Fort Lauderdale in Florida
Fort Lauderdale's fiber share rose after 2022, from 42.3%2 of its homes and businesses to 68.5%, almost all of it from one network: AT&T extended its fiber to 67.4%1 of locations. For a household, the wired choice at most locations is Xfinity's cable or AT&T's fiber, and a third wire is almost never reported.
Xfinity's cable and AT&T's fiber
Two networks carry most of Fort Lauderdale's home internet. Xfinity reports service at 99.9% of the city's 48,205 homes and businesses, nearly all of it over cable, and advertises up to 2 Gbps on a small fiber footprint. AT&T reports service at 91.3%: fiber at 67.4% of locations, at up to 5 Gbps1, and older DSL or fixed wireless on the rest.

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) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Each row is a provider's own filing with the FCC for June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), counted over the locations inside Fort Lauderdale's 2020 Census boundary. Being listed means the company says it could connect that location within ten business days; residents who find a listing wrong can dispute it through the FCC map, the place to look up one address.
One fiber network, and a business filing that is not counted
AT&T's fiber, at 67.4% of locations, is nearly all of the city's fiber: any fiber reaches 68.5%, and two or more fiber networks only 0.7%. 61 companies report fiber in all; apart from AT&T, each covers a small fraction of the city. Lightpath, filed under Optimum's name, lists fiber at many Fort Lauderdale buildings, but only as business service, which this page does not count.

Fiber since 2022: one build, one new filing
The first National Broadband Map, dated June 30, 2022, put fiber at 42.3%2 of Fort Lauderdale's locations, nearly all of it AT&T's. Four years later AT&T's fiber alone covers 67.4%, and that expansion explains the climb to 68.5%. Since December 31, 2025, the share has changed by 3.5 percentage points1.

| One wired choice | 51.7% | 31.8% | 29.0% | −22.7 pts |
Three-way wired choice at 100/20 Mbps has not moved: it was 0.1%2 of locations in 2022 and is 0.1%1 now.
Cable uploads caught up with fiber
The largest change in advertised speeds came from cable, not fiber. In the 2022 filing, Xfinity listed its Fort Lauderdale cable network at 1.2 Gbps down and 35 Mbps up. By June 30, 2026, it listed 2 Gbps down with uploads of at least 250 Mbps across most of the city, and 2 Gbps in both directions at a smaller part of it. As a result, gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more (1,000/100) is listed at 97.5% of locations, up from 42.3%, well beyond the reach of fiber. Symmetrical 100/100 Mbps service rose from 42.3%2 to 97.5%1.

| United States | 2.4% | 1.6% | 1.8% | 1.4% | 0.9% | 31.0% | 61.0% |
The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 97.0%1 of locations, against 27.6%2 in 2022. All of these are maximums the providers report, not measured speeds.
How many wired choices a home has
A wired connection of at least 100/20 Mbps is on file at 99.9% of locations, which places Fort Lauderdale tied for 12th highest among large cities. Counting every filer, 70.9% of locations have two or more wired providers at that speed, up +27.4 percentage points since 2022; the Florida figure is 66.0% and the national one 55.6%1.
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.

| Florida | 3.8% | 30.2% | 54.2% | 11.8% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The usual pair is Xfinity and AT&T's fiber, and a third wire at the same address is very rare. Xfinity is the sole wired provider at 100/20 Mbps for 28.9% of locations, most of them addresses where AT&T offers only DSL or fixed wireless below 100/20 Mbps. Its copper network is still widely listed, with DSL at 73.5% of locations, which puts the city tied for 58th highest among large cities on that measure. Just 551 locations lack any wired provider at 100/20 Mbps.
5G home internet from three carriers
Licensed fixed wireless, the FCC category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 93.9% of locations by 3 providers. T-Mobile has the widest footprint, 80.6%, with a top advertised speed of 100 Mbps. Verizon reports 78.6%, about three times as many locations as in 2022, and advertises up to 1 Gbps1. AT&T's fixed wireless covers a smaller share.
Fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or faster reaches 44.8% of locations, against 8.6%2 in 2022: Verizon offers that speed at 27.8% of locations and T-Mobile at 24.2%1. A tower sector's capacity is shared by every home it serves, so the carriers approve sign-ups one address at a time; a reported footprint does not mean every home inside it can join.
Subscriptions rose sharply after 2019
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey measures households rather than locations, and between 2019 and 2025 it recorded a steep drop in Fort Lauderdale households with no internet plan: from 13.8% (margin of error ±2.8 percentage points) to 2.9% (±1.0 percentage points). Over the same years, the share paying for cable, fiber or DSL went from 70.6% (±2.7 percentage points4) to 84.2% (±3.1 percentage points). In 2025, 11.7%5 relied on a cellular data plan alone.

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.

| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 11.7% | ±2.5 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 2.9% | ±1.0 |
Single-year estimates for one city move around. The five-year survey for 2020–2024, which pools more responses, puts households without a subscription at 8.2% (±1.0 percentage points6).

Checking one address in Fort Lauderdale
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.
