Internet in Peoria, Arizona

Peoria's providers and their reach

As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 9 companies report wired or fixed wireless internet at some of Peoria's 74,013 homes and businesses. The FCC counts locations, not households: a house, an apartment building or a shop is one location each. Only Cox reaches nearly all of them, at 95.0%¹.

A provider "reports service" when it tells the FCC it could connect a location within ten business days with a standard installation. Those filings can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map, which is also the place to look up one address. HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink report satellite service at every location and are left out of the provider counts above.

Two fiber networks with little overlap

In the first National Broadband Map, for June 30, 2022, fiber was reported at 28.7%² of Peoria's locations. Four years later the share is 60.8%, a gain of 32.1 percentage points, and 4.5 percentage points¹ of that came after December 31, 2025. Two companies file almost all of it, in roughly equal parts:

• Cox files fiber at 34.5% of locations and cable at the rest of its footprint. It is the only cable company in Peoria's filings, so the city's cable share, 60.6%, is the part of Cox that is not fiber. That share was 94.3%² in 2022 and now ranks 5th lowest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, although Cox's overall reach has not shrunk.
• Wyyerd Connect reported nothing in Peoria in 2022 and now files fiber at 32.7%, with advertised downloads up to 10 Gbps. It is a regional company: 173,691 of the 216,084¹ locations it reports nationwide are in Arizona.

AT&T adds fiber at 6.9%. The three footprints mostly sit side by side rather than on top of each other: only 13.3%¹ of locations have two or more fiber providers.

Behind the newer West Valley cities

Among its West Valley neighbors, Peoria sits in the middle. It has more fiber than Glendale and Phoenix, but Surprise, Goodyear and Buckeye report fiber at most of their locations, and none of them has as large a share of locations without 100/20 service, a gap described further down. Every city in the table uses the same FCC release.

One wired provider at most addresses

Choice grew more slowly than fiber, because the fiber networks rarely overlap with each other and Cox's fiber and cable cover different locations rather than competing. At 51.5% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps, down from 76.5%² in 2022, and at 51.3% that one provider is Cox. Two or more wired choices are reported at 43.7%, above Arizona's 33.1% but well below the US figure of 55.6%¹.

Copper is still in the ground. CenturyLink reports DSL at 65.3% of locations, with a fastest advertised download of 140 Mbps, and reaches 100/20 Mbps at only 6.6%¹.

A late jump in gigabit uploads

The largest change in Peoria's figures is in upload speed. Service of 1 Gbps down and at least 100 Mbps up, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, was advertised at 10.1%² of locations in June 2022 and 68.4% in December 2025. By June 2026 it was 92.7%: a jump of 24.3 percentage points in one release, the 4th highest increase among large cities. Wired 100/100 Mbps service moved the same way, from 66.9%³ to 91.7%¹ over those six months.

The gigabit share is now far wider than the fiber footprint, so it does not come from fiber alone. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 95.2%¹ of locations. These are maximums the providers advertise, not measured speeds.

Where no fast line reaches

Peoria is unusual among large cities for its gaps. 1,846 locations (2.5%) have no wired or fixed wireless provider at 100/20 Mbps, a share that ranks tied for 47th highest among the 343 large cities. 221 locations (0.3%, tied for 8th highest) are reported with satellite service only. Under the federal BEAD definition, no wired or licensed fixed wireless service at 25/3 Mbps, 302 locations are unserved; that share rose 0.3 percentage points since 2022, an increase that ranks tied for 8th highest¹ among large cities.

The wired picture shows the same direction. Wired service at 100/20 Mbps was reported at 99.7%² of locations in 2022 and 95.2% in 2026; as a change, that ranks 11th lowest among large cities. 3,549 locations have no wired provider at that speed, and at 1,703 of them fixed wireless is the only way to reach it. Over the same four years the FCC's count of locations in the city changed by +5,565¹. The figures do not say which streets are affected; the FCC map shows each location.

By Arizona's standards the gaps are small: statewide, 4.2% of locations have no land-based 100/20 service and 0.7%¹ have satellite only.

Wireless companies, local and national

5 companies report licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, a count that ranks tied for 39th highest¹ among large cities. Their reach and their speeds differ:

• T-Mobile reports 70.1% of locations, with an advertised maximum of 100 Mbps and 100/20 Mbps at 13.9%.
• Verizon reports 61.3%, up to 300 Mbps, with 100/20 Mbps at 25.9%.
• WeLink Communications reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 13.8%, advertising 100/20 Mbps or more at all of those locations and up to 2 Gbps. It was not in the 2022 filings.
• Tristate Wi-Fi reports 18.3%, with 100/20 Mbps at 6.9%¹.

More households on phone data than in 2019

The Census Bureau's surveys count households, not locations. In 2025, 80.4% of Peoria households had a cable, fiber or DSL subscription (margin of error ±2.6 percentage points), close to the 81.4% of 2019. What changed is the rest. Households relying only on a cellular data plan rose from 8.4% (±1.3 percentage points) to 14.5% (±3.0 percentage points), and households with no internet subscription fell from 7.9% (±2.2 percentage points⁵) to 2.7% (±1.1 percentage points⁴). In both cases the two ranges do not overlap.
