Internet in West Palm Beach, Florida

Xfinity citywide, AT&T fiber on two thirds

Of the 27,918 homes and businesses the FCC counts inside West Palm Beach, Xfinity reports service at 99.7% and offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 99.7%. AT&T reports some kind of service at 90.5%, but the kind varies by location: fiber at 65.0% of locations, with up to 5 Gbps advertised, and its older DSL lines or fixed wireless elsewhere. AT&T offers 100/20 Mbps at 69.6%¹, a little more than its fiber footprint.

Below those two, the list thins quickly. Breezeline, Blue Stream and Hotwire Communications each report service at 0.4%¹ of locations or less, in small, scattered shares of the city. The data are provider filings as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026), for the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. "Available" means the provider says it could install standard service within ten business days, and every listing can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map.

A cable company that also files fiber

Xfinity reports fiber, not cable, at 15.3% of West Palm Beach's locations and advertises up to 2 Gbps on it. Only a handful of large US cities have Comcast fiber listings this extensive; nearby, they are a sliver: 1.4% of locations in Fort Lauderdale, 0.3% in Miami, 0.4%¹ in Boca Raton.

That fiber largely sits where AT&T's does. In June 2022, two or more fiber providers were reported at 0.0% of the city's locations; by June 2026 the share was 13.5%, or 3,771 locations. The smaller fiber companies together report too few locations to account for more than a fraction of that overlap, so most of it is Xfinity fiber alongside AT&T fiber. Overall, the share of locations with fiber from anyone rose from 50.6% to 67.6% over the same four years, while the share reported as cable fell from 90.9%² to 84.5%, the 34th lowest¹ cable share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more.

The third of the city with one wire

Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more now reaches 99.8% of locations. In June 2022 it reached 93.5%²; the gain of 6.3 percentage points is the 5th highest among large cities. Only 48¹ locations still have no wired provider at that speed.

Choice is a different matter. At 30.5% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps, and that provider is almost always Xfinity, which is the sole wired option at 30.4%. Most of the rest have exactly two, in nearly every case Xfinity and AT&T; only 0.3% have three or more, against 11.8%¹ across Florida. The single-wire share has been falling, from 38.6%² in 2022 and 33.8%³ in December 2025, as fiber listings have spread.

Multi-gigabit is now the top tier at most addresses

The fastest download advertised at a location tells a story of its own here. In June 2022, the top advertised tier was 2 Gbps or more at 19.8%² of locations; in June 2026 it was at 83.2%¹. That share is larger than the fiber footprint because Xfinity's cable listings now advertise downloads up to 2 Gbps.

Uploads moved too. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, is advertised at 92.9% of locations, up from 50.6%² in 2022 and above the Florida figure of 76.9%. Wired 100/100 Mbps is advertised at 92.9%¹. All of these are maximum speeds advertised by providers, not measurements of what a connection delivers.

Fixed wireless: Verizon caught up with T-Mobile

T-Mobile and Verizon each report fixed wireless home internet at 76.0% of locations. Verizon's footprint grew by more locations than any other provider's after June 2022, and it advertises up to 1 Gbps; T-Mobile's listings here top out at 100 Mbps. At 100/20 Mbps the picture is narrower: T-Mobile offers it at 21.9% of locations and Verizon at 17.0%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 from any carrier fell from 43.4%³ in December 2025 to 35.3%¹ in June 2026. Fixed wireless capacity is shared by everyone on a tower sector and carriers decide eligibility address by address, so a listing marks where service is offered, not a guaranteed connection.

Fewer households offline than in 2019

The Census Bureau's survey measures households, not locations. In 2025, 6.9% of West Palm Beach households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±2.6 percentage points), down from 13.6% (±3.1 percentage points) in 2019; the two ranges do not overlap. Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 66.2%⁵ to 76.9% (±5.7 percentage points), and 13.6% of households relied on a cellular data plan alone. Statewide, 5.2%⁴ of Florida households had no subscription.

West Palm Beach beside its neighbors

Palm Beach County as a whole looks much like its seat: fiber at 66.3% of locations and a single wired choice at 34.6%. Boca Raton, at the county's southern end, has less fiber, at 61.5%¹, but more Hotwire.
