Zip codes served: 78861 area — Schattel is a small rural community in Medina County served under the Hondo zip code district without a dedicated zip code.

Schattel is part of the agricultural belt that runs through central Medina County — ranch and farm country where South Texas families have worked the land since the region's earliest settlement days. AT&T has no fiber service here, and DSL on legacy copper lines is limited or nonexistent in smaller communities like Schattel. Spectrum does not serve rural Medina County. Starlink has been the only real broadband option for most Schattel-area households.

Small communities throughout Medina County share the same infrastructure challenge: large enough to have real connectivity needs, small enough to be ignored by major carriers who build only where return on investment is obvious. STI serves these communities because our fixed wireless model makes it economical to reach dispersed rural addresses that satellite can serve from above but only STI can serve from the ground at a competitive price.

Being based in Hondo means that service in the Schattel area — which is part of the 78861 district — gets the same rapid response and local support as Hondo itself. Installs, service calls, and account questions are handled by the same team that serves the county seat, not a distant call center. Addresses in the Schattel area vary across county roads and rural routes, so call with your specific address before scheduling to confirm line-of-sight coverage.
