The need for high speed Internet is constantly on the rise in Texas. To stay connected nowadays, many Texans don't just rely on traditional phone services. There are those who communicate through email, instant messaging, and VoIP. Now, communication isn't the only reason why Texans go for high speed Internet connections. With the onset of other Web based technologies such as video streaming and cloud computing, many of them go to the Web for information, entertainment, and yes... work.
This need has been identified by local telephone companies and many of them have started offering DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines). Providing such services is usually easier for local phone companies like Brazos because they already have the necessary network. Although it is true that some still offer dial up, most of those who offer relatively slow connections also offer broadband services that can go up to 3Mbps.
Not everyone in Texas subscribe to telephone companies for high speed Internet connections. There are those who turn to ISP's who really specialize in providing Internet access. Because of the presence of high speed Internet, it is common to come across WiFi hotspots especially in the urbanized areas. Many of them are found in cafes and hotels such as the Alamo Drafthouse along Colorado Street in Austin and Ballpark Inn along North Collins Street in Arlington. These areas make high speed Internet accessible to transients as well.

Yes it is. Actaully I use the cheap high speed internet and only pay $20.00 a month and there is hardly ever any downtime. The only draw back is the slower speed. Like if you want to watch a youtube video, it will take longer to buffer and load rather than the fast connection speeds. But as for the gaming side of it there has been no difference, I still get a very low "Ping".

High speed internet can generally mean anything over normal dialup 56k modem speeds. This does not even have to be broadband. The company could mean *faster* dial up speeds. You really need to check with the company and find out what kind of speeds they guarantee.
