This map shows where the big wired internet networks actually exist, state by state: Verizon Fios, Frontier Fiber, Xfinity and Spectrum. Hover or tap a state to see which of them reach it, what technology they use and the fastest plan each one sells. Darker green means more of these providers have a footprint in the state. The data comes from each provider’s own filings to the FCC and is re-checked on a schedule; the date is at the bottom of the map.
- 4 or more (3 states)

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet
Fixed wireless, 87 to 415 Mbps typical. Sold address by address in all 50 states; not counted in the shading.
A shaded state means the network exists in parts of it, not everywhere; availability is decided address by address. Coverage shares come from the provider's own filings to the FCC Broadband Data Collection and describe how much of the state's housing sits inside the footprint, not whether your street does. Last verified October 10, 2026. Not drawn: Hawaii.
How to read this map
A shaded state means a provider has a network somewhere in it, not everywhere. Cable and fiber companies build neighborhood by neighborhood, so two houses a mile apart can have different options. Use the map to learn which providers are even possible where you live, then confirm your street with our ISP coverage checker or the provider’s own address tool. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is sold in all 50 states but is approved address by address, so it is listed in every state’s details rather than shaded.
What changed in 2026
Two deals redrew this map. On January 20, 2026 Verizon completed its purchase of Frontier Communications, so Frontier’s fiber network in 25 states is now Verizon-owned, although it is still sold under the Frontier name. On August 20, 2026 Charter completed its purchase of Cox Communications, and on September 16 every former Cox market, from Phoenix and Las Vegas to Rhode Island, switched to Spectrum plans and pricing. Spectrum now covers 45 states, and Cox as a consumer brand is being retired.
The providers on the map
Verizon Fios is fiber to the home in nine states plus Washington, D.C., all along the Northeast corridor, with symmetrical speeds up to 2 Gbps. See the Verizon Fios coverage map for the city-level footprint.
Frontier Fiber is the former GTE and Verizon territory that Frontier built out, now back under Verizon. It reaches parts of 25 states, including Texas, California, Florida and Connecticut, with plans up to 7 Gbps in some markets.
Xfinity is Comcast’s cable network in 39 states plus D.C., strongest in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Cable plans top out at 2 Gbps, and a 10 Gbps fiber plan exists at select addresses. See Xfinity availability by state.
Spectrum is Charter’s cable network, now 45 states after absorbing Cox. Plans run from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, with 2 Gbps in select markets and no data caps. See Spectrum internet availability and, for the former Cox areas, Cox coverage by state.
Why a state is shaded but your address is not covered
The shading answers “is this network in the state at all”, which is a different question from “can I order it”. Cable companies serve the towns where they hold a franchise, fiber builds follow the old telephone-company boundaries, and both skip rural stretches and some apartment buildings. The FCC’s National Broadband Map, which these filings feed, lets you check a single address against every provider that claims to serve it. If the map shows a provider in your state and the provider’s checker says no, you are usually a few streets outside its current build, and asking the provider about a construction request sometimes works.
