Austin ZIP 78704

78704 Internet Providers

Q: What internet providers serve ZIP code 78704?

Current ZIP-level broadband records identify AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, Spectrum, Astound Broadband, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon fixed wireless among the principal wired and terrestrial wireless options reported in 78704. Satellite services are also geographically available. Exact eligibility depends on the service address.

Q: Is Google Fiber available in 78704?

Google Fiber has a current Austin operation at 3601 South Congress Avenue in ZIP 78704 and identifies South Austin as part of its Austin network area. Current secondary ZIP-level datasets also report significant GFiber availability in 78704. Residential eligibility must still be confirmed by address.

Q: Is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet available in 78704?

T-Mobile operates a location at 500 E Ben White Blvd in Austin ZIP 78704 that lists T-Mobile Home Internet and provides an availability check. T-Mobile Home Internet is fixed wireless, so residential eligibility depends on the service address, network capacity and wireless conditions.

Q: Does Astound Broadband serve 78704?

Secondary FCC-derived datasets report a smaller Astound Broadband footprint in 78704, including fiber and cable records. Because the footprint is substantially smaller than the major networks, Astound is best treated as a property-specific option that requires an address check.

Q: Why can two homes in 78704 have different internet options?

78704 contains older residential streets, multifamily buildings, commercial corridors and redeveloped properties. Fiber and cable plant can follow different streets and property boundaries, while apartment wiring and fixed-wireless capacity can further change which providers are actually orderable at a specific address.

78704 has an unusually dense mix of broadband infrastructure for a central Austin ZIP. Current evidence points to AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, Spectrum, Astound Broadband and fixed-wireless services from T-Mobile and Verizon, with satellite available separately. The important distinction is that these networks do not cover every street or building in the same way.

● 78704 includes established neighborhoods, multifamily properties, commercial corridors and redevelopment areas. Provider availability therefore needs to be checked at the actual service address.

What the 78704 broadband evidence shows

78704 is not simply an Austin ZIP with one dominant broadband network. Current secondary FCC-derived datasets show substantial fiber availability, an established cable network, smaller competing fiber/cable footprints and broad fixed-wireless reporting. The strongest local evidence comes from combining those datasets with current provider information.

Fiber

AT&T and Google Fiber both matter

Current secondary FCC-derived data reports AT&T Fiber across a large share of 78704 and GFiber across another substantial portion. Google Fiber's own Austin page lists 3601 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, as its local address and identifies South Austin among its Austin service areas. This makes fiber-to-fiber comparison particularly relevant in this ZIP.

Cable

Spectrum remains a separate wired option

Spectrum identifies Austin as a residential service area and operates a store at 9600 S IH 35 in ZIP 78748 immediately south of 78704. Secondary ZIP-level datasets report Spectrum in 78704 as well, but coverage figures vary considerably by source. The provider's current address checker is therefore more useful than a ZIP-wide percentage.

Fixed wireless fills a different role

T-Mobile has a Home Internet-enabled location at 500 E Ben White Blvd in 78704, while current secondary datasets also report T-Mobile and Verizon fixed wireless across substantial portions of the ZIP. Wireless eligibility is capacity- and address-dependent, so it should be checked independently from the wired networks.

78704 provider comparison

The table distinguishes direct local evidence from secondary ZIP-level coverage records. Coverage percentages from different datasets should not be mixed as if they were measurements of the same underlying geography or reporting date.

