Internet in Cape Coral, Florida
Fiber is available at 94.0% of the 91,459 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Cape Coral, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.7%. 91.2% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 8.4% there is only one.1

Cape Coral in Florida
Most addresses in Cape Coral have two wired networks: Xfinity's cable and a fiber network that AT&T now files with the FCC. Fiber reaches 94.0% of the city's homes and businesses as of June 30, 2026, against 68.4%1 across Florida. Most of that fiber was already on the map in 2022, filed then by CenturyLink.
Two networks cover the city
Two companies report wired service almost everywhere in Cape Coral. Xfinity reaches 98.5% of the city's 91,459 homes and businesses, mostly over cable, with fiber at 9.6%. AT&T reports service at 95.6%, and fiber at 92.2%. Three smaller companies report fiber in small parts of the city: Blue Stream at 1.4% of locations, Hotwire Communications at 129 locations and Summit Broadband at 111.

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, Starlink, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
The table lists what each provider filed with the FCC as of June 30, 2026, in the revision of November 10, 2026, for the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. A location counts as covered when the provider says it could connect it within ten business days for a standard installation; the claims can be challenged. HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink report satellite service at every location, as they do across the country.
The fiber network that changed filer
Fiber is not new in Cape Coral. In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, it was already reported at 81.9%2 of locations, most of it filed by CenturyLink, and AT&T reported no service in the city. In the December 31, 2025 files AT&T reported only fixed wireless, while CenturyLink filed fiber across most of Cape Coral.
Lumen, CenturyLink's parent company, completed the sale of its consumer fiber-to-the-home business in eleven states, including Quantum Fiber, to AT&T on February 2, 2026, and kept its copper-based consumer services, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The June 30, 2026 files match that split. AT&T now files the fiber, and CenturyLink reports only DSL, at 5.9%1 of locations and with no service at 100/20 Mbps. Set the 2022 and 2026 filings side by side and AT&T looks like a newcomer; the network changed filer more than it changed footprint.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Some of it did grow. The fiber share rose by 12.1 percentage points between June 2022 and June 2026, while the city's count of locations grew by 11,562. Over the same four years, DSL fell from 33.9%2 of locations to 5.9%. Between December 2025 and June 2026 the fiber share slipped by 0.6 percentage points, to 94.0%1.
Gigabit with fast uploads, from none to nearly all
The sharpest change in Cape Coral's filings is in speed tiers, not coverage. The FCC's gigabit tier, 1,000/100 Mbps, needs a download of at least 1 Gbps and an upload of at least 100 Mbps. In June 2022 it was reported at 0.0% of Cape Coral's locations, although fiber already reached 81.9%. The fiber was filed at speeds that missed the test, and at 97.5%2 of locations the fastest download on file fell in the band from just under 1 Gbps to just under 2 Gbps. By June 2026, 1,000/100 was advertised at 96.4%. The rise of 96.4 percentage points ranks 16th highest1 among the 343 large cities.

| United States | 2.4% | 1.6% | 1.8% | 1.4% | 0.9% | 31.0% | 61.0% |
Top tiers went higher still. A fastest download of 2 Gbps or more is advertised at 84.3% of locations, though that share was 94.1%3 in December 2025, when CenturyLink still filed the fiber. Service of 100 Mbps in both directions reaches 97.4%, up from 76.2%2. AT&T and Hotwire advertise up to 8 Gbps, Blue Stream up to 2.5 Gbps, Xfinity up to 2 Gbps1. All of these are maximums the providers advertise, not measured speeds.
Exactly two wired choices, rarely three
Ask how many wired providers serve one Cape Coral address and the answer is usually two. Exactly two wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps at 89.8% of locations, a share that ranks tied for 13th highest among large cities, and three or more at only 1.4%. Two or more fiber networks overlap at 9.3%1.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
In June 2022, 33.3% of locations had exactly one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; by June 2026 the share was 8.4%. Cable spread too, from 78.6%2 of locations to 89.0%, and on that measure the city still ranks tied for 42nd lowest among large cities. Where only one wire offers 100/20 Mbps, it is usually Xfinity's: it is the sole wired provider at that speed for 7.3% of locations, AT&T for 1.0%1.
Next door, Fort Myers looks different
Cape Coral's figures stand out most beside its neighbor. In Fort Myers, fiber is reported at 55.0% of locations and a single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps at 53.8%; CenturyLink still reports service at 43.7% of locations there. Across Lee County, which contains both cities, fiber reaches 69.9%1 of locations. In the table below, Palm Coast's shares are the closest to Cape Coral's.

The few addresses without a fast wire
The gaps are small but measurable. At 303 homes and businesses no wired provider reports 100/20 Mbps. 232 locations are unserved by the federal BEAD program's definition, with no wired or licensed fixed wireless service of at least 25/3 Mbps, and 124 are reported with satellite service only. The satellite-only share, 0.1%, is small, yet it ranks tied for 24th highest1 among the large cities.

Fixed wireless: wide reach, slower filings
The cellular carriers report home internet across much of the city, mostly below 100/20 Mbps. T-Mobile reports fixed wireless at 82.5% of locations, with 100/20 at 6.6% and advertised downloads up to 100 Mbps. Verizon reports 58.9%, with 100/20 at 20.5% and downloads up to 300 Mbps. Ethx, a smaller wireless provider, reports 5.1%1, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or more. Carriers decide eligibility address by address, because a tower sector's capacity is shared.

Checking one address in Cape Coral
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.
