San Antonio ZIP 78247

78247 Internet Providers

Q: What internet providers serve ZIP code 78247?

Current ZIP-level broadband data identifies Spectrum, Google Fiber, AT&T, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon fixed wireless, with smaller footprints reported for providers such as Hotwire Communications and GVTC. Satellite services are also geographically available. Exact eligibility depends on the service address.

Q: Is Google Fiber available in 78247?

Current FCC-derived ZIP-level data reports Google Fiber in 78247 with a large reported footprint. Google Fiber's official San Antonio information directs customers to its address checker, so a 78247 address should be verified directly rather than inferred from the ZIP percentage.

Q: Is AT&T Fiber available in 78247?

Current FCC-derived ZIP-level data reports AT&T Fiber in 78247 at about 45% of locations. AT&T's San Antonio service information says fiber is available in many neighborhoods and requires an address check. The ZIP figure is not proof of availability at every property.

Q: Does Spectrum serve 78247?

Current FCC-derived ZIP-level data reports Spectrum cable at nearly all 78247 locations, and a Spectrum location is documented at 1900 Blue Crest in 78247. Residential service and the technology available at a particular address should still be confirmed through Spectrum's address checker.

Broadband options in 78247 include fiber, cable and fixed wireless, with multiple networks reported across the ZIP. Current FCC-derived data shows a particularly broad fiber footprint alongside near-ZIP-wide cable and extensive 5G fixed-wireless coverage. This guide separates those ZIP-level findings from address-level provider verification.

What the 78247 broadband evidence shows

78247 has a wider mix of broadband technologies than a simple cable-versus-fiber comparison suggests. The September 2026 FCC-derived data reviewed for this guide reports Google Fiber at 93.05% of the ZIP, Spectrum cable at about 99.98%, AT&T fiber at 45.21%, T-Mobile fixed wireless at 98.28% and Verizon fixed wireless at 97.70%. Those figures describe reported coverage, not a live order result for every address.

Fiber

Fiber is unusually widespread in the ZIP

Current FCC-derived data reports Google Fiber at 93.05% of 78247 locations and AT&T Fiber at 45.21%. A separate fiber-data view reports total fiber availability across multiple providers at 94.83%. These figures make fiber a central part of the local market, but the exact network at a property still has to be verified.

Cable

Cable remains a near-ZIP-wide option

Current FCC-derived data reports Spectrum cable at about 99.98% of 78247 locations. Spectrum also has a documented location at 1900 Blue Crest in the ZIP. That combination is strong evidence of an established local cable network, while the address checker remains the right source for a specific home.

5G coverage is broad, but eligibility is still local

FCC-derived data reports T-Mobile fixed wireless at 98.28% and Verizon fixed wireless at 97.70% of 78247 locations. T-Mobile also has a local Home Internet-enabled location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr. Wireless coverage percentages should not be treated as guaranteed service because capacity, signal and building conditions can change the result at an address.

ZIP-level interpretation: The September 2026 FCC-derived figures reviewed here are based on Broadband Data Collection reporting and can change as providers update their filings. The FCC describes its map as location-based and directs users to search by address for provider, technology and speed information. A ZIP percentage should therefore be treated as a research layer rather than a live ordering result.

Internet providers serving the 78247 market

The provider list below uses current ZIP-level broadband evidence and direct local provider records. Where the evidence comes from FCC-derived data rather than a provider confirmation, that limitation is stated explicitly.

Google Fiber

Fiber 93.05% reported ZIP coverage Up to 8 Gbps

Google Fiber is the largest reported fiber footprint in the current 78247 data reviewed. The September 2026 FCC-derived dataset reports 93.05% availability in the ZIP, with reported maximum speeds up to 8 Gbps. Google Fiber's official Texas page currently lists San Antonio as a market and directs customers to its address checker; it does not establish that every 78247 address is orderable.

ZIP-level evidence indicates a substantial Google Fiber presence.
Current Google Fiber offerings can reach multi-gig speeds where the network is built.
The provider's address checker is the final test for a specific property.

