Spectrum is a garbage company but their internet is great. If you have access to GVTC theirs is really good too.

I haven't had ATT Fiber so I won't fight you on that, but I've had spectrum internet and it was great. Spectrum TV was garbage but that was 10 years ago.
I'm north of Timberwood park and we have Spectrum and GVTC available. Lots of good things to say from the neighbors about both.

got rid of spectrum internet recently cause it is not dependable, even with a pedestal box right outside. AT&T fiber was installed here in New Braunfels a year or so ago and it is doing well.

We switched Google fiber from spectrum in May and have already had 4 major outages. One was for an entire day, and the others were for 4-8 hours. I never had a service interruption with spectrum in like 10 years, outside of the big freeze when none of my retirement had power. I've seriously questioned why I switched...

I see posts on Nextdoor about Google fiber outages ALL THE TIME. Never had an issue with AT&T. I work from home 60-100% of every week, so reliability is really important for me. I also pay less than Google's base rate even if the speeds are slower (never have an issue with streaming though, so I don't really need more speed).

I have AT&T Fiber at home (I also work from home) and haven't had any issues since switching several years ago.

We switched to Spectrum about a year ago from AT&T. I can't remember, but I don't believe it was AT&T fiber. We couldn't get signal in half of the house even with a mesh system.
No issues with Spectrum. Half the price, and 3x speeds. They just put Google Fiber in the neighborhood recently, but was double the price. I'm going to keep an eye on it if Spectrum loses quality or reliability.

I think internet quality is only as good as the infrastructure in your area. When we first moved into our house AT&T was great. Once they started adding more and more customers, it sucked.

We are on ATT fiber optic. I'm pretty sure that's the fastest. We have our phone on ATT as well. Have had about 4 short-term outages in 3 years. Only extended outage was when the ice storm in 2021 knocked power out completely.
They state "With both download speeds and upload speeds up to 5Gbps, AT&T delivers the fastest residential internet of any major internet service provider." I don't know if it's true or not but we're happy with the service.

We went with spectrum, because I think Cox was the other choice ( we only had two choices it seems)
