Hialeah in Florida
Hialeah runs on two wired networks: AT&T's fiber, reported at 83.4% of its homes and businesses, and Xfinity's cable, at 93.7%1. Since 2022 the bigger change has been in uploads rather than coverage, as Xfinity's filing moved most of its network from slow cable uploads to more than 100 Mbps. Households changed too: in the Census survey, the share with no internet subscription fell from a quarter to a small minority.
AT&T fiber and Xfinity cable at most locations
Two companies account for almost all wired service in Hialeah. AT&T reports service at 96.2% of the city's 38,051 homes and businesses, with fiber at 83.4% and an advertised maximum of 5 Gbps. Xfinity reports service at 93.7%, with a top advertised download of 2 Gbps1. The other wired filers, US New Era Fiber, Breezeline and Hotwire Communications, each reach fewer than one location in a hundred.

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 comes from provider filings to the FCC as of June 30, 2026, revision of November 10, 2026, for locations inside Hialeah's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. A provider files a location as served when it says it can install service there within ten business days; residents can challenge a filing on the FCC map, which is also where a single address can be checked.
Fiber from one network
Fiber from any provider is reported at 83.9% of locations, against AT&T's 83.4%, so AT&T's network is nearly all of it. Two or more fiber networks reach only 0.1% of locations, against 10.4% statewide, and three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps 0.1%1. Lightpath, filed under Optimum's name, lists fiber at many Hialeah buildings, but only as business service, which this page does not count.
Wired choices at one address
Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.9% of locations; among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Hialeah ranks tied for 12th highest on that measure. Two or more wired providers at that speed are reported at 79.3%, against 66.0%1 for Florida, almost always AT&T fiber and Xfinity cable at the same address.
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.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
One wired provider at 100/20 Mbps is the situation at 20.6% of locations, down from 39.3%2 in June 2022. At most of them the single wire is Xfinity, the only wired 100/20 provider at 14.4% of the city's locations; AT&T is the only one at 6.2%. Only 54 locations have no wired provider at that speed, and 331 have no terrestrial provider at 100/20 Mbps at all.
The change since 2022 was in uploads
In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, Xfinity's cable filing in Hialeah listed uploads well below 100 Mbps almost everywhere. In the June 2026 filing, most of its cable network lists uploads above 100 Mbps. That change, more than new fiber, moved the FCC's gigabit measure, 1 Gbps download with at least 100 Mbps upload, from 73.6% of locations to 99.2%, and service of at least 100 Mbps in both directions from 73.6%2 to 99.2%. In 2022 both measures were close to AT&T's fiber footprint; now they cover nearly the whole city. Florida's gigabit share is 76.9%1.

| One wired choice | 39.3% | 21.3% | 20.6% | −18.7 pts |
Fiber coverage grew more slowly, by 10.3 percentage points since 2022, from 73.6%2 to 83.9%, almost all of it AT&T adding fiber at more addresses. Cable coverage rose by 13.8 percentage points as Xfinity reported service at more locations, though at 93.5% it remains a share that ranks 79th lowest1 among large cities. These are advertised maximums from the filings, not measured speeds.
AT&T's copper is still on file
AT&T reports DSL at 78.5% of Hialeah's locations, the 30th highest share among large cities and well above Florida's 43.5%. The DSL share has hardly moved since 2022, a change of −0.4 percentage points1. Much of that copper sits at addresses where AT&T also reports fiber, so the two technologies overlap in the filings. AT&T advertises its DSL at up to 100 Mbps here, and most of its DSL listings fall short of 100/20 Mbps. Where AT&T has copper but no fiber, Xfinity is usually the only wire that reaches that speed.

Fixed wireless and 5G home internet
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 92.0% of locations, but by only 3 providers, tied for 2nd lowest count among large cities. T-Mobile has the widest footprint, 85.7%, with a top advertised download of 100 Mbps and 100/20 Mbps at 15.4% of locations. Verizon reports 66.4%, up to 1 Gbps, and 100/20 Mbps at 40.4%1. In 2022 Verizon reported service at only a small fraction of the city. AT&T's own fixed wireless covers a smaller area.
Fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 50.4%1 of locations, up from 10.9%2 in 2022. A carrier's footprint is where it reports it can serve; tower capacity is shared, so not every address inside it can sign up.
Phone-only and satellite households
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts households, not locations, and its estimates carry margins of error. In 2025, 3.8% of Hialeah households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.3 percentage points), against 25.0% (±3.1 percentage points) in 2019. Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 65.0% (±1.9 percentage points5) to 77.5% (±3.3 percentage points), close to Florida's 78.5%4.

| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 15.7% | ±2.8 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 3.8% | ±1.3 |
Two other answers stand out. 18.9% of households used only a smartphone to go online (±3.0 percentage points), tied for 12th highest among large cities and about double Florida's 9.4%; 15.7% relied on a cellular data plan alone, up from 8.4%5 in 2019, and the margins do not overlap. And 27.7% of households said they subscribe to satellite internet (±2.9 percentage points), the highest share among large cities by point estimate, against 6.1%4 statewide. The survey records what households report, and a household can name more than one type of service. The FCC data show satellite as the only option at 81 locations in the city.