Evidence: Current FCC-derived 78247 data reports 93.05% fiber availability for Google Fiber. Google Fiber's current Texas service page lists San Antonio and requires address verification.

AT&T Fiber

Fiber 45.21% reported ZIP coverage Up to 5 Gbps

AT&T Fiber is reported at 45.21% of 78247 locations in the current FCC-derived data reviewed. AT&T's official San Antonio page says fiber is available in many neighborhoods and advertises speeds up to 5 Gbps where available. The ZIP-level figure indicates a substantial but not universal fiber footprint.

Fiber is the relevant AT&T technology to check first at a 78247 address.
Reported maximum tiers range from 1 Gbps to 5 Gbps across the ZIP data.
AT&T requires an address check for the actual plan and speed.

Evidence: FCC-derived 78247 data reports 45.21% AT&T fiber coverage. AT&T's current San Antonio service page states that availability depends on the specific address.

Spectrum

Cable 99.98% reported ZIP coverage Fiber in selected locations

Spectrum is the most broadly reported wired network in 78247 in the current FCC-derived data. Cable coverage is reported at about 99.98% of the ZIP. A Spectrum location is also documented at 1900 Blue Crest, San Antonio, TX 78247. The combination provides direct evidence of an established local operation and a very broad cable footprint.

Cable is the principal Spectrum residential technology reported in the ZIP.
Selected Spectrum locations now use fiber, but fiber should not be assumed at a 78247 address.
Upload performance can differ materially from fiber even at similar download tiers.

Local evidence: Spectrum has a documented 78247 location at 1900 Blue Crest, while current FCC-derived data reports cable coverage at about 99.98% of the ZIP.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

5G fixed wireless 98.28% reported ZIP coverage Capacity-dependent

T-Mobile has unusually direct local evidence in 78247: its Thousand Oaks & Jones Maltsberger location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr lists T-Mobile Home Internet and an availability check. Current FCC-derived data reports T-Mobile fixed wireless at 98.28% of 78247 locations. T-Mobile's own service information still requires an address check.

Service uses T-Mobile's cellular network rather than a dedicated wired line.
Eligibility can depend on capacity, signal conditions and the service address.
Wireless performance can vary more with local network conditions than a wired fiber connection.

Local evidence: T-Mobile's official 78247 location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr lists Home Internet. The current ZIP-level FCC-derived figure is 98.28%.

Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless 97.70% reported ZIP coverage Address dependent

Verizon fixed wireless is reported at 97.70% of 78247 locations in the current FCC-derived data reviewed. That makes Verizon relevant to a ZIP-level comparison, but the coverage figure is not the same as a live Verizon Home Internet eligibility result. The address checker should be used before treating Verizon as an available option.

Wireless eligibility is determined by Verizon's current network and address data.
Indoor signal and building construction can affect practical performance.
Do not infer service from a neighboring property's Verizon eligibility.

Evidence standard: Verizon is included because current FCC-derived 78247 data reports a large fixed-wireless footprint. The page does not treat that percentage as a guarantee for every household.

Hotwire Communications

Fiber 5.65% reported ZIP coverage Limited footprint

Hotwire Communications appears in the current FCC-derived 78247 fiber data at about 5.65% coverage. That is enough to make it relevant for a property-level search, but not enough to describe it as a ZIP-wide residential option. Its presence may be tied to particular developments or buildings.

Treat Hotwire as a limited-footprint provider in this ZIP.
Do not use the ZIP percentage to assume service at nearby properties.
Verify the exact building before comparing Hotwire plans with the larger networks.

Evidence standard: Current FCC-derived data reports Hotwire fiber at approximately 5.65% of 78247 locations.

GVTC

Fixed wireless 1.62% reported ZIP coverage Very limited footprint

GVTC appears in the current 78247 fixed-wireless data at about 1.62% coverage. Because the footprint is small, it should be treated as a property-specific possibility rather than a standard ZIP-wide choice.

