Frontier Communications Expands Dallas Broadband: Here's What You Need

Frontier stands out among Dallas internet providers by advertising speeds up to 7 Gbps, the highest figure listed for any carrier serving the city.

Median fixed broadband download speeds across Dallas reached 189.03 Mbps with upload speeds at 37.30 Mbps as of January 2026, according to data tracked at broadbandnow.com/Texas/Dallas. Those figures reflect performance on existing connections rather than advertised maximums. Primary barriers to broader use in Dallas County remain affordability and digital skills rather than gaps in wires, since 96.9 percent of residents already have wired broadband at or above 25 Mbps, per the same tracking.

Provider footprints across the city

AT&T Fiber reaches 70.9 percent of Dallas addresses with plans up to 5 Gbps, while Spectrum cable blankets 92 percent of the city as the largest single provider by coverage, according to broadbandmap.com/internet-providers/dallas-tx. Frontier's 7 Gbps offering is available to only 4.9 percent of residents, limiting its immediate impact even though it leads on raw speed claims. About 55 percent of Dallas households can obtain fiber service of some kind, while cable and satellite together reach nearly 100 percent of addresses, based on figures compiled at inmyarea.com/internet/texas/dallas.

Residents can choose among fiber, cable, 5G home internet and satellite packages, giving most households multiple wired and wireless options at once.

Next steps for households

Anyone comparing plans should check address-specific availability first on the provider sites or comparison tools, then review current promotions for installation and equipment fees. Local digital-equity programs in Dallas County focus on lowering subscription costs and improving device skills once service is ordered.
