The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedFrontier is the best overall, with fiber speeds up to 7,000/7,000 Mbps reaching about 70% of Plano. Where Frontier does not reach, Spectrum is the safe fallback, mostly cable, with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps reaching about 94% of the city.
Local availability is especially strong for Frontier in Whiffletree, where it covers about 89%, and in Russell Creek, where it covers about 79%, while Lakeside on Preston reaches about 72% Frontier coverage. Kings Ridge is more mixed, with Frontier covering about 63% and AT&T fiber reaching about 8%, so the exact address matters more there. Around Collin College Spring Creek Campus, Frontier covers about 76%, but student apartments can have a different provider mix than nearby homes, and older buildings may still be tied to DSL or copper. For Zoom, streaming, and gaming, students should confirm that the apartment has a reliable fiber or cable connection rather than assuming the neighborhood result applies inside the building. T-Mobile and Verizon fixed wireless are worth checking when wired service is unavailable, but coverage and performance can vary. Check your exact address before ordering, since availability can change from one street or building to the next.

Astound Broadband is a top-tier option in Plano, especially for demanding home use. Its fiber plan offers up to 1500 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 92, while its cable plan reaches up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with the same 92 score, both well above the city average of 65.

About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong option for demanding internet use, but its availability in Plano is limited. At select addresses, it offers excellent cable service with up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload, or fiber with up to 1500 Mbps both ways, though the fiber plan reaches only about 1% of census blocks and the cable plan about 2%.

The 8,000 Mbps plan is available to about 1% of Plano, so the best technology and speed may not reach your address. Hotwire also offers up to 2,500 Mbps for both downloads and uploads with a 95/100 score, and up to 2,000 Mbps symmetrically with a 93/100 score.

About Verizon
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless service offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, which is adequate for streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing, though its below-average 66/100 Speed Score may mean less consistent performance than cable or fiber. This plan is available to about 70% of Plano, and because fixed wireless performance depends on your address and local conditions, check your exact availability and compare faster wired options before choosing it.

Satellite internet can support streaming, work, and everyday browsing with up to 400 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload, but its higher latency may affect gaming and video calls. Starlink’s Residential Max 400 Mbps plan scores 75/100, above Plano’s city average of 65, and is listed as available to 100.0% of the city. Because wired connections generally offer lower latency, check other providers at your address if that matters for your household.

About Starlink
Starlink’s satellite service reaches 100.0% of Plano and can provide up to 400 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up, making it a useful option for streaming, video calls, and everyday home use, though satellite connections can have higher latency. The Residential Max plan is the strongest choice at $130 per month, while the $85 Residential 200 Mbps and $55 Residential 100 Mbps plans offer less speed, so check whether fiber or cable is available at your address first, since those technologies are generally better for demanding modern internet use.

At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its Speed Score is only 18/100, well below Plano’s 65 average. Satellite service can be limiting for latency-sensitive activities and demanding household use, so consider checking other providers first for stronger performance at your address. HughesNet’s listed plans are available to 100.0% of Plano, with Select offering up to 50 Mbps download for $49.99/mo initially and Lite offering up to 25 Mbps for $39.99/mo initially.

HughesNet reaches 100.0% of Plano, but because these plans use satellite, check your address for fiber or cable first, since satellite service can be a poor fit for demanding modern needs.

Viasat Essentials offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with availability to 100% of the city, but satellite service can have higher latency and may be less suitable for demanding activities.

About Viasat Inc

How We Analyze Internet in Plano
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Plano report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Plano
How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