Provider	Technology	78704 evidence	Advertised maximum	What to verify
AT&T Fiber Major fiber footprint	Fiber	Current FCC-derived secondary data reports substantial AT&T fiber coverage in 78704. AT&T also confirms home internet and fiber service in Austin.	Up to 5 Gbps where available	Exact address, fiber tier, installation requirements
Google Fiber Local 78704 presence	Fiber	Google Fiber's current Austin information lists 3601 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, and identifies South Austin among its Austin network areas. Secondary ZIP-level datasets also report substantial GFiber availability.	Up to 8 Gbps in current Austin offerings	Exact address and current service eligibility
Spectrum Austin wired network	Cable; fiber-powered network	Spectrum lists Austin as a service area and operates a store at 9600 S IH 35 in neighboring ZIP 78748. Secondary ZIP datasets report Spectrum in 78704, although the reported share differs between datasets.	Up to 2 Gbps in select markets	Address, technology, upload speed and current plan
Astound Broadband Smaller local footprint	Fiber / cable	Current secondary FCC-derived datasets report Astound in 78704, including a smaller fiber and cable footprint than AT&T or the larger Austin wired networks.	Up to 1.5–2 Gbps where offered	Exact property and network technology
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Local 78704 location	5G fixed wireless	T-Mobile operates a location at 500 E Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, and its current store page lists T-Mobile Home Internet with an availability check. Secondary ZIP data also reports broad fixed-wireless availability.	Plan-dependent; wireless speeds vary	Address eligibility, capacity and signal conditions
Verizon 5G Home Internet Fixed-wireless evidence	5G fixed wireless	Current secondary broadband datasets report Verizon fixed-wireless service in 78704, although reported coverage varies by dataset and reporting vintage.	Plan and location dependent	Exact address and current 5G Home eligibility
Satellite providers Broad geographic option	Satellite	Satellite services remain geographically available independently of the local fiber and cable plant. They are generally more relevant where a property cannot obtain a suitable terrestrial connection.	Provider and plan dependent	Clear sky view, latency, equipment and plan terms

Coverage-data caution: A recent secondary 78704 dataset based on FCC Broadband Data Collection records reports substantial AT&T Fiber coverage, while another source reports different ZIP-wide percentages for Spectrum, Google Fiber and fixed wireless. Those differences are a reason to avoid presenting one percentage as the definitive 78704 coverage figure. The FCC National Broadband Map and provider address checkers operate at a more useful location level for an individual property.

Internet providers serving the 78704 market

78704 has more than one meaningful wired network. That matters because a resident may be comparing two fiber systems, fiber against cable, or a wired connection against a fixed-wireless service rather than choosing between one wired provider and satellite.

AT&T Fiber

Fiber Major 78704 footprint Up to 5 Gbps

AT&T is one of the most substantial fiber networks reported in current 78704 secondary broadband data. A recent FCC-derived dataset reports AT&T Fiber at roughly 82.9% of the ZIP, although that figure is a dataset output rather than a guarantee for every address. AT&T's own Austin page confirms that fiber is offered in the city and directs customers to an address check for available plans.

Fiber service can provide substantially higher upload capacity than traditional cable.
Current AT&T residential fiber tiers can reach 5 Gbps where available.
Older properties may have different service options from nearby redeveloped properties.
AT&T's address checker determines the actual technology and plan.

78704 evidence: Recent FCC-derived secondary data identifies AT&T Fiber as a major 78704 network. AT&T separately confirms Austin fiber service and requires address-level verification.

Google Fiber

Fiber South Austin network Up to 8 Gbps

Google Fiber has unusually direct local evidence in 78704. Its current Austin service page identifies South Austin as part of the company's Austin service area, while Google Fiber's current site lists its Austin address at 3601 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704. Current secondary ZIP-level data also reports substantial GFiber availability in the ZIP.

Google Fiber's Austin service is fiber-to-the-home.
Current Austin offerings include 1 Gig, 3 Gig and multi-gig service.
Google Fiber reports speeds up to 8 Gbps symmetrical on its Edge 8 Gig offering where available.
The provider's address checker remains necessary for a specific home or apartment.

78704 evidence: Google Fiber's current Austin page lists 3601 South Congress Avenue in ZIP 78704 and identifies South Austin among its local service areas. This is direct provider evidence of a 78704 operational presence, not merely an Austin-wide claim.

Spectrum

Cable Austin service area Up to 2 Gbps in select markets

Spectrum is an established Austin wired network and should remain in the 78704 comparison even though its currently published Austin store locations do not place a store inside 78704. Spectrum lists Austin as a service area and operates a Southpark Meadows store at 9600 S IH 35 in neighboring 78748. Current secondary datasets also report Spectrum in 78704, but the reported ZIP-level share differs substantially between sources.

