New Haven in Connecticut
Since 2022 New Haven has gone from one fast wire at many addresses to three at nearly half of them. In the first National Broadband Map, 44.8%2 of its homes and businesses had a single wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps; as of June 30, 2026 that share is 12.8%, and 46.2%1 have three or more. Xfinity's cable network still reaches almost every address, with Frontier and GoNetspeed fiber now alongside it.
Xfinity, Frontier and GoNetspeed
Three companies carry nearly all wired home internet inside New Haven's city limits, and together they offer 100/20 Mbps or more at 99.9% of its 21,673 homes and businesses. Xfinity is the near-universal network: it reports service at 99.8% of locations, almost entirely over cable, with advertised downloads up to 2 Gbps. Frontier reports fiber at 82.4% of locations, up to 7 Gbps, and DSL over copper phone lines at 11.8%. GoNetspeed reports fiber at 50.9%, up to 6 Gbps1.

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 (Starlink, HughesNet, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
All figures are the providers' own filings to the FCC as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), counted for locations inside the city limits used in the 2020 Census. A location is a house, an apartment building or a business, not a household. "Available" means the provider says it could install service within ten business days; filings can be challenged, and the FCC map shows what is reported at a single address.
What changed since June 2022
Most of this fiber is new. In the FCC's first release, as of June 30, 2022, fiber from any provider reached 54.2% of New Haven's locations, two or more fiber networks only 9.5%, and three or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps 9.5%2. GoNetspeed and AT&T reported no service in the city then. By June 30, 2026, fiber reached 87.2%, a rise of 33.0 percentage points, and the share with two or more fiber networks had risen 36.7 percentage points to 46.2%, a share that ranks 32nd highest1 among large cities.

The FCC's count of locations is updated with each release, so shares are compared rather than counts.

DSL shrank while fiber spread: it was reported at 36.4% of locations in 2022 and at 11.8% in 2026. The number of companies did not grow. 52 wired providers reported service in 2022 and 4 do now, but Frontier reports fiber across far more of the city than in 2022, and GoNetspeed entered. Between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 little moved: the three-or-more share was essentially unchanged (0.0 percentage points1).
Three or more wired choices at nearly half of addresses
At 46.2% of New Haven's locations, three or more different wired providers report 100/20 Mbps service, the 47th highest share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Connecticut as a whole is at 37.8%, already 2nd highest among the states, and the national figure is 11.1%. Another 40.9%1 of the city's locations have two wired choices at that speed.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Different wired providers (fiber, cable or DSL; FCC provider IDs) reporting 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up or more at the same location. Fixed wireless and satellite are not counted.

The single-wire remainder is small. At 2,778 locations, 12.8% of the city, only one wired provider reports 100/20 Mbps, and in almost all of them that provider is Xfinity (sole wired option at 12.8%). Across Connecticut, 17.9% of locations are in that position. 271 locations in New Haven have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps, and none relies on satellite alone.
Among Connecticut's cities of 100,000 or more, only Bridgeport has a higher three-or-more share, at 68.6%, and Waterbury is close at 41.0%; in Hartford (6.2%) and Stamford (0.0%) the common case is two wired choices, at 68.6% and 78.9%1 of locations.

Faster uploads, multi-gigabit tiers
In 2022 the fastest advertised download at 66.2% of locations was in the gigabit class, between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps. As of June 30, 2026, the fastest advertised tier is 2 Gbps or more at 96.9% of locations. The larger change is in uploads. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or more went from 56.0%2 of locations to 96.9%, and gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (1,000/100) is reported at 96.9%1. These are maximum speeds that providers advertise, not measurements.

Fixed wireless: wide footprint, fewer fast addresses
3 mobile carriers report licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, at 89.8% of locations. T-Mobile reports the widest footprint, 81.5% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 25.4%. AT&T, new to the city's filings since 2022 and present here only through fixed wireless, reports 51.5%, with 100/20 at 4.0%. Verizon reports 11.2% and the highest advertised wireless download, 300 Mbps1.
Fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps from any carrier fell from 56.3%3 of locations in the December 2025 data to 34.1%, the 55th lowest1 share among large cities. A tower sector's capacity is shared by everyone on it, so carriers limit sign-ups by address, and their filings can change from one release to the next.

Subscriptions caught up with the state
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey measures something else: what households pay for. In 2025, 94.1% of New Haven households had a broadband subscription of any kind (margin of error ±2.7 percentage points), statistically indistinguishable from Connecticut's 94.3%. In 2019 the city's estimate was 86.3% (±2.9 percentage points), below the state's 88.5%, and the share with no subscription at all has fallen from 13.5% (±2.9 percentage points5) to 5.9% (±2.6 percentage points4). The ranges around those two estimates do not overlap, so the decline is unlikely to be sampling noise.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2025 1-year detailed tables. 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) | 99.9% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 78.8% | ±3.8 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 12.0% | ±3.1 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 5.9% | ±2.6 |
In the 2025 survey, 78.8% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±3.8 percentage points), close to the state's 80.3%, and 12.0%4 relied only on a cellular data plan. The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two sources do not combine into an exact count of homes without service.

Checking one address in New Haven
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.
