What is the best internet provider in Round Rock?

Several of the nation’s biggest internet service providers are currently available in Round Rock, Texas, but not all residents have access. If you're looking for internet in Round Rock, Spectrum is CNET's recommendation for the best internet service provider for most households in this Texas city. This cable ISP serves most addresses, offering fast speeds and reasonable prices. However, where Spectrum isn't available in Round Rock, AT&T Fiber and T-Mobile Home Internet are also solid picks for home broadband.

Are you looking for the cheapest plans or the fastest speeds? We've also found the top options in those categories. Spectrum has a 100Mbps plan for $30 a month -- the lowest out there. If Spectrum isn't in your area, T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon 5G Home Internet both have offerings starting at $50. However, eligible T-Mobile and Verizon mobile customers can receive a $15 to $20 discount on their monthly bill. For the speediest service, check out AT&T Fiber, which offers plans as fast as 5 gigabits per second for $245 monthly.

What's a good internet speed?

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks.

Here's an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Round Rock

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike with the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. So what’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information, drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites, and mapping information from FCC.gov.

But it doesn’t end there. We go to the FCC's website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP's service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.

Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:

Though the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to "yes" on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, though we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and also consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

The Brief

ROUND ROCK, Texas - Round Rock ISD voters approved giving the district millions of dollars for upgrades and repairs to its schools on Tuesday night.

The district hoped voters would pass the full bond at nearly $1 billion.

That would have been the highest passed bond in its district history, but voters only said yes to three of the four propositions.

Altogether, the three bonds equal more than $930 million.

"Your support and trust means that our students and staff will have upgraded classrooms, fine arts, playgrounds, and equipment throughout the district," said Dr. Hafedh Azaiez, Round Rock ISD’s superintendent. "The funds from propositions A, B, and C will ensure that we continue being a destination district for Round Rock ISD and Central Texas."

Starting early next year, Round Rock ISD plans to start spending the first $125 million on new technology.

"Those bonds would be used to replace student and teacher devices at every campus," said Azaiez.

Following that will be hundreds of millions on repairing roofs, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical systems.

"We are touching every single campus in our district, so everyone will benefit from this bond and so it is exciting to see our community support for public education," said Amber Feller Landrum, Round Rock ISD board of trustees president.

The district will also build a new facility for its career and technical education program.

"The CTE center is going to be able to provide so many more opportunities for students across our district, being able to have an expanded, more robust robotics program, being able to have kids that start robotics in kindergarten and then are able to go to a robotics practice space and have that be available to them is amazing," said Lindsey Ledyard, co-chair of the Citizen Bond Committee.

Voters said no to more than $65 million in improvements for updating lighting, scoreboards, and turf at its athletic facilities.

If Proposition D passed, the district could also have built a new multipurpose athletic center.

"I am disappointed Prop D did not pass, but we will have to address those needs as we move forward," said Landrum. "We are really addressing our most dire needs in our district with roofs and HVACs and computers."

The performing arts facility will also see some money to update stage lighting and sound systems.

The district says property taxes will not go up.
