Since you live in Texas go AT&T. What I have and don't have any problems, especially if you run an ethernet cord. Or get what Anarchy has, because he always pulls host.
I use Telstra. But then again, that doesn't help you at all!

Google Fiber if it's in your neighborhood. $70/month for what you get is still good value.
AT&T U-Verse is technically FiOS I think, but it's not as fast as Google. But still good value. But even here you're going to need to pay for the $45/month plan to have a decent connection, the $35/month plan may get you by but it's not any better value than TWC.
I have Time Warner too. You really only need their Standard plan (15mbps), which is $35/month. If they upped the bill, you can usually bitch up a storm and threaten to leave to get it down a bit, that's always an option.
But for internet speeds suitable for gaming, you're going to be forking over $40~ at least.

This.
U-verse is a bit different. The majority of the pipelines are fiber-based, but you don't get the full benefit of fiber speeds, because the fiber terminates before reaching the household. It's called Fiber To The Block, as opposed to Fiber To The Door. From the terminal to the household, it's DSL. This gave AT&T a major edge against other DSL providers for some time, because they could service customers with higher speed DSL and keep any complete fiber providers from setting up shop in most of the areas they control. The greater Atlanta area is an example: other fiber providers including Google may find it difficult to lay the groundwork for their services due to AT&T's foothold, even though DSL is largely falling away under Fiber and Cable, which sucks for Myth and me. AT&T is beginning plans to go full Fiber To The Door, however, likely because Google Fiber managed a successful proof of concept with their service. We'll see the results unfold over time, to be sure.
Finally, this. Compared to the current plan I have with U-verse, by the way, 35 bucks for 15mbps downstream bandwidth (probably 3-5 upstream) is a steal, as it should be considering that cable is simply proving to be easier to advance than DSL.
It hasn't been bought out yet, but I can attest to how evil Comcast is as a whole anyway. Toast, however, seems rather satisfied with Time Warner over in the greatest city on Earth blah blah blah.
Real power comes from the man next to you and is built on the foundations of brotherhood and unity. There is no such thing as a one man army.
I thought google fiber was 100+ a month
The problem is I am also paying for cable, but I think I should get rid of it cause I don't really watch TV except toonami on saturdays.
Yeah I guess I'll do that and get some better internetz
Thanks for all the help guys!
