Most apartment buildings — and most homes, for that matter — rely on a single internet provider. When that one provider has an outage, everyone goes offline and there’s nothing to do but wait. The Anderson is built differently.
Two providers, not one
The property is connected to two completely independent internet providers at the same time: AT&T and Spectrum. They arrive on separate lines, over separate networks, from separate companies. Both are live around the clock — this isn’t a backup line sitting in a drawer, it’s two full circuits running in parallel.
Automatic failover
If one provider has an outage or slows down, the property automatically shifts traffic to the other — no phone calls, no reset, no waiting on hold with an ISP. In most cases you won’t even notice it happened; your video call, download, or stream just keeps going.
Why it matters
Internet outages always seem to hit at the worst time — mid-presentation, during a livestream, on a big game night. With two providers backing each other up, one company’s bad day doesn’t become your bad day. Whether you’re working from home, gaming and streaming, or just running a smart home, the connection stays up.
Something no one else in Austin offers
Dual-provider redundancy is standard for hospitals, data centers, and banks — not apartments. As far as we know, no other multifamily community in Austin runs two redundant internet providers like this. It’s one more way the internet here is built to a standard you simply won’t find at a typical apartment. See how The Anderson compares.
