List of ISPs in Zip Code 77057

Really depends on specifcially where you are in that zip code but the main options are Comcast and AT&T U-Verse or DSL. Some apartment complexes in the area use alternate cable providers such as Wavevision, Yiginition, or Phonoscope instead of Comcast and/or AT&T.

Interesting names. I'll have a look at the websites for the three companies you've listed.

How can I tell if some apartments offer alternatives to Comcast?

By the way, "Yiginition" should be "Ygnition."

Update: Ygnition is not for me as I don't plan to live in one of the apartments listed when choosing a location. As for WaveVision,

I'm wondering what the regular price of Internet service will be for current customers? It looks to me that I will not get Internet-only service. Or am I missing anything?

For Phonoscope, it looks like it's for businesses only as I don't see the list of prices there.

You have to call and ask about internet only pricing probably. I have never personally dealt with them, but know people who have used them in the past and had internet only.

The proprietary apartment cable and internet sucks at least with wave vision.
The base cable (no HD) is $100 a month. Over the last year when they were bought out my rate went from less than $60 to $100.
Their internet has some stupidly low cap like 50GB so that was a reason I did not get internet from them.
I just use OTA. OTA has all the basic channels and some extra movie channels + a bunch of spanish channels.

Find a location that has both ATT and Comcast for internet.

I had no idea what a walk score was, but your 80% did not make sense to me. I googled it and houston is listed as a 50% walk score.

That makes sense as houston is spaced out with no good public transportation. It is no where near like Chicago or New York where you dont need car.
In houston you will need a car.

For houston neighborhoods:
Montrose - 82% (gay bar area)
Greenway/Upper Kirby - 78%
Midtown - 77%
Downtown - 76%
Greater Uptown - 64% (77057)

ATT Uverse may not play nice with your router.
I have had problems trying to assign my router the public IP address. All I can say is do not get a NVG510 modem if you get uverse.

You are thinking of a large city. You've got to be specific. Think about when you walk out of your apartment and in about 1/4 of the mile from your apartment, you'll approach restaurants, shopping centers, grocery stores, and any places you can think of.

For example, how about the apartment (Fountainview Lodge II) with a walk score of 85?

Montebello Gardens?

»www.walkscore.com/score/6041-win···tx-77057

Or Greenway Gardens?

»www.walkscore.com/score/3131-tim···tx-77027

That's why I am going to be moving into an area with a walk score of 85.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know about WaveVision. I'll go with AT&T U-Verse if I can since I only prefer an Internet-only service.
