Lubbock's market is distinct from most of Texas — Optimum is the dominant cable provider, covering about 98% of the city, while fiber comes from Vexus Fiber and AT&T Fiber, with the big question for most residents being whether fiber has reached their address yet.
Optimum is the near-universal cable option in Lubbock (~98%), with gigabit speeds and plans from ~$25/mo, though its cable uploads are limited. For symmetrical fiber, you'll need to be in Vexus Fiber's or AT&T Fiber's footprint — both are broad but inconsistent. Where no wired fiber is available, Verizon 5G and Starlink are the wireless fallbacks.