Spectrum describes its Austin residential network as fiber-powered with coaxial connections to premises.
Current Spectrum offerings can reach 2 Gbps in select markets.
Upload performance can differ substantially from fiber alternatives.
Spectrum's address checker determines the actual plan and technology.

Local evidence: Spectrum's official Austin page lists 9600 S IH 35 Building I in neighboring 78748 and confirms Austin residential internet service. Secondary 78704 datasets independently report Spectrum coverage inside the ZIP.

Astound Broadband

Fiber / cable Smaller 78704 footprint Verify address

Astound is a meaningful secondary network in 78704 rather than simply a generic Austin provider. Recent FCC-derived secondary data reports approximately one-quarter of the ZIP with some Astound service, with fiber and cable records both represented. Another current dataset reports a smaller share, illustrating why the exact percentage should not be treated as a fixed property-level fact.

Astound's reported footprint is smaller than the largest 78704 fiber networks.
Both fiber and cable records appear in current secondary datasets.
Network technology can differ by property.
An address check is necessary before treating Astound as an available option.

Evidence standard: Astound is included because current FCC-derived secondary datasets report a real 78704 footprint. The page does not convert those estimates into a claim that Astound serves every neighborhood or building in the ZIP.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

5G fixed wireless Local 78704 location Capacity-dependent

T-Mobile has direct physical evidence inside 78704 through its location at 500 E Ben White Blvd, where the current store page specifically lists T-Mobile Home Internet. That establishes local operational presence but does not mean the store's location or a nearby cell site makes every 78704 address eligible.

Home Internet uses T-Mobile's cellular network rather than a dedicated wired line.
Eligibility can depend on local network capacity and the service address.
Wireless performance can vary with signal, building materials and network activity.
A nearby qualifying address does not establish eligibility for another property.

78704 evidence: T-Mobile's official store page lists 500 E Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, and identifies T-Mobile Home Internet as an available in-store service with an address availability check.

Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless Secondary ZIP evidence Address dependent

Verizon is relevant to 78704 because current secondary broadband datasets report fixed-wireless service across the ZIP. The reported coverage is not consistent across all available sources, however, and some datasets use older FCC reporting vintages. Verizon's own current availability page explains that 5G Home service and speeds vary by location.

Verizon 5G Home Internet is delivered through a cellular network.
Coverage and speed depend on location and network conditions.
Older ZIP-level datasets should not override a current provider address result.
Check Verizon separately rather than assuming wireless eligibility from another carrier.

Evidence standard: Verizon is included because current secondary datasets report fixed-wireless service in 78704. The provider's address checker is treated as the final test because ZIP-level wireless estimates can differ by reporting date and methodology.

78704 internet speed guide

78704 has enough fiber competition that download speed alone can hide important differences between plans. For residents comparing AT&T, Google Fiber, Spectrum, Astound or fixed wireless, upload capacity, latency, connection type and building infrastructure deserve separate attention.

100–300

Mbps

A practical range for lighter household use, video calls, browsing and ordinary streaming when the connection remains stable.

500 Mbps

Mbps

Useful for households with several active users, multiple streaming devices, frequent downloads and heavier cloud use.

1–2 Gbps

High-capacity plans

More relevant to larger households, substantial downloads, local network transfers or multiple high-bandwidth activities at once.

3–8 Gbps

Multi-gig fiber

Available only where the address has the necessary fiber network and equipment. Multi-gig service can exceed the practical capacity of ordinary Wi-Fi and client hardware.

78704-specific comparison issue: The ZIP contains multiple fiber networks, so a 1 Gbps fiber plan should not automatically be treated as equivalent to a 1 Gbps cable plan. Upload capacity, latency, network architecture and the wiring inside an older home or multifamily building can materially change the result.

Connection types in 78704

The local technology mix is unusually important here because established central Austin neighborhoods and redevelopment sites can sit close to one another while having different building-level infrastructure.

Fiber

AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber are the two major fiber networks to investigate first. Current secondary data reports substantial coverage for both, while Google Fiber has direct operational evidence at its South Congress address in 78704.

