Mesa in Arizona
Four years ago Mesa was largely a one-wire city. In June 2022, fiber was reported at 9.4% of its homes and businesses and 83.0%2 had a single wired option at 100/20 Mbps. By June 30, 2026, Google Fiber had arrived, AT&T had both built fiber and bought CenturyLink's, fiber was reported at 58.6%, and the single-wire share had fallen to 34.5%1.
Mesa's providers, by share of locations
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), Cox is still the most widespread wired provider in Mesa: it reports service at 86.5% of the city's 184,397 homes and businesses, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or more. The difference from four years ago is what sits beside it. AT&T reports fiber at 27.8% of locations and Google Fiber at 33.5%1. Google Fiber reported no service in the city in June 2022. AT&T did not either, but its network here includes the Quantum Fiber business that Lumen, CenturyLink's parent, sold to AT&T on February 2, 2026; in 2022 CenturyLink filed fiber at a much smaller part of Mesa.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of the area's broadband serviceable locations where the provider reports service as of June 30, 2026. "Only wired option" is the share of locations where it is the single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. Provider-reported and challengeable; speeds are advertised maximums, not measured; no prices. Satellite providers (HughesNet, Viasat, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Each share is the part of the city's locations where a company tells the FCC it provides service or could install it within ten business days. Filings can be challenged on the FCC map, and they say nothing about prices. The figures cover Mesa's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census.
Fiber now reaches most of the city
In June 2022 Mesa had less fiber than Arizona as a whole: 9.4% of locations, against 14.4%2 statewide. By June 2026 the city's share was 58.6%, a rise of 49.1 percentage points that ranks 34th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Arizona reached 41.5%. The increase continued in the latest half-year, by 3.5 percentage points1 since December 31, 2025.
The new fiber comes from several companies, each with its own footprint:
- Google Fiber reports fiber at 33.5% of locations, with advertised downloads of up to 8 Gbps. Mesa holds most of the company's Arizona footprint: 61,865 of the 79,084 Arizona locations where it reports service.
- AT&T reports fiber at 27.8%, also advertised at up to 8 Gbps.
- Cox reports fiber at 9.9% of locations and cable across most of the rest of its footprint. Cable's share of the city fell from 93.1%2 to 76.6%; locations Cox files as fiber are not counted as cable.
- FiberFirst reports fiber at 9.1%, and Utah Broadband at 2.4%1.
The city still sits below the median large city (74.0%) and below the US (62.6%): its fiber share ranks 113th lowest among large cities. Where the networks overlap, a location has more than one fiber provider: that is true at 20.0% of Mesa's locations, against 7.7% statewide and 12.1%1 nationally.

The single wire gave way to a choice
The new networks changed how many wired options a location has. In June 2022, 83.0% of Mesa's locations had exactly one wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps and 13.6%2 had two or more. By June 2026 the single-wire share was 34.5% and the two-or-more share 55.7%, a rise of 42.1 percentage points that ranks 36th highest among large cities. The average location now has 1.651 wired providers at that speed.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One wired choice | 83.0% | 37.8% | 34.5% | −48.4 pts |

| Fiber available | 9.4% | 55.1% | 58.6% | 49.1 pts |
Cox remains the only wired 100/20 option at 30.9% of locations, and Mesa's two-or-more share is now a little above the US (55.6%) and well above Arizona (33.1%). Where Cox does not report service, the picture is different: at 2.3%1 of the city's locations, Utah Broadband's fiber is the only wired 100/20 option.
Mesa beside its East Valley neighbors
Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale share Mesa's largest provider, Cox, but not its pace. Every one of them had a higher fiber share than Mesa in June 2022; by June 2026, only Scottsdale was close. Mesa also has the largest share of locations with two or more fiber networks among the five, and the smallest single-wire share. Google Fiber, the largest of Mesa's new fiber networks, reports service at 6.1%1 of Chandler's locations.

The Phoenix page covers the larger city to the west, and the Arizona page maps every county, including Maricopa County, where Mesa sits.
The locations with no fast wired line
For a city this built up, an unusual share of Mesa has no wired service at 100/20 Mbps at all: 18,065 locations, or 9.8%, a share that ranks the highest among large cities. That share fell by 0.3 percentage points in the latest half-year, and the matching rise in wired 100/20 coverage ranks tied for 25th highest1 among large cities.
Most of those locations still have a fast connection of another kind. 12,840 have fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps but no wired line at that speed, 5,225 have no terrestrial service at 100/20 Mbps, and 178 have only satellite. Under the definitions of the federal BEAD program, 352 locations in the city count as unserved and 1,212 underserved. Statewide, 12.7%1 of Arizona's locations lack a wired 100/20 option, so Mesa's gap is small by Arizona standards and large by big-city ones.
Copper and wireless alongside
The filings also show more copper and faster wireless. DSL over copper telephone lines, almost all of it CenturyLink's, is reported at 73.5% of locations, up from 59.3%2 in June 2022; CenturyLink's fastest advertised DSL download is 140 Mbps, and it offers 100/20 Mbps at 6.1%1 of locations.
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 94.5% of locations by 7 companies, a count tied for 2nd highest among large cities. At 100/20 Mbps it reaches 72.0%, up from 27.4%2 in 2022. Verizon offers 100/20 Mbps at 45.8% of locations and T-Mobile at 25.2%. AT&T offers 100/20 Mbps at 40.9%, more than its fiber share, because part of its fixed wireless service is reported at that speed. Local operators add more: Tristate Wi-Fi by Wi-Fiber reports 54.8% of locations and CopperNet Systems 15.2%1. Fixed wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so reported availability is not a guarantee that every home on a street can sign up.

Checking one address in Mesa
The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
