High-Speed Internet in Mico, TX $65/month Flat Rate

Zip codes served: 78056

Mico is one of the more terrain-challenged communities in STI's coverage area. The hilly ground around Medina Lake — which sits in the transition zone between the Hill Country and South Texas brush country — creates dead zones for satellite signals and makes standard DSL infrastructure impractical to maintain. AT&T has no fiber presence in 78056, and DSL service where it exists is unreliable in the hills. Spectrum does not serve this area. Starlink users in Mico frequently report signal interruptions from tree canopy and terrain shading.

Medina Lake draws a mix of permanent residents and lake-house owners who are increasingly using their properties year-round for remote work. The combination of scenic terrain and commuting distance from San Antonio — about 45 minutes on FM 471 or FM 1283 — has made Mico attractive to people who want Hill Country living without a full daily commute. Those residents need broadband that works in the hills, not satellite that bounces off them.

STI's fixed wireless is engineered differently from satellite — signal comes horizontally from a nearby tower rather than vertically from orbit. That means terrain shading and tree canopy are a different kind of challenge that our installers work around with antenna placement and height. Many addresses in Mico that have had satellite issues work fine on STI because the angle of signal approach is fundamentally different.

Line-of-sight in hilly terrain varies more than in flat South Texas, so call before scheduling. We'll do a site assessment and tell you honestly whether the installation is feasible at your specific property rather than guessing from a coverage map.
