Where does Kinetic offer internet in Texas?

Texas has 173,506 locations where Kinetic, the former Windstream, reports fiber to the FCC (data as of Dec 31, 2025). Inside city limits, the largest blocks are in Texarkana, Sugar Land and Kerrville.

Kinetic's Texas page names 666 towns, more than in any other state. It lists 140 of them for fiber (checked Oct 27, 2026). Houston heads that fiber list by population. Yet the FCC data shows just 122 Kinetic fiber locations inside the city.

Kinetic location counts below are reported residential or mixed-use service locations. They are not household, subscriber or active-line counts; use a full-address check for a current offer.
