T-Mobile in Austin ZIP 78741
ZIP 78741 covers Riverside, Parker Lane, Montopolis, East Riverside Drive, Oltorf East and Metro Center — availability and pricing for T-Mobile below reflect this part of Austin specifically, not the city as a whole. 78741 is Austin's most diverse and densely populated ZIP — home to a vibrant multi-ethnic working-class community along East Riverside Drive.

Google Fiber covers approximately 87% of 78741 — a deliberate infrastructure equity investment in an underserved corridor. AT&T Fiber covers 84%. Spectrum cable covers 96%. Many apartment buildings along East Riverside have bulk-contract arrangements with Spectrum or AT&T. Montopolis and Parker Lane single-family homes generally have direct fiber options.
