Austin is one of the most fiber-competitive cities in the country, with several networks fighting for customers — AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, Astound (Grande), and Spectrum all serve parts of the city, so your exact neighborhood determines your best option.
Austin's market is genuinely neighborhood-by-neighborhood. Downtown near the Capitol and UT, Astound (Grande) is the most available fiber, and AT&T serves the area mainly with its older AT&T Internet (IPBB) product. North of UT in Hyde Park, AT&T Fiber is more available; farther north into Northwest Hills, North Austin and Great Hills, both AT&T Fiber and Google Fiber become widely available. Where you can't get fiber, Spectrum cable is the fallback.