Cable

Spectrum remains a major Austin wired provider and secondary datasets report Spectrum service in 78704. Cable availability should be checked independently because current ZIP-level datasets do not agree on the precise share of the ZIP covered.

5G / fixed wireless

T-Mobile and Verizon provide alternatives that do not require a dedicated fiber or cable line to the building. T-Mobile has a current Home Internet-enabled location inside 78704, but eligibility is determined by the service address and network conditions.

Satellite

Satellite services remain geographically available in 78704, although their latency and network characteristics make them materially different from the fiber, cable and fixed-wireless systems already present in central Austin.

What is different about broadband in 78704?

78704 is a central and largely built-out Austin ZIP south of Lady Bird Lake. It includes Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Zilker, Barton Hills, Dawson, Galindo and major South Congress and South Lamar corridors. The housing stock includes older single-family homes, remodeled properties, apartment buildings and newer infill. Those physical differences are relevant to broadband availability because network infrastructure ultimately reaches individual buildings rather than ZIP codes.

78704 has direct Google Fiber evidence inside the ZIP

Google Fiber's current Austin information lists its local address at 3601 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, and its Austin service information includes South Austin among the areas in its network footprint. That makes Google Fiber more than a generic citywide provider on this page: there is current provider evidence physically tied to 78704.

AT&T Fiber creates a second major fiber comparison

Recent FCC-derived secondary data reports AT&T Fiber across a large share of 78704. The reported figure is approximately 82.9% in one current dataset, but the page treats that number as a dataset estimate rather than a guarantee. AT&T's own Austin page confirms local fiber service and requires an address check.

78704's housing stock makes building-level verification important

Central 78704 contains older homes alongside apartment and multifamily properties and newer infill construction. A fiber network being present on surrounding streets does not necessarily mean an apartment unit or a particular building has the same installation path, wiring or provider choices as a detached home.

South Congress is a direct broadband reference point

South Congress is one of the most recognizable commercial corridors in the ZIP, and Google Fiber's current Austin location is at 3601 South Congress Avenue. This provides a concrete local anchor for Google Fiber's 78704 presence while also illustrating why a commercial address should not be mistaken for residential coverage throughout the surrounding neighborhood.

Fixed wireless is relevant even in a dense central ZIP

T-Mobile operates a Home Internet-enabled location at 500 E Ben White Blvd in 78704, while secondary datasets report both T-Mobile and Verizon fixed wireless in the ZIP. Wireless service can be useful where a wired option is unavailable or unsuitable, but cellular capacity and building conditions make it fundamentally different from fiber or cable.

Coverage datasets disagree on the exact ZIP percentages

One recent secondary FCC-derived dataset reports AT&T Fiber at about 82.9% of 78704 and Astound at about 24.9%, while another current provider comparison reports substantially different figures for Spectrum, Google Fiber and fixed wireless. These differences are useful evidence that ZIP-wide percentages should be treated as reporting outputs, not as exact measurements of every household.

78704 local broadband findings

The most useful 78704 findings are not simply the names of providers. They explain where the strongest evidence exists and where the available datasets need to be interpreted cautiously.

Finding	Evidence	What it means for a 78704 address
AT&T Fiber	Recent FCC-derived secondary data reports approximately 82.9% ZIP-level fiber coverage.	AT&T Fiber is a major wired option in the ZIP, but the percentage should not replace an address check.
Google Fiber	Google Fiber lists 3601 South Congress Avenue in 78704 and identifies South Austin as part of its Austin network.	Google Fiber is a directly documented local network rather than only an Austin-wide provider.
Spectrum	Spectrum lists Austin as a service area and has a Southpark Meadows location at 9600 S IH 35 in nearby 78748; secondary datasets report Spectrum inside 78704.	Spectrum remains relevant for 78704, but the exact local coverage footprint should be checked by address.
Astound	Current secondary FCC-derived datasets report smaller fiber and cable footprints in 78704.	Astound is worth checking for specific properties rather than assuming ZIP-wide availability.
T-Mobile Home Internet	Official T-Mobile location at 500 E Ben White Blvd lists Home Internet and an availability check.	5G Home Internet is a locally relevant alternative, but capacity and address-level eligibility control the actual result.
Verizon 5G	Current secondary datasets report Verizon fixed wireless in 78704, with variation between reporting sources.	Verizon should be checked independently rather than inferred from another carrier's wireless coverage.

