Google is planning to launch an experiment that we hope will make Internet access better and faster for everyone
Google plans to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Their networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. They'll offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.
On March 26, the City of Round Rock submitted information about our community to Google's Fiber for Communities Request for information (RFI). This information will be used by Google to determine where they will build their network over the coming months.
