Miami in Florida
For a Miami home, the wired choice at most locations is Xfinity's cable network or AT&T's fiber. Fiber reaches 76.8%1 of homes and businesses, almost all of it AT&T's, and a second fiber network or a third wire is rare. Meanwhile the share of households on a phone plan alone has roughly doubled since 2019.
Xfinity, AT&T and the wireless carriers
Two companies run the wired networks that reach most Miami homes. Xfinity reports service at 99.8% of the city's 62,442 homes and businesses, nearly all of it over cable. AT&T reports service at 94.2%; its fiber covers 76.3% of locations, and the rest of its footprint is older DSL or fixed wireless. Breezeline (2.3%) and Hotwire Communications (0.3%1) report service at small shares of locations.

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.
These are provider filings to the FCC as of June 30, 2026, in the revision of November 10, 2026, for locations inside Miami's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. A provider lists a location when it says it can install service there within ten business days, and anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC map. The map is also where one address can be checked; this page describes the city.
One fiber network, rarely two
At least one provider reports fiber at 76.8% of locations, a share that ranks tied for 160th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and nearly all of it is AT&T's, at 76.3%. A second fiber company at the same address is almost unheard of here (0.2% of locations, against 10.4% statewide), and so is a third wired provider at 100/20 Mbps (1.2%1). Optimum's Lightpath unit does file fiber at a large share of Miami's locations, but as business-only service; the figures here leave those listings out.

Fiber reached 61.2%2 of locations in the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, and 75.2%3 by December 31, 2025; it has barely moved since.
For a household: usually two wires
Miami is a city with two wired networks at most locations. Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.9% of locations, and Xfinity alone offers it at 99.8%. AT&T offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 78.9%1 of locations, mostly over fiber, and at those addresses a household can generally choose between the two.

| Miami | 0.1% | 21.4% | 77.3% | 1.2% |
| Florida | 3.8% | 30.2% | 54.2% | 11.8% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The chart shows two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps at 78.5% of locations, against 66.0% statewide and 55.6% nationally, and a single provider at 21.4%. AT&T's copper network is still widely reported: DSL at 75.7% of locations, a share that ranks 46th highest among large cities, at advertised speeds below 100/20 Mbps. Where AT&T offers only DSL or fixed wireless, Xfinity is the only wire a home can order at 100/20 Mbps. A tiny group of 491 locations has no terrestrial provider at 100/20 Mbps at all.
Advertised top speeds rose with the networks. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 99.0% of locations, against 37.0% in 2022. AT&T advertises up to 5 Gbps on fiber here and Xfinity up to 2 Gbps, the latter on its small fiber footprint. Gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more (1,000/100) is listed at 99.1%1 of locations, up from 61.3%2. All of these are maximums providers report, not measured speeds.
Fixed wireless and 5G home internet
Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 93.2% of locations by 3 providers. Verizon has the widest footprint, 82.5%, and advertises up to 1 Gbps; it offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 42.4% of locations. T-Mobile reports 81.5%, with a top advertised speed of 100 Mbps1, and AT&T's fixed wireless covers a smaller share. In 2022 Verizon's filing covered far fewer Miami locations than it does now.
Two smaller filers report unlicensed fixed wireless. Google Fiber appears in the table for 1371 locations, and in Miami its filing is fixed wireless, not fiber. Wireless capacity is shared within each tower's coverage area, so a reported footprint is not a promise that every home in it can sign up.
More households online, more of them by phone
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts households, not locations, and it shows a large change over six years. In 2019, 29.0% of Miami households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.8 percentage points); in 2025 the share was 5.3% (±0.9 percentage points). Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 61.1% (±1.7 percentage points4) to 76.4% (±2.4 percentage points), still below Florida's 78.5%5.

| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 99.9% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 76.4% | ±2.4 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 16.6% | ±1.8 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 5.3% | ±0.9 |
The share relying only on a cellular data plan moved too, from 7.9% (±1.5 percentage points4) to 16.6% (±1.8 percentage points). The margins do not overlap, so that rise is clear in the survey. Statewide the figure is 13.0%5. The survey does not ask why a household chooses a phone plan over a home connection.
Miami and its neighbors
Miami's neighbors share the AT&T-and-Xfinity pattern, with fiber at 95.4% of locations in Miami Gardens, 68.5% in Fort Lauderdale and 83.9%1 in Hialeah. The table compares the cities on the same FCC release.

Checking one address in Miami
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.
