Is Verizon 5G Home available at your Texas address?
Only Verizon's check of your street address can tell you. Its Texas list names five metros, but a listed metro is not a promise for every home: in Dallas, Verizon reports fixed service at 62% of residential units, not all of them (FCC, Dec 31, 2025).
Verizon's Dallas page asks you to check Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco and McKinney. Across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro its share is 65.9%, and in El Paso it is 60.6%, the lowest of the five metros.
Searching for a 5G Home map of Houston or Dallas? The FCC National Broadband Map lets you search one address and see whether Verizon reported fixed wireless service there. Filings lag by months, so Verizon's own check is still the answer.
Where does Verizon offer internet in Texas?
Verizon names five Texas metros for 5G Home Internet: Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston and San Antonio (checked Oct 27, 2026). FCC data as of Dec 31, 2025 shows Verizon fixed wireless at 60.7% of Texas residential units, from 60.6% in El Paso to 70.5% in Austin.
Verizon's other states are covered in where Verizon offers Fios and 5G Home.

Deciding in Texas
Texas has the most crowded field of the 25 states on Verizon's 5G Home list: 54 providers each report at least 0.5% of units. These statewide counts do not establish household choices. In San Antonio and Austin, compare fiber with 5G Home if both qualify. In Dallas and Houston, compare cable with 5G Home if both qualify and read whether 5G home internet can replace cable.
Statewide, 8.5% of Texas households pay for satellite, the second-highest share of the 25. For satellite homes outside the metros, read what moving off satellite internet involves.
- Before comparing 5G Home with cable in Dallas or Houston, size your needs with the household internet needs tool.
- Texas's eastern neighbor is on the list, and so is the state beyond New Mexico to the west: Verizon 5G Home across Louisiana and across Arizona.
Statewide, you can compare every provider in Texas on Konecteaze.
