint.
  • Do not infer residential eligibility from general mobile coverage alone.

4. Treat ZIP-level data as a research layer

Current FCC-derived data are useful for understanding the provider and technology mix in 78213. The FCC National Broadband Map can then be used to examine reported providers at an individual location. Provider address checkers remain the appropriate source for live ordering eligibility, current plans and current pricing.

What to compare before choosing a 78213 connection

The unusually competitive local market makes technology and property-level availability more important than simply selecting the provider with the largest advertised download number.

Fiber competition

Check both major fiber networks

Where both AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber reach the same property, the comparison should include upload capacity, equipment, pricing, installation and service terms rather than assuming the highest advertised tier is automatically the better fit.

Cable competition

Check whether Spectrum and Astound both reach the property

Current 78213 records show substantial footprints for both providers. A household may therefore have more than one cable network to compare, although ZIP-level overlap does not prove both networks serve every address.

Wireless alternatives

Check capacity and signal, not just coverage

T-Mobile and Verizon have broad reported fixed-wireless footprints in 78213. Wireless service can still vary by property because capacity, signal conditions, building materials and network configuration affect the actual residential experience.

Check the exact 78213 address

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

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 ZIP-level datasets as a secondary coverage layer.

Official provider sources

  • AT&T's current San Antonio and 210/726 area-code service information, including its identification of Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG.
  • AT&T's address-level internet availability tool for determining the actual technology and plans offered at a property.
  • Google Fiber's San Antonio information and support materials, including current 1–8 Gig fiber product information.
  • T-Mobile's official Vance Jackson & La Manda store page at 1439 Vance Jackson Rd, San Antonio, TX 78213, which lists T-Mobile Home Internet.
  • Current provider availability tools for Spectrum, Astound, Verizon and other providers are treated as the final source for property-level ordering eligibility.

FCC and ZIP-level broadband data

  • FCC Broadband Data Collection information was used as the underlying framework for ZIP-level provider and technology research.
  • A current 78213 broadband dataset updated in August 2026 reflects the FCC Broadband Data Collection update based on availability reported through June 30, 2025.
  • The current ZIP-level evidence identifies major fiber footprints from AT&T and Google Fiber, substantial Spectrum and Astound cable networks, and fixed-wireless footprints from T-Mobile, Verizon and VTX1.
  • Hotwire is treated as a limited fiber footprint rather than a ZIP-wide provider.
  • Coverage percentages are treated as dataset estimates rather than live guarantees for individual households.
Research limitation: A ZIP code is a geographic mailing boundary, not a broadband service boundary. Provider coverage can differ by street, census block, building, apartment unit and serviceable address. FCC availability information is provider-reported and is not a substitute for a provider's live ordering system.

78213 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 78213?
Current ZIP-level evidence identifies Spectrum, AT&T, Google Fiber, Astound Broadband, T-Mobile Home Internet, Verizon and VTX1 among the significant providers reported in 78213. Hotwire Communications also has a smaller reported fiber footprint. Satellite services are geographically available as alternatives. The exact provider list for a property should be confirmed using provider address tools.
Is AT&T Fiber available in 78213?
Yes. AT&T's current San Antonio-area information specifically identifies Balcones Heights and Castle Hills with fiber service up to 5 GIG, and both communities use ZIP 78213 among their ZIP codes. Current ZIP-level data also report a large AT&T fiber footprint. The exact address still needs to be checked because ZIP-level coverage does not establish serviceability at every property.
Is Google Fiber available in 78213?
Current ZIP-level broadband data report Google Fiber at approximately 84.4% availability in 78213 and identify service up to 8 Gbps. This makes Google Fiber an important part of the local market, but the provider's address checker should be used to determine whether a specific home or building is serviceable.
Does Spectrum serve 78213?
Yes. Current ZIP-level broadband records report approximately 99.9% Spectrum cable availability in 78213 and a much smaller Spectrum fiber footprint. The actual technology and plan available at a specific property should be confirmed directly with Spectrum.
Does Astound Broadband serve 78213?
Yes. Current ZIP-level records report approximately 70.6% Astound cable availability and a smaller fiber footprint. The exact property should be checked because provider footprints do not follow ZIP boundaries uniformly.
Is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet available in 78213?
T-Mobile operates the Vance Jackson & La Manda store at 1439 Vance Jackson Rd in ZIP 78213, and the official store page lists T-Mobile Home Internet. Current ZIP-level data also report approximately 99.4% T-Mobile fixed-wireless coverage. Residential eligibility remains dependent on the exact address and network capacity.
Is Verizon 5G Home Internet available in 78213?
Current ZIP-level broadband data report approximately 93.6% Verizon fixed-wireless availability in 78213. That makes Verizon a relevant local alternative, but the reported ZIP footprint does not establish live eligibility at every address. Verizon's current address checker should be used before ordering.
Can two nearby homes in 78213 have different providers?
Yes. Fiber and cable networks can follow different infrastructure boundaries, while apartment buildings and other multifamily properties can have building-specific wiring or provider arrangements. Fixed-wireless eligibility can also differ because of capacity and signal conditions.
Why does this page include both Spectrum and Astound?
Current ZIP-level broadband data report substantial footprints for both providers in 78213. Their coverage overlaps in portions of the ZIP but does not establish that both networks reach every individual address. Each provider should therefore be checked separately.
Why does 78213 have so many fiber providers?
The current data show that 78213 is part of a mature north-central San Antonio broadband market with overlapping fiber construction rather than a single newly introduced fiber network. AT&T and Google Fiber have large reported footprints, while Astound and Hotwire appear in smaller fiber footprints. This produces more fiber competition than many ZIP codes where cable remains the dominant wired technology.
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 78213, 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. Apartment buildings, subdivisions and individual properties may have different network infrastructure. Always confirm service, technology, speed, equipment requirements and current pricing directly with the provider before ordering.
