Choices Among Internet Providers in Tyler Texas

If you are like me and live out in the country you don’t have as many choices as someone living in the city limits of Tyler. There are a lot of things that I don’t have the privilege of doing without paying more money such as having a fast internet connection and going to the Tyler Public Library. Both of these things I will end up paying much more for than the average Tyler Texas joe living in the city limits. For those inside the city you can go with Suddenlink cable internet or AT&T highspeed internet service.

There are now even more internet options available for those in and outside the city of Tyler Texas than there has been for many years. There are these highspeed wireless PC cards offered by all the major cell phone carriers that allow you to plug a PC card into your laptop or desktop computer and have a fairly fast wireless internet service. The downside to the PC card wireless access is if you go over your usage limit you could be charged as high as 25 cents per megabyte. Those megabytes go pretty quick especially if you watch Youtube videos or download software.

Best Deal On Wireless Internet PC Card Service In Tyler

As far as cell phone wireless internet PC card service the best deal in Tyler is probably with Sprint although their coverage is spotty out in the country. The fastest and pretty good coverage in and outside the city of Tyler is with Verizon. Verizon will charge you 25 cents per megabyte if you go over your usage limit which is why I no longer use this company. Sprint only charges 5 cents per megabyte if you go over their limit however they also have an unlimited usage plan for a little more money.

Which Wireless Internet PC Card I Prefer The Most

AT&T’s wireless internet PC card goes by the name aircard and offers great speeds and coverage in the city of Tyler although the coverage gets a little spotty depending on where in the country you may be living in Smith County. Overall I prefer the speed of Verizon wireless internet PC card, the price and coverage of the Sprint wireless PC card, and enjoy the speed and coverage of AT&T’s aircard provided you use it within the city of Tyler and not out in the country.

Best Choice For Wireless Internet in Tyler Texas

For an even faster wireless internet outside the city limits of Tyler I recommend going with a wifi service that broadcasts from tower antennas. There is a company by the name of East Texas Wifi that I use and I love the service, low latency and internet speed they offer. There is another wireless internet company that competes with them called DCTexas Internet and they also boast some very fast speeds and low latency. Low latency simply means that any downloads you do will be very quick. If you were to compare the latency of a satellite internet service as you would get with Hughes net it would be a night and day difference. For instance, if you attempted to watch a funny youtube video with Hughes net you might as well queue it up and go eat a sandwich before it will be ready. With East Texas Wifi you will be able to watch the movie immediately almost as if you turned on TV to watch a show you like.

Stay Away From Hughes.net Satelite Internet Service!

WARNING!!! If you live in Tyler Texas or around the area avoid Hughes net at all costs! They will have you commit to a contract while wireless internet service companies like East Texas wifi will put you on a month to month plan. Once you are locked into the Hughes net contract you will quickly discover that the internet service is very slow and reminiscent of old dial up service back in the olden days. You will pay a high price for this lousy internet service too. It simply is not worth it and everyone I have spoken with about Hughesnet in Tyler have told me just how much they hate their internet service.

Best Internet Providers in Tyler Texas

December 10th, 2009

When trying to determine which internet provider is the best when it comes to price and speed it can be a little hard. You are dealing with very location specific speed issues and some neighborhoods will be worse than others. You basically have two choices, Cable internet, or DSL internet. There is now EVDO wireless internet cards but these have limitations when it comes to bandwidth so for the most part you want to stick with DSL or cable.

Your cable internet choice is Suddenlink internet which back in the early 90’s was called Tyler.net or Tyler internet. Cox bought them which later became Suddenlink. We have seen several customer reviews claiming that Suddenlink cable internet just isn’t very fast. Here are a couple positive and negative reviews to give you some idea what people are saying:

I use Suddenlink here in Tyler, TX, for my broadband provider, and I have never been disappointed. It is up 99.9% of the time, and the speeds are awesome. I am paying for 4Mbps, and on several Internet-based speed tests, I am always at about 8Mbps (those are download speeds, of course). Add to that the convenience of billing included with my cable statement, and Suddenlink broadband is the way to go!

Pretty sweet John. I paid for 8 mb dl speeds and get 4 to 5 on average! Instant and random disconnects, lag on online games. I recently cut my dl speed to 1 mb dl. I can still play video games with the same lag for a cheaper price! You rock severedlink!

For the video gamers out there you may not want to go with cable internet as you are basically sharing internet speeds with your neighbors. That coaxial cable that you see on the power lines outside runs to every house and the bandwidth is shared by everyone. When that bandwidth gets used at the same time by multiple neighbors that are all subscribed to suddenlink cable internet you may see a degredation in your internet speed. If it happens once it will probably be a regular occurence as people are creatures of habit. If you use the internet in the evening there is a good chance that everyone else in your neighborhood does too. This isn’t a good thing for those relying on cable internet.

DSL internet is provided by AT&T for the most part in Tyler Texas and offers you a dedicated line rather than something shared with your neighbors. You will not have to worry about sporadic slow internet speeds but will get exactly what you pay for every time. The times that cable internet beats DSL is when you are in a neighborhood where most of your neighbors are not subscribers to high speed internet but you are. This type of neighborhood is ideal because you will pay a little less with Suddenlink cable internet and will still have the fast speeds. Unfortunately there aren’t many neighborhoods like this anymore.

Our preferred choice is AT&T DSL high speed broadband internet. You will get a guaranteed internet speed and will not have to compete with your Tyler neighbors on when to use the internet for optimal speeds. This is by no means a hard and fast rule but just a little intelligent understanding of how the whole internet service thing works in Tyler Texas. Feel free to comment below if you agree or disagree.