Areas and development patterns inside 78704

These areas are geographic reference points for understanding the ZIP's physical broadband environment. They are not provider coverage claims. Network availability can change from one street or building to the next.

Bouldin Creek Established residential area west of South Congress with a mixture of older houses, remodeled properties, apartments and infill. Building-level wiring can therefore matter when comparing providers.

Travis Heights Long-established residential area near I-35 and South Congress where older housing and later renovations create a different infrastructure context from newly constructed suburban subdivisions.

Zilker Residential area surrounding Zilker Park and Barton Springs, with access to South Lamar and other central Austin corridors. Individual buildings still require provider-level verification.

Barton Hills Residential area west of the Zilker core where terrain, mature development and property-specific infrastructure can matter more than the ZIP boundary itself.

South Congress corridor Major commercial and mixed-use corridor running through 78704. Google's current Austin operation is directly documented at 3601 South Congress Avenue in this ZIP.

South Lamar Mixed residential and commercial corridor with older homes, apartments and redevelopment. Multifamily wiring can produce different ISP choices from nearby detached homes.

Dawson Established south-central Austin residential area near major transportation corridors. Older infrastructure and property renovations can affect installation conditions.

Galindo Established residential area in southern 78704 where the local broadband question is more likely to turn on street-level network plant and individual property infrastructure than on ZIP-wide data.

Ben White / I-35 edge Major transportation corridors form important reference points around the ZIP. T-Mobile has a Home Internet-enabled location at 500 E Ben White Blvd, but a retail location does not establish residential eligibility throughout the surrounding area.

Housing matters in 78704: Central Austin's older homes, apartment buildings, condominium properties and redevelopment sites do not necessarily share the same internal wiring. A provider may report a network nearby while an individual building still requires a different installation path, building authorization or technology. Address-level verification is especially important for multifamily properties.

How to verify internet service at a 78704 address

Because 78704 contains overlapping fiber, cable and fixed-wireless networks, the most reliable process is to check the major wired networks independently and then compare fixed wireless.

1. Check the fiber networks first

Check AT&T for current fiber eligibility.
Check Google Fiber for the exact property.
Confirm whether the building is already connected rather than relying on nearby fiber coverage.
For apartments, ask whether the specific unit can receive the provider's service.

2. Compare cable and smaller wired footprints

Check Spectrum at the exact service address.
Check Astound independently because its 78704 footprint is smaller.
Do not assume a commercial location proves residential service at nearby properties.
Verify upload speed as well as advertised download speed.

3. Compare fixed wireless separately

Check T-Mobile 5G Home Internet at the exact address.
Check Verizon 5G Home Internet separately.
Do not infer eligibility from a nearby retail store or another household.
Consider signal, capacity and building construction.

4. Use ZIP-level data as a research layer

FCC-derived datasets are useful for establishing that 78704 contains multiple fiber, cable and fixed-wireless networks. They are not live ordering systems. Current sources also disagree on several ZIP-wide percentages, which is another reason to use the FCC National Broadband Map and provider address checkers for the final property-level answer.

What to compare before choosing a 78704 connection

The unusual feature of this ZIP is not simply the number of providers. It is the number of competing technologies and networks that may be available at the same address.

Fiber versus cable

Compare upload capacity

AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber can provide symmetrical upload and download capacity where available. Spectrum's cable-connected residential service can have a different upload profile even when the advertised download speed appears similar.

Two fiber networks

Check both before assuming one is the only fiber option

78704 is one of the Austin ZIPs where a resident should check both AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber independently. Current secondary data reports substantial coverage from both, while Google's own operation is directly documented inside the ZIP.

Multifamily housing

Ask about building infrastructure

In apartments and condominiums, the provider available at the street may not be the provider that can be installed in a particular unit. Building wiring, existing service arrangements and installation requirements can materially change the available choices.

