Orlando in Florida
Orlando's fiber map nearly doubled in four years, from 36.6%2 of its homes and businesses in June 2022 to 69.7%, most of it AT&T's. Spectrum's network still reaches nearly every address, and Verizon now reports fixed wireless service at 86.4%1 of them. Several smaller fiber companies each report fiber at a small share of the city, but rarely overlap one another.
Who serves Orlando, by share of locations
Four companies report service across most of Orlando's 67,456 homes and businesses, as of June 30, 2026: Spectrum (89.3%), Verizon (86.4%), T-Mobile (81.4%) and AT&T (80.4%). Only two of them run wires to the home. Verizon and T-Mobile sell fixed wireless home internet from their mobile networks. In all, 11 providers report land-based service somewhere in the city, 91 of them over wires.

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.
Each share is the part of the city's locations where the company tells the FCC it offers service, meaning it could install a standard connection within ten business days. The filings are challengeable and describe the city as a whole, not a particular apartment or house. Locations are counted inside Orlando's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census; an address with an Orlando mailing address outside those limits falls under the Florida page instead.
AT&T's fiber build doubled the fiber share
In June 2022, 36.6%2 of Orlando's locations had a fiber provider. By June 2026 the share was 69.7%, a rise of 33.1 percentage points; among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, that increase ranks tied for 85th highest. Statewide, Florida's fiber share rose 30.2 percentage points over the same period. Most of Orlando's fiber is AT&T's: the company reports fiber at 59.8% of the city's locations and advertises up to 5 Gbps1 on it.

| Fiber available | 36.6% | 67.1% | 69.7% | 33.1 pts |

| Fixed wireless 100/20 | 19.2% | 57.2% | 60.0% | 40.8 pts |
The copper network has not gone away. DSL is still reported at 54.8% of locations, down 3.0 percentage points since 2022, almost all of it AT&T copper. Symmetrical service of 100/100 Mbps or more, which here means fiber, went from 36.2%2 of locations to 69.5%. Shares are compared rather than counts because the FCC's list of locations grows each release; Orlando's grew by 4,5621 between June 2022 and June 2026.
Eleven fiber networks, rarely two at one address
Orlando has a long list of fiber providers: 8, a count that ranks tied for 20th highest among large cities. Apart from AT&T, each covers a small slice. Summit Broadband reports fiber at 4.7% of locations, Spectrum at 4.7%, Blue Stream at 3.2% and Hotwire Communications at 2.9%; Xfinity, Wire3 and WOW each report fiber at well under one percent. The footprints seldom overlap, so only 5.3%1 of locations have two or more different fiber providers.
Cable is reported at 85.3% of Orlando's locations, slightly below Florida's 87.4% but the 37th lowest share among large cities. At some locations one of the smaller companies is the only wire: at 3.6%1 of locations, Summit Broadband is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps.

Wired choices at a typical address
For most addresses the practical choice is between Spectrum and AT&T fiber. 59.2% of locations have exactly two wired providers at 100/20 Mbps and 4.1% have three or more. Spectrum is the only wired option at that speed for 26.2% of locations, which makes up most of the 31.7% with a single wired choice. That single-choice share was 48.8%2 in 2022; across Florida it is 30.2%1 today.
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% |
Few places in the city lack wired 100/20 service altogether: 5.1% of locations, where fixed wireless is often the fastest option. Fixed wireless is the only service of 100/20 Mbps or more at 1.5%, and 241 locations rely on satellite alone.
Verizon's home internet covers most of the city
The largest single change in Orlando's filings since 2022 is wireless. Verizon now reports fixed wireless home internet at 86.4% of locations, with service of 100/20 Mbps or more at 44.8% and advertised downloads up to 1 Gbps. T-Mobile reports 81.4%, advertising up to 100 Mbps, with 100/20 at 30.9%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps went from 19.2%2 of locations in 2022 to 60.0%, against 42.1%1 for Florida.
A fixed wireless footprint is a statement about the network, not a guarantee of a connection. Everyone on a tower sector shares its capacity, so the carriers limit sign-ups by address even where the FCC data show service.
Above 2 Gbps at most addresses
Fiber also raised the top of the speed range. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 57.6% of locations, up from 18.3%2 in 2022; at most of the rest it is about 1 Gbps, Spectrum's cable maximum. Florida as a whole reaches the 2 Gbps tier at 70.8%. Gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more is advertised at 69.5% of Orlando's locations and 76.9%1 of Florida's. Every figure here is a maximum advertised by the provider, not a speed anyone measured.

What Orlando households subscribe to
Availability is counted by location; subscriptions come from the Census Bureau's survey of households. In the 2025 survey, 81.3% of Orlando households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±2.5 percentage points), and 9.6% relied only on a cellular data plan (margin of error ±2.2 percentage points), against 13.0% statewide. The phone-only share was 10.1%5 in 2019, a difference well inside the margins. 4.4%4 had no internet subscription.

Checking one address in Orlando
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.