The reported footprint is much smaller than Spectrum, Google Fiber or the major 5G networks.
Address verification is essential before including GVTC in a provider comparison.
Smaller footprints can be easy to miss in broad citywide provider lists.

Evidence standard: Current FCC-derived fixed-wireless data reports GVTC at approximately 1.62% of 78247.

Satellite providers

Satellite Broad geographic option Different performance profile

Satellite services remain geographically relevant throughout 78247 because they do not depend on the same neighborhood fiber or cable plant as terrestrial providers. For most addresses in this ZIP, satellite is better understood as a distinct technology option rather than evidence of a gap in local wired competition.

Useful where terrestrial service is unavailable or unsuitable.
Latency is materially different from fiber and cable.
Plan terms, equipment and sky visibility should be checked directly.

Research note: Satellite availability is geographically broad, but it does not establish that a satellite plan is preferable to a wired or fixed-wireless option at a particular property.

78247 internet speed guide

The useful speed tier depends on household activity, but the network technology matters too. A 1 Gbps cable plan and a 1 Gbps fiber plan should not automatically be treated as equivalent because upload capacity, latency and local network architecture can differ.

100–300

Mbps

Suitable for ordinary browsing, video calls, streaming and smaller households when the connection is stable.

500 Mbps

Mbps

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

1–2 Gbps

High-capacity plans

More relevant for large households, substantial downloads or homes with many simultaneously active devices.

3–8 Gbps

Multi-gig fiber

Available only where the local fiber network and property support the relevant tier. Hardware can become the limiting factor.

Do not compare download speed alone. For 78247 homes choosing between fiber, cable and fixed wireless, upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, installation and address-level availability can be as important as the advertised download number.

Connection types in 78247

The ZIP has a broader technology mix than a simple "fiber versus cable" comparison suggests.

Fiber

AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber are the most important fiber networks to investigate. Fiber can provide high upload capacity and low latency, but the fiber plant must reach the individual property.

Cable

Spectrum is a major wired option in the 78247 market. Cable can provide high download speeds, but upload performance may differ substantially from fiber.

5G / fixed wireless

T-Mobile and Verizon provide alternatives that do not require a dedicated fiber or cable line to the home. Eligibility depends on wireless network conditions.

Satellite

Satellite remains a geographic fallback when wired or terrestrial fixed-wireless options are unsuitable. Latency and weather sensitivity make it materially different from fiber or cable.

What is different about broadband in 78247?

78247 covers a large part of northeast San Antonio around Thousand Oaks, Wetmore, Encino Park and the US-281/Loop 1604 side of the city. The area combines older single-family subdivisions, multifamily properties, commercial corridors and newer development. That mix matters because broadband networks are built to streets and buildings rather than to the ZIP boundary.

Google Fiber is reported across most of 78247

The current FCC-derived dataset reviewed for this guide reports Google Fiber at 93.05% of 78247 locations, with an 8 Gbps maximum reported in the ZIP. That is unusually broad fiber coverage for a ZIP-level market and means a 78247 resident should check fiber before assuming cable is the only high-capacity wired option. The figure remains a coverage report, not a live order result.

AT&T Fiber covers a substantial but smaller share

The same current FCC-derived dataset reports AT&T Fiber at 45.21% of 78247 locations, with reported maximum tiers reaching 5 Gbps. This creates meaningful overlap between AT&T and Google Fiber in parts of the ZIP, while leaving other properties with a different provider mix.

Spectrum's cable footprint is nearly ZIP-wide

Current FCC-derived data reports Spectrum cable at about 99.98% of 78247 locations. A Spectrum location is also documented at 1900 Blue Crest in the ZIP. For residents, this means the key local comparison is often not whether cable exists, but whether the specific address also has one or more competing fiber networks.

5G home internet is a meaningful second network layer

T-Mobile is reported at 98.28% and Verizon at 97.70% fixed-wireless coverage in the current ZIP-level data. T-Mobile also has a Home Internet-enabled location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr. Those figures show why 78247 is not simply a wired broadband market, but wireless eligibility remains address- and capacity-dependent.

