Internet providers in Tallahassee, Florida
Fiber is available at 78.0% of the 56,130 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Tallahassee, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.9%. 78.0% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 21.9% there is only one.1

Tallahassee in Florida
Two wired networks carry most of Tallahassee: Xfinity's cable, at 99.7% of its homes and businesses, and Metronet's fiber, at 77.7%. CenturyLink's copper DSL is still reported at 84.3%, the 13th highest1 share among large US cities. Subscriptions moved the other way: fewer households pay for a wired connection than in 2019, and 20.9%2 rely on a cellular data plan alone.
Xfinity, Metronet and CenturyLink on file
The FCC's National Broadband Map lists 56,130 homes and businesses inside Tallahassee's city limits, as drawn for the 2020 Census. As of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), Xfinity reports service at 99.7% of them, CenturyLink reports service at 87.8% and Metronet reports fiber at 77.7%1. The table gives every provider's share of locations, the technologies it reports and its fastest advertised download.

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 (Viasat, Starlink, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
"Available" here means a provider tells the FCC it serves the location, or could within ten business days with a standard installation. Anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC map. The shares describe the city as a whole; they do not say what one apartment or house can order.
Fiber: one network does most of the work
Fiber reaches 78.0% of Tallahassee's locations, above Florida's 68.4% and the national 62.6%. Nearly all of that is Metronet, which reports fiber at 77.7% of locations and advertises downloads of up to 5 Gbps. Metronet's network was already on the first national map: in June 2022 fiber from any provider reached 69.4%3 of the city, and it has grown by 8.7 percentage points1 since.
The other fiber filers each cover a small part of the city; the largest, CenturyLink, reports fiber at 3.8% of locations. Their footprints are small, so only 3.5%1 of locations have two or more fiber networks.

Where Xfinity is the only fast wire
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 99.9% of locations, and 78.0% have at least two wired providers at that speed, up from 66.6%3 in June 2022. Across Florida the share with two or more is 66.0%1.
Most of the rest depends on cable alone. At 21.8% of locations, Xfinity is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps; these are mostly addresses outside Metronet's fiber footprint. Locations with three or more wired choices at that speed are uncommon, at 4.5%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.

Copper lines still listed at most addresses
CenturyLink still reports DSL over copper phone lines at 84.3% of Tallahassee's locations, the 13th highest share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more and nearly double Florida's 43.5%. Leon County as a whole reports DSL at 85.7% of its locations. Elsewhere in the state copper is leaving the map: Florida's DSL share fell by 14.8 percentage points since June 2022, and Tampa's went from 37.8%3 to 0.0%. In Tallahassee it rose by 1.5 percentage points1.
The copper does not add much choice. CenturyLink offers 100/20 Mbps at only 4.9%1 of locations, mostly where it has fiber. On most of its footprint it is a slower option than cable or fiber.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of broadband serviceable locations where at least one provider reports the technology, at any speed; a location can have several. Satellite is reported almost everywhere and is left out.

Faster tiers since 2022
The fastest advertised download at 82.5% of locations is 2 Gbps or more, and gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) is reported at 82.7%, up from 68.5% in June 2022. Fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps went from 9.2%3 to 59.4%1 over the same years. Every speed here is a provider's advertised maximum, not a measurement.

Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T by radio
All three national wireless carriers report home internet in Tallahassee. T-Mobile reports it at 83.1% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 37.5%; Verizon at 82.8%, with 100/20 at 39.1% and an advertised maximum of 300 Mbps. In June 2022 Verizon reported service at only a small share of the city. AT&T reports no wired service in Tallahassee: it files only fixed wireless, at 68.5% of locations, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 5.2%1.
Fixed wireless capacity is shared by everyone on a tower sector, and the carriers limit sign-ups address by address. A listing on the map means the carrier reports it can serve the location, not that every household on the street could subscribe at once.
Fewer wired subscriptions than in 2019
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts households, not locations, and its Tallahassee figures point the other way from the network data. In 2025, 68.2% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±3.5 percentage points), the 7th lowest share among large cities in the survey and below Florida's 78.5%. In 2019 it was 78.0% (±2.7 percentage points). Over the same years, the share relying only on a cellular data plan went from 11.1% (±2.1 percentage points5) to 20.9% (±3.4 percentage points), the 12th highest2 among large cities. Both changes are larger than the combined margins of error.

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.

| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 99.9% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 68.2% | ±3.5 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 20.9% | ±3.4 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 9.0% | ±2.4 |
One survey year can swing. The five-year estimate for 2020–2024, which pools more responses, puts wired subscriptions at 78.8% (±1.4 percentage points6), close to the 2019 level, so the drop shows up mainly in the latest single year. The share with no internet subscription at all, 9.0% (±2.4 percentage points2), is close to its 2019 value. The survey does not record why households choose a phone plan over a wired line.

Checking one address in Tallahassee
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.