Check the exact 78704 address

ZIP-level research identifies the local network market. Provider address tools determine which service can actually be ordered.

Check Availability

Sources and methodology

This page gives greater weight to current provider information for operational presence and plan capabilities, while using FCC-derived secondary datasets as a ZIP-level coverage layer. Where sources disagree, the page preserves that uncertainty rather than selecting a convenient percentage.

Research limitation: The latest secondary datasets reviewed do not agree on every 78704 coverage percentage. That is expected when sources use different FCC reporting vintages, geographic aggregation and processing methods. This page therefore uses percentages only as contextual evidence and does not present them as the number of homes that can order service today. For a specific property, the FCC National Broadband Map and the provider's own address checker are the appropriate verification layers.

78704 internet provider FAQ

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

What internet providers serve ZIP code 78704?

Current ZIP-level evidence identifies AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, Spectrum, Astound Broadband, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon fixed wireless among the principal terrestrial providers reported in 78704. Satellite services are also geographically available. The actual provider list for a home or apartment should be confirmed using each provider's address checker.

Is AT&T Fiber available in 78704?

Current FCC-derived secondary data reports substantial AT&T Fiber coverage in 78704, and AT&T confirms fiber service in Austin. One current secondary dataset reports approximately 82.9% ZIP-level fiber coverage. That figure is a dataset estimate, not proof that every 78704 property can order AT&T Fiber. AT&T's address checker should be used for the final result.

Is Google Fiber available in 78704?

Google Fiber has direct current evidence inside 78704: its Austin information lists 3601 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, and the provider identifies South Austin as part of its Austin network area. Secondary ZIP-level datasets also report substantial GFiber coverage. Individual residential eligibility still needs to be checked by address.

Does Spectrum serve 78704?

Spectrum lists Austin as a residential service area and operates a current store at 9600 S IH 35 Building I in neighboring ZIP 78748. Current secondary datasets report Spectrum inside 78704 as well. Because the ZIP-level percentage varies substantially by source, Spectrum's current address checker is the appropriate way to verify a specific property.

Does Astound Broadband serve 78704?

Yes, Astound appears in current secondary FCC-derived broadband records for 78704, including fiber and cable records. Its footprint is considerably smaller than the major fiber networks, so Astound should be treated as a property-specific possibility rather than a ZIP-wide assumption.

Is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet available in 78704?

T-Mobile operates a current location at 500 E Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704, and its official store page lists T-Mobile Home Internet with an availability check. This establishes a local operational presence but not universal residential eligibility. T-Mobile determines Home Internet eligibility by service address and network conditions.

Does Verizon 5G Home Internet serve 78704?

Current secondary datasets report Verizon fixed-wireless service in 78704, although coverage estimates vary between datasets. Verizon's current home internet information states that 5G Home availability and speeds vary by location. A current address check should therefore be used rather than relying on a ZIP-wide percentage.

Can two nearby homes in 78704 have different providers?

Yes. Fiber and cable networks can follow different streets and property boundaries, while apartment buildings may have different internal wiring or provider arrangements. Fixed-wireless eligibility can also change because of network capacity and wireless conditions. This is particularly relevant in 78704 because the ZIP contains older homes, multifamily properties and newer infill.

Is the fastest advertised speed necessarily the best connection?

No single advertised speed describes the entire connection. Upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, Wi-Fi capability, installation requirements, regular pricing and the actual technology delivered to the property should also be compared.

Why do different websites report different 78704 coverage percentages?

Broadband datasets can use different FCC reporting vintages, geographic aggregation methods and processing rules. Some sources also combine provider technologies differently. A recent 78704 dataset reports AT&T Fiber at about 82.9%, while other sources produce materially different figures for Spectrum, Google Fiber and fixed wireless. Those numbers should therefore be treated as research indicators rather than exact current household counts.

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

ZIP-level datasets are useful for identifying the broadband market around 78704, 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. Provider address checkers and the FCC National Broadband Map provide a more appropriate property level of verification.

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, condominiums, older homes, redevelopment projects and individual properties may have different network infrastructure. Always confirm service, technology, speed, equipment requirements and current pricing directly with the provider before ordering.
