Do any of the big Texas cities have good fiber optic coverage yet?

Anywhere that has Verizon FiOS, which is large parts of DFW. I have it in Grapevine.

As far as I know, Austin has Google fiber which is wonderful (1 gigabit upload and download, advertised. From what I hear the speeds are consistent w/ the advertised).

Google Fiber has yet to actually build out much, if at all. Given their business model, I wouldn't count on it either.

Best bets are FiOS, U-Verse, or Grande.

And in GVTC territory, which is in the more rural areas just outside and north of San Antonio. Fair warning... GVTC service is fast, but expensive.

The town of Muleshoe, Texas has fiber optic cabling throughout the town. However, I believe it was only for telephone services several years ago when it was being installed.
