Business Internet in Dallas: 2026 Pricing Guide

Dallas-Fort Worth is the rare US metro where you usually have at least three real fiber options on the same block. Frontier rebuilt aggressively. AT&T fiber is on most commercial properties. Spectrum has fiber in select buildings on top of its coax footprint. There is also a real fiber overbuilder market.

The result is that the carrier with the lowest published price often is not the carrier you are with. That gap is the leverage you have not used.

What's particular to Dallas

Dallas's commercial demand sits in three places. The Stemmons Corridor, running along Stemmons Freeway northwest of downtown, holds the metro's heaviest carrier and data-center concentration, anchored by Infomart at 1950 Stemmons Freeway. Uptown is the dense mixed-use commercial cluster north of downtown, with significant Class A office and corporate headquarters tenancy. The Dallas Design District, west of Uptown, has shifted from showroom-only into a mixed creative-office and small-business spine. AT&T, headquartered downtown, and UT Southwestern Medical Center are two of the largest commercial accounts in the metro.

In 2026, Crow Holdings announced a 245 MW data center campus on roughly 40 acres along the Stemmons Corridor, explicitly citing proximity to Infomart at 1950 Stemmons Freeway and 2323 Bryan Street as the connectivity advantage. That kind of carrier density at the metro's primary peering point shows up downstream as more competitive pricing on dedicated fiber. One pricing wrinkle: Uptown Dallas property owners fund the PID through special assessments at a rate of 4.5 cents per $100 of valuation, which often passes through in commercial leases.

What you should be paying

These are dedicated internet ranges from current carrier wholesale data captured in Dallas, marked up to typical retail.

For Frontier Business Fiber broadband, a 1 Gbps line should land between $130 and $200 a month. The 2 Gbps tier is around $200 to $280. The 5 Gbps tier is $300 a month at the published rate.

For AT&T Business Fiber at 1 Gbps, expect $150 to $250 a month. For Spectrum coax at 600 Mbps, expect $150 to $230. Anything materially above those numbers is a sign of an aged contract.

The case study we keep referencing

A 60-person manufacturing firm in north Dallas had been paying $890 a month for Spectrum DIA 100 Mbps with a 5-year term. Two issues. The speed was way under-spec for the office. And the customer did not actually need dedicated access. There was no SLA-driven application running on the line.

We pulled a Frontier Business Fiber quote at $510 a month for 1 Gbps shared fiber. Higher speed, lower cost, no SLA. The customer accepted the tradeoff. Net savings of $380 a month, $4,560 a year on a 60-month term.

The lesson is that DIA is the right answer about 30 percent of the time. The rest of the time, the customer was sold up and a bill review can catch that.

Carriers worth quoting in Dallas

Five carriers cover most addresses in the metro.

1. Frontier Business Fiber. Aggressive on price, especially at 2 Gbps and 5 Gbps tiers.
2. AT&T Business Fiber. Strong coverage, competitive on price.
3. Spectrum Business. Coax everywhere, fiber in select buildings. Common default for legacy customers.
4. T-Mobile Business Internet. 5G fixed wireless, $85 a month for 200 to 300 Mbps.
5. Lumen and other regional fiber. Common in office parks and downtown towers.

If you have not had three of these on a quote sheet, you have not run a real comparison.

What to do this week

1. Pull your most recent invoice. Find the contract end date and the side fees.
2. Get one quote outside your current carrier. Frontier Business Fiber publishes most rates online and is the fastest benchmark.
3. Compare your base rate to the bands above. If you are 20 percent above the high end, the retention call is worth making.