Housing type can change the practical provider set

78247 includes established subdivisions such as Thousand Oaks and Encino Park, multifamily housing and commercial corridors around Wetmore and US-281. A fiber network reported in the ZIP may reach one street or building while a nearby apartment property has different wiring or a different service arrangement. The FCC map models broadband availability at individual location points for this reason.

78247 local broadband findings

These findings turn the current ZIP-level numbers into practical research questions for a property in the ZIP.

Finding	Evidence	What it means for a 78247 address
Google Fiber	93.05% reported fiber coverage in current FCC-derived ZIP data	Fiber should be checked before treating Spectrum cable as the only wired high-capacity option.
AT&T Fiber	45.21% reported fiber coverage, with up to 5 Gbps reported in the ZIP	Some properties can have a choice between multiple fiber networks, while others may not.
Spectrum	About 99.98% reported cable coverage plus a documented 78247 location at 1900 Blue Crest	Cable is the broadest reported wired network, making upload performance and competing fiber access important comparison points.
T-Mobile Home Internet	98.28% reported fixed-wireless coverage and a Home Internet-enabled location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr	5G is a serious local alternative, but eligibility can still change by address and capacity.
Verizon 5G	97.70% reported fixed-wireless coverage in the current ZIP-level data	Worth checking independently rather than assuming the ZIP percentage equals household eligibility.
Limited fiber providers	Hotwire reported at 5.65%; other smaller footprints are much lower	Smaller providers can matter for individual buildings even when they are not ZIP-wide networks.

Areas and development patterns inside 78247

Neighborhood names are useful for locating the ZIP, but they should not be treated as broadband coverage zones. The more useful local distinction is between established subdivisions, multifamily buildings and commercial/development corridors.

Thousand Oaks A large established residential area with many older ranch-style and two-story homes; provider availability can reflect infrastructure built in different subdivision phases.

Encino Park A major residential anchor of 78247. The neighborhood's subdivision layout means property-level network checks are more useful than ZIP-wide assumptions.

Wetmore / US-281 corridor A mix of commercial, multifamily and residential properties creates different building and wiring conditions within the same ZIP.

MacArthur / Woodstone area Established residential pockets toward the eastern side of the ZIP illustrate why network availability can change between subdivisions even when addresses are close.

Camelot and Sun Gate Neighborhood-level broadband datasets show that smaller provider footprints can occur inside 78247, reinforcing the need to check the individual location.

Comanche Lookout / eastern 78247 The eastern side of the ZIP contains established residential areas and varied terrain; wireless signal conditions and property infrastructure can affect fixed-wireless results.

Why this matters: 78247 is large enough to contain materially different provider footprints. Current ZIP-level data reports an average of about 8.8 providers available to a home, but the same dataset says individual locations can have between 3 and 12 providers. That spread is a useful reminder that ZIP-wide competition does not describe every property equally.

How to verify internet service at a 78247 address

The correct sequence is to use ZIP-level data to identify the likely provider market, then use the provider's own address checker for the property.

1. Check the wired networks first

Check Google Fiber for current service at the exact address.
Check AT&T for fiber availability and the specific tier.
Check Spectrum for cable or fiber service at the property.
Check limited-footprint providers only after confirming the building is inside their network.

2. Compare fixed wireless separately

Check T-Mobile Home Internet at the exact address.
Check Verizon 5G Home Internet independently.
Do not assume a strong ZIP-wide coverage percentage means every home qualifies.
Consider indoor signal, gateway placement and local network capacity.

3. Compare more than download speed

Record upload speed as well as download speed.
Compare latency and expected congestion characteristics.
Check equipment, installation, data policies and post-promotion pricing.
For work-from-home or large uploads, fiber's upload capacity can matter more than a headline download number.

4. Treat ZIP-level data as a research layer

The FCC map is location-based and reports provider-submitted availability.
Use the ZIP data to understand competition and technology mix.
Use provider address checkers to determine what can actually be ordered.
If the results conflict, investigate the specific location rather than averaging the sources together.

