Miami Gardens in Florida
Nearly every home and business in Miami Gardens can get two wired networks: Xfinity's cable and AT&T's fiber, which now reaches 95.4%1 of locations against 49.3%2 for all fiber in 2022. The households tell a different story. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 32.7%3 of households relied on a cellular data plan alone, the highest point estimate of any large US city.

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) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
These are the providers' own filings to the FCC as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026), for the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. "Available" means a provider says it could connect a location within ten business days, and anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC map. A location is a house, an apartment building or a business, not a household.
AT&T's fiber reached almost the whole city after 2022
In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, fiber from any provider was reported at 49.3% of Miami Gardens locations. AT&T alone now reports fiber at 95.4%, nearly double that 2022 total. The city-wide fiber share rose by 46.1 percentage points over the four years, the 42nd highest increase among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, while DSL, all of it on AT&T's copper lines, slipped only from 78.1%2 to 75.2%1 of locations.
Upload speeds moved with it. Gigabit downloads with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, were advertised at 49.3%2 of locations in 2022 and at 99.3% now. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 98.8% of locations; AT&T lists up to 5 Gbps on fiber and Xfinity up to 2 Gbps1. These are advertised maximums, not measured speeds.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber available | 49.3% | 94.7% | 95.4% | 46.1 pts |

| Two or more wired choices | 51.3% | 94.7% | 95.5% | 44.1 pts |
Almost none of that fiber overlaps: two or more fiber networks are on file at 0.0% of locations, against 10.4%1 across Florida. Lightpath also files fiber in the city under Optimum's provider ID, but every one of those listings is coded as business-only service and is left out of the figures here.
Two wires at nearly every address
Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.9% of locations, a share tied for 12th highest among large cities. Only 4.5% have a single wired provider at that speed, down from 46.2%2 in 2022, and at nearly all of those the one provider is Xfinity (sole at 4.2%). Statewide, 66.0% of Florida locations have two or more wired choices, against 95.5%1 here.
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.

| Area | None | One | Two | Three or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Gardens | 0.1% | 4.5% | 95.4% | 0.1% |
| Florida | 3.8% | 30.2% | 54.2% | 11.8% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
Three or more wired providers are reported at only 0.1%1 of locations. For a home, the practical choice at most addresses is between Xfinity's cable and AT&T's fiber, with fixed wireless as a third option.
Verizon and T-Mobile home internet
Fixed wireless from the mobile carriers is reported at 97.7% of locations. Verizon reports it at 94.4% and offers 100/20 Mbps at 50.7%; T-Mobile reports 85.2%, with 100/20 at 5.4%. The share of locations with licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 or faster rose from 9.4%2 in 2022 to 55.3%1. AT&T also lists fixed wireless in parts of the city. Capacity on a wireless network is shared, and carriers decide sign-ups address by address, so these shares show where service is reported, not where every household could join at once.
A third of households online by phone plan alone
The networks reach nearly everyone; the subscriptions do not follow them. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 59.3% of Miami Gardens households had a cable, fiber or DSL subscription (margin of error ±4.8 percentage points), the lowest share among large cities by point estimate, against 78.5% for Florida. 32.7% relied only on a cellular data plan (±6.0 percentage points), the highest share, against 13.0% statewide. And 24.3% had a smartphone as their only computer (±5.1 percentage points), also the highest3 among large cities.

The change since 2019 runs through phones, not wires. In the 2019 survey, 26.9% of households had no internet subscription (±5.9 percentage points); in 2025 the figure was 5.7% (±2.4 percentage points). Over the same years, cellular-only households went from 8.8% (±2.5 percentage points) to 32.7%3, while the wired share, 59.9% in 2019 (±3.6 percentage points5), shows no change outside the margins. The survey's five-year estimate for 2020–2024 puts wired subscriptions at 66.9% (±2.2 percentage points6), also well below the state.

The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two cannot be subtracted to give a number of homes that pass up a wire. The data show the pattern, not its reasons.

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.
