Internet in Scottsdale, Arizona
Fiber is available at 53.2% of the 103,125 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Scottsdale, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 94.9%. 28.7% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 66.2% there is only one.1

Scottsdale in Arizona
Scottsdale has more fiber than Arizona as a whole and fewer wired choices than almost any large American city. Fiber reaches 53.2% of its homes and businesses, but most of it is filed by Cox, the city's cable company, and at 65.9% of locations Cox is still the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. The newest wire, BAM Broadband, reports service at 25.5%1.
Who files service in Scottsdale
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 12 companies report fixed service on the ground in Scottsdale, by wire or by fixed wireless, and 6 of them are wired. One reaches nearly everyone: Cox files service at 94.5% of the city's 103,125 homes and businesses, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or faster, with advertised downloads of up to 2 Gbps1. The next three names by reach are T-Mobile, AT&T and CenturyLink, and none of them offers 100/20 Mbps at even half of the city's locations.

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 (Viasat, Starlink, HughesNet) 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 says it could install service within ten business days. It is self-reported, can be challenged on the FCC map, and says nothing about prices or about any one street.
Fiber without a second wire
Fiber is reported at 53.2% of Scottsdale locations, up from 49.0%2 in June 2022. That is above Arizona (41.5%) but below the US (62.6%) and the median city of 100,000 or more (74.0%1). Three filers account for nearly all of it:
- Cox files fiber at 35.1% of locations. For those homes, fiber replaced Cox cable rather than adding a competitor to it.
- BAM Broadband files fiber at 13.6%, with advertised downloads of up to 8 Gbps.
- AT&T files fiber at 9.9%, up to 2 Gbps1.
Because the largest fiber network belongs to the company that already serves almost everyone, a high fiber share does not translate into choice. At 66.2% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps, the 27th highest share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Only 28.7% have two or more (22nd lowest), against 33.1% statewide, 55.6% nationally and 76.8%1 in the median large city.

Where a second wire exists, it is BAM's fiber, AT&T's fiber or CenturyLink's faster DSL lines, which reach 100/20 Mbps at 6.1% of locations. Two separate fiber networks meet at 5.3%1.
Cable's share fell; Cox's reach did not
Cable is reported at 59.5% of Scottsdale locations, the 4th lowest share among large cities. In June 2022 it was 98.6%2. The drop is a change in how Cox files, not a retreat: in 2022 Cox reported cable at nearly every location it served, including those where it also reported fiber. In June 2026 its cable share (59.5%) and fiber share (35.1%) add up to its total (94.5%1), so each location is now counted under one technology.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cable available | 98.6% | 58.2% | 59.5% | −39.1 pts |

| Two or more wired choices | 15.3% | 26.4% | 28.7% | 13.4 pts |
The copper network moved the other way. DSL is reported at 78.2% of locations, up from 64.5%2 in 2022, a share that ranks tied for 32nd highest1 among large cities. Nearly all of it is filed by CenturyLink. CenturyLink also filed fiber in Scottsdale in 2022 and in December 2025. In the June 2026 data it files none, and AT&T, which filed no fiber in the city six months earlier, files the fiber shown above.
BAM Broadband, the wire that added choice
BAM Broadband did not appear in the June 2022 data. It now reports service at 25.5% of Scottsdale locations, all at 100/20 Mbps or more: fiber at 13.6% and unlicensed fixed wireless at the rest. The company reports service in only 2 states, Colorado and Arizona, and Scottsdale holds 26,293 of its 53,7391 Arizona locations.
Over the same four years, the share of Scottsdale locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps rose from 15.3% to 28.7%, and the share with two fiber networks from 0.8%2 to 5.3%1.
Two gigabits down, and uploads to match
Advertised speeds changed more than coverage did. In June 2022, the fastest wired or wireless offer at 98.8% of locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps; by June 2026, 92.5% had an offer of 2 Gbps or more. The bigger change was in uploads. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) was advertised at 0.4%2 of locations in 2022, 60.6% in December 2025 and 91.4% in June 2026. The jump in the last six months alone, 30.8 percentage points, was the 3rd highest among large cities. Symmetrical wired service of at least 100/100 Mbps went from 56.4%3 to 89.3%1 over the same six months. Across the Valley, the 1,000/100 tier now reaches most locations in every large Cox city shown below.

Addresses without a fast wired line
A small part of the city has no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps: 5,313 locations, or 5.2%, a share that ranks tied for 14th highest among large cities. Most of them, 2,973 locations, have fixed wireless at that speed instead. As a share of the city (2.9%), that ranks 20th highest among large cities, though it is below Arizona's 8.5%. Another 621 locations are reported to have only satellite.
Fixed wireless is filed across the city. 4 companies report licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, up from 42 in 2022. T-Mobile reports it at 77.9% of locations and offers 100/20 Mbps at 33.7%; Verizon reports 71.2%, with 100/20 Mbps at 38.4%. Most of AT&T's footprint in the city is also fixed wireless. Local operators on unlicensed spectrum cover smaller areas: Tristate Wi-Fi by Wi-Fiber at 7.8%, Mojo Broadband at 5.7%, AirFiber WISP at 4.8% and GeoLinks at 0.6%1. A fixed wireless filing marks where a company says it can connect a home; carriers still accept or decline orders one address at a time, depending on capacity.
| Measure | Scottsdale | Arizona | United States | Rank among largest cities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No wired choice | 5.2% | 12.7% | 7.8% | 15th of 343 |

Outside the city limits the gaps are wider: Maricopa County counts 0.7%1 of its locations as unserved, and the Arizona page maps every county. City figures follow Scottsdale's limits as drawn for the 2020 Census.
Subscriptions are near universal
The Census Bureau's surveys count households, not locations. In the 2025 one-year survey, 97.6% of Scottsdale households had a broadband subscription of some kind, but the margin of error is wide (±1.1 percentage points); the 2020–2024 five-year estimate, 96.2% (±0.5 percentage points5), has a narrower margin. Two shifts since 2019 are larger than their margins. Households relying only on a cellular data plan rose from 6.6% to 12.9% (margin ±2.2 percentage points), and households with no internet subscription fell from 6.4%6 to 2.4% (margin ±1.1 percentage points). 82.5%4 subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL.

Checking one address in Scottsdale
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.