Check the exact 78247 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 current official provider information for service-area and address-verification claims, while using FCC-derived ZIP-level data as the main coverage research layer.

Official provider sources

AT&T's current San Antonio fiber page and address-availability tools, which state that fiber availability depends on the specific address and advertise speeds up to 5 Gbps where available.
Google Fiber's current Texas service information, which lists San Antonio as a market and directs customers to an address checker; the official page should be used to verify current build status at a 78247 property.
Spectrum's current San Antonio service information and the documented Spectrum location at 1900 Blue Crest, San Antonio, TX 78247.
T-Mobile's official Thousand Oaks & Jones Maltsberger location at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr, which lists T-Mobile Home Internet, plus T-Mobile's current address-based eligibility information.

ZIP-level broadband data

FCC Broadband Data Collection-derived 78247 provider and technology figures reviewed through a current secondary presentation updated September 3, 2026 and based on BDC data through December 31, 2025.
Current reported ZIP figures include Google Fiber 93.05%, Spectrum cable about 99.98%, AT&T fiber 45.21%, T-Mobile fixed wireless 98.28%, Verizon fixed wireless 97.70%, Hotwire fiber 5.65% and GVTC fixed wireless 1.62%.
The FCC explains that fixed broadband availability is reported at individual location points and that consumers can search by address for provider, technology and speed details.
ZIP-level percentages are treated as research outputs, not as live provider guarantees.

Research limitation: A ZIP code is a geographic mailing boundary, not a broadband service boundary. Provider coverage may differ by street, census block, building, apartment unit and serviceable address. This page intentionally avoids treating ZIP-wide percentages as proof that every household can order the same service.

78247 internet provider FAQ

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

What internet providers serve ZIP code 78247?

Current ZIP-level evidence identifies Google Fiber, AT&T, Spectrum, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon fixed wireless, with smaller reported footprints for Hotwire Communications and GVTC. Satellite services are also geographically available. The exact provider list for a property should be confirmed using each provider's address checker.

Is Google Fiber available in 78247?

Current FCC-derived data reports Google Fiber at 93.05% of 78247 locations. Because that is a ZIP-level coverage measure, it should not be treated as proof that every address can order GFiber. Google Fiber's current San Antonio information and address checker are the appropriate final verification.

Is AT&T Fiber available in 78247?

Current FCC-derived data reports AT&T Fiber at 45.21% of 78247 locations. AT&T's San Antonio page says fiber is available in many neighborhoods and requires an address check. The reported ZIP percentage indicates a substantial footprint, not universal coverage.

Does Spectrum serve 78247?

Yes, Spectrum has strong local evidence in 78247. Current FCC-derived data reports cable at about 99.98% of locations, and a Spectrum location is documented at 1900 Blue Crest in the ZIP. Residential service, technology and plan details should still be confirmed by address.

Is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet available in 78247?

T-Mobile has an authorized retailer at 2939 Thousand Oaks Dr that lists T-Mobile Home Internet, and current FCC-derived data reports 98.28% fixed-wireless coverage in the ZIP. Eligibility still depends on the specific address, network capacity and wireless conditions.

Can two nearby homes in 78247 have different internet providers?

Yes. Fiber and cable plant can stop at different properties, apartment buildings can have different wiring, and fixed-wireless eligibility can vary with capacity and signal conditions. The FCC's address-level map is designed to show service at individual locations rather than assuming a whole ZIP has one uniform network.

Is the fastest advertised speed necessarily the right connection?

Not necessarily. Download speed is only one measure. Upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, installation, pricing after promotions and the actual technology reaching the property can all affect the practical value of a plan.

Why does this page use ZIP-level data instead of claiming exact coverage?

ZIP-level data is useful for understanding the local broadband market, but provider networks do not follow ZIP boundaries. Treating a ZIP percentage as proof of service at every address would overstate what the data can 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.
