Home internet in Pueblo, Colorado

Cable, fiber and wireless providers in Pueblo

The FCC counts 42,373 homes and businesses inside Pueblo's city limits (as drawn for the 2020 Census). As of June 30, 2026, in the file revision of November 10, 2026, 10 ground-based providers report service at some of them, 6 over cable, fiber or copper. Xfinity is the one wired network at nearly every location, at 99.5% of locations with downloads advertised up to 2 Gbps. Intrepid Fiber Networks has the next-largest wired footprint, fiber at 80.3%¹.

"Reports service" means the provider told the FCC it offers service there, or could install it within ten business days of a request. Each share describes the city as a whole; anyone can check, and challenge, the listing for a single address on the FCC map.

Fiber since 2022: Intrepid, AT&T and local networks

Few large cities have added as much fiber since the national map began. At least one provider reported fiber at 12.7%² of Pueblo's locations in June 2022, 80.5%⁴ in December 2025 and 85.0% in June 2026. The rise of 72.4 percentage points is the 14th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and it puts Pueblo above Colorado's 59.7%¹.

Two companies account for most of the new fiber. Intrepid Fiber Networks reported no Pueblo locations in 2022 and now reports fiber at 34,014, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or faster with downloads up to 2 Gbps. That is a large part of the 103,998 Colorado locations where Intrepid reports service; outside Colorado it reports service only in Minnesota. AT&T reports fiber at 17.6% of locations with downloads advertised up to 8 Gbps¹. It is not a new network: in the FCC's location files nearly all of those Pueblo locations were filed by CenturyLink under the Quantum Fiber brand in December 2025, and in June 2022 CenturyLink reported fiber at only a few hundred locations in the city. The Denver page explains how the Quantum Fiber filings passed to AT&T.

Two more companies report fiber alongside copper or wireless networks. SECOM, which reports service only in Colorado, has fiber at 12.2% of Pueblo's locations, and CenturyLink at 10.3%. Where the networks overlap, 31.4% of locations now have two or more fiber providers, against 0.0% in 2022. CenturyLink's DSL over copper telephone lines is shrinking: DSL was reported at 88.5%² of locations in 2022 and at 69.3%¹ now, and it reaches 100/20 Mbps almost nowhere.

Xfinity is now rarely the only fast wire

In June 2022, 83.1%² of Pueblo's locations had exactly one wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. That share is now 14.7%, and Xfinity is the only wired provider at that speed at 14.6% of locations. Two or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps are reported at 84.9% of locations, against 57.0% across Colorado; the increase of 72.5 percentage points since 2022 is the 11th highest¹ among large cities.

Advertised speeds rose over the same period. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) was advertised at 12.4%² of locations in 2022 and at 96.3% in 2026, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service now reaches 96.4%. At 95.7%¹ of locations the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more. These are maximums providers advertise, not measured speeds.

Wired networks everywhere, wired subscriptions less often

Availability is only half of the picture. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey asks households what they actually subscribe to, and Pueblo's answers stand out among large cities:

• 67.0% of households had a cable, fiber or DSL subscription in 2025 (margin of error ±3.5 percentage points), the 3rd lowest share among large cities by point estimate. Across Colorado the share is 79.0%.
• 21.3% relied only on a cellular data plan (margin ±4.1 percentage points), the 9th highest share, against 11.2% statewide.
• 8.3% had no internet subscription at all (margin ±2.4 percentage points), against 4.4%³ statewide.

Availability is a share of locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC); subscriptions are a share of households from the American Community Survey, 2025 (whiskers: 90% margin of error). Different units and dates: read the gap as a sign, not an exact number.

Measure	Share	MOE
Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations)	99.6%
Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census)	67.0%	±3.5
Households relying only on a cellular data plan	21.3%	±4.1
Households with no internet subscription	8.3%	±2.4

The share without any subscription has fallen since the 2019 survey, when it was 18.6% (margin ±3.3 percentage points); the two ranges do not overlap. The share with a wired subscription, 64.1%⁵ in 2019, has not moved by more than the margins of error. The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two sources cannot be subtracted from each other; together they show a city where wired service is offered almost everywhere and bought less often than across Colorado as a whole.

Fixed wireless reaches almost every address

Licensed fixed wireless, the FCC category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 98.7% of Pueblo's locations, a share that ranks tied for 29th highest among large cities. Verizon reports it at 86.5% of locations, up from a few thousand in 2022, and T-Mobile at 80.7%; each offers 100/20 Mbps at a smaller share, 42.3% and 22.5%¹. AT&T's wireless service adds coverage beyond its fiber.

Two operators that report service only in Colorado run their own wireless networks. Kellin Communications reports service at 67.7% of locations, all at 100/20 Mbps or faster, with downloads advertised up to 550 Mbps; in 2022 it reported a single Pueblo location. SECOM's fixed wireless and fiber together put it at 88.1% of the city. Rise Broadband reports 46.2%, with 100/20 Mbps at 13.4%¹. A wireless sector's capacity is shared, so these figures show where service is reported, not where every household could sign up at once.

The few gaps inside the city, and Pueblo County beyond it

Inside the city limits, 159 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; 154 of them reach that speed by fixed wireless, and 5 have no ground-based provider at 100/20 Mbps. No location depends on satellite alone. Under the BEAD program's definitions, 39 locations count as unserved and 21¹ as underserved.

The gaps are larger in the county around the city. Across Pueblo County's 67,550 locations, fiber reaches 72.1%, and 1,045 locations (1.6%¹) are unserved. The Colorado page maps every county; Colorado Springs, the nearest large city to the north, has its own page.
