Uvalde County
400 Mbps Air Fiber. No contracts. No data caps. Local support you can actually reach.
Knippa sits on US-90 between Sabinal and Uvalde, a small Uvalde County community surrounded by farmland, ranch country, and the traprock quarry that has been part of the local economy for more than a century.
Wired broadband options are limited in this part of Uvalde County, and many residents rely on satellite service. STI's Air Fiber reaches Knippa with 400 Mbps for $65/month — ground-based, no contract, no data caps, and local support based in Hondo.

Knippa is in Uvalde County along US-90, between Sabinal to the east and Uvalde to the west. Like much of rural Uvalde County, it has seen little investment in wired broadband, and satellite has been the fallback for many households, farms, and ranches that need a real connection.
STI's coverage reaches into Uvalde County from our South Texas tower network. Knippa is at the western edge of our service area, and because it's further from our Medina County operations base, it's worth calling to confirm your specific address is within coverage before scheduling.
Rural addresses outside Knippa — farm and ranch properties and county road addresses — have the most variable coverage in this zip code. Call (830) 429-4149 with your address before assuming we can or can't reach you. We'll check and give you an honest answer on what's available at your location.
Knippa takes its name from George Knippa, who moved his family to the site in the 1880s; the settlement was originally known as Chatfield. It grew up along the railroad line running west from San Antonio to Uvalde. Gold prospectors west of town in the early 1900s found little gold but plenty of high-quality traprock, and a quarry opened around 1911 that shipped stone out on the Southern Pacific.
Knippa is the next stop west of Sabinal on US 90, and STI serves both communities with the same flat-rate plan. If you're comparing providers for a property between the two towns, one call to (830) 429-4149 covers either address.
When something goes wrong, you call (830) 429-4149 — and you talk to someone who lives and works in South Texas. Not a ticket system. Not an overseas call center. And new customers are installed within one business day.
