Nampa in Idaho
In June 2022, Nampa had one fast wire at most addresses: Sparklight's cable network. Four years later TDS reports fiber at 61.7% of the city's homes and businesses, where it reported nothing in 2022, and the share of locations with two or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps has gone from 23.1%2 to 74.7%1.
Internet providers in Nampa
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 9 companies report fixed internet service on the ground among Nampa's 37,517 homes and businesses. Two wired networks cover most of the city. Sparklight reports service at 98.9% of locations and TDS at 61.7%1, all of it fiber. The others cover smaller or scattered parts.

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 (Starlink, Viasat, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Each share counts the locations where a company tells the FCC it could install service within ten business days of an order. The filings are the companies' own and can be challenged; they contain no prices and no speed tests. Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat report every location, as they do across the country. Leaving satellite aside, 561 of Nampa's locations have no terrestrial service of at least 100/20 Mbps.
TDS built a second network
The FCC's Idaho location files show no TDS service in Nampa in June 2022. By June 30, 2026 the company reported fiber at 23,150 locations, 61.7% of the city, most of it already in place by the December 2025 filing. Every one of those records is filed as residential and business service, with downloads advertised up to 8 Gbps and the same advertised upload speed. Idaho is the company's second-largest state by locations after Wisconsin1.
That network accounts for most of Nampa's fiber growth. Fiber from any company was reported at 17.2%2 of locations in 2022, nearly all of it CenturyLink's, and is now at 74.0%. The rise of 56.8 percentage points is the 28th highest1 among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more.

Three other fiber footprints sit beside it:
- AT&T reports fiber at 27.2% of locations, advertised up to 8 Gbps, under both its own and the Quantum Fiber brand. In the December 2025 files nearly all of the same locations had fiber filed by CenturyLink, under the Quantum Fiber and CenturyLink brands, so AT&T's arrival in Nampa is mostly a change of filer, not new construction.
- Sparklight reports fiber at 14.6%1, in areas where it does not report cable.
Because TDS's footprint overlaps the others in places, two or more fiber networks are reported at 20.3% of locations, the 89th highest share among large cities. Cable, by contrast, now appears at 84.6%1 of locations, down from 98.7%2; where Sparklight reports fiber, it does not report cable.
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.

From one wire to two
The fiber build changed how many wired choices a Nampa address has. In June 2022, 76.1%2 of locations had exactly one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps, nearly always Sparklight. That share is now 24.4%. Two or more wired choices are reported at 74.7%, a gain the 28th highest among large cities, and three or more at 19.4%. Across Idaho, two or more wired choices reach 38.5%1 of locations.
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% |
TDS is the only wired 100/20 provider at 0.1% of locations: where it reports fiber, Sparklight or another wired company also offers that speed. Sparklight is the single wire at 24.3%1. Syringa Networks' fiber, coded as business-only service, is not counted as a choice here.
The speed ceiling moved
In 2022 the fastest advertised download at 99.2% of Nampa's locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps, mostly Sparklight's 1 Gbps cable offer. Now the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 70.2% of locations, and the FCC's gigabit tier of 1,000/100 Mbps is reported at 75.8%1, up from 0.0%2.

| United States | 2.4% | 1.6% | 1.8% | 1.4% | 0.9% | 31.0% | 61.0% |
Uploads explain the gap between those figures. Sparklight advertises 1 Gbps downloads almost citywide, so a 1 Gbps download is on offer at 99.3% of locations, but its Nampa records, cable and fiber alike, pair that download with a 50 Mbps upload. Symmetrical service of 100/100 Mbps or more is reported at 73.4%1, almost all of it on fiber. All of these are maximum advertised speeds filed by the providers, not measurements.
Nampa beside Canyon County and Boise
Nampa is the largest city in Canyon County, and its numbers are not the county's. Fiber reaches 53.6% of the county's locations and two or more wired choices 53.1%. Fixed wireless matters more countywide: 13.6% of Canyon County's locations have fixed wireless as their only terrestrial service at 100/20 Mbps or more, against 0.8% in Nampa, and 3.1% are unserved under the BEAD definition (no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps), against 51 locations in the city.
| Area | Fiber available | Two or more wired choices | Gigabit (1,000/100) | Fixed wireless only at 100/20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nampa, Idaho | 74.0% | 74.7% | 75.8% | 0.8% |
| Boise, Idaho | 36.1% | 41.3% | 37.2% | 0.8% |

Among the three large Treasure Valley cities, Nampa reports more fiber than Boise and less than Meridian. The median large US city is at 74.0%, and Nampa ranks tied for 171st lowest1. The builders differ: TDS carries most of the fiber in Nampa, while Fatbeam and Sparklight carry more of it in Meridian.
Copper and wireless alongside
CenturyLink's copper lines still appear at 64.2% of locations, down from 73.9%2 in 2022. The DSL is advertised at up to 140 Mbps and reaches 100/20 Mbps at only 5.4%1.
Wireless filings shifted. Verizon reported only a few hundred Nampa locations in 2022 and now reports 69.9%, with 100/20 Mbps at 14.4%. T-Mobile reports 47.6%, with 100/20 at 5.1%, and AT&T reports fixed wireless at more Nampa locations than it reports fiber. Two local companies file large areas: Anthem Broadband, mostly over unlicensed spectrum, at 60.1% of locations with downloads advertised up to 2 Gbps, and Rise Broadband at 58.3%, with 100/20 Mbps at 42.2%1. A wireless sector's capacity is shared among its users, so a listing on the map is not a guaranteed sign-up.
What Nampa households subscribe to
In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 77.1% of Nampa households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±4.4 percentage points), 12.9% used a cellular data plan alone and 5.2% had no subscription. Satellite subscriptions were reported by 8.5% of households (margin of error ±2.7 percentage points), a point estimate 30th highest4 among large cities, although every location in the city has a terrestrial option. The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two sets of figures do not line up exactly.

Checking one address in Nampa
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.
