Illinois internet: cable around Chicago, fiber downstate

Fiber is available at 48.4% of the 4,125,034 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Illinois, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 91.5%. 56.4% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 35.2% there is only one.1

FCC National Broadband Map, availability as of June 30, 2026 (data revised November 10, 2026), as reported by providers.

Midwest region, East North Central division

Illinois turns the usual pattern around. Fiber is most common in Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, the Quad Cities and dozens of small downstate counties, while Chicago and its suburbs still rely mainly on Xfinity's cable network. The largest gaps are in a few river counties in the south and west, and in Lee County in the north.

Who reports home internet in Illinois

Ranked by reach, the largest Illinois providers are wireless. T-Mobile reports service at 77.9% of the state's 4,125,034 broadband serviceable locations and Verizon at 69.5%, almost entirely through licensed fixed wireless, the FCC category that includes 5G home internet. AT&T follows at 69.4% with a mix of fiber, DSL and fixed wireless; its fiber reaches 16.9%1 of locations, the largest fiber footprint of any single company in the state. These figures are as of June 30, 2026, in the FCC file revised November 10, 2026.

The wired network with the widest reach is cable. Xfinity reports service at 68.4% of locations, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or faster, and at 25.3% of the state's locations it is the only wired provider offering that speed. No other company comes close on that measure: Mediacom, the next, is the sole wired 100/20 provider at 1.6%1.

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.

Below the big names the list is unusually long. 82 companies report fiber somewhere in Illinois, 4th highest1 among the states, up from 662 in June 2022. Most of them each cover a small part of the state, often a few towns or counties. A listing means the company says it could install standard service within ten business days; it is the provider's own claim, and it can be challenged on the FCC map.

5G home internet on almost every map

Licensed fixed wireless is reported at 93.8% of Illinois locations, 2nd highest share of any state (nationally 87.3%). Reach overstates what it offers. T-Mobile advertises 100/20 Mbps at 32.4% of locations and Verizon at 28.3%; counting every licensed fixed wireless provider, 100/20 service is available that way at 59.5%1.

For some locations a radio link is the only fast connection. At 226,907 locations (5.5%), 100/20 Mbps is offered only by fixed wireless, with no wired provider at that speed; the share was 3.0%2 in 2022. Besides the national networks, regional wireless companies report service at a sizable share of the state: Wisper at 7.0% of locations and Nextlink at 6.9%1.

Fiber is a downstate story

Fiber is reported at 48.4% of Illinois locations, the 11th lowest share among the states and well below the national 62.6%. That statewide figure is pulled down by the Chicago area, which holds more than half of the state's locations. Across the rest of the state fiber is common: 671 of the 1023 counties have it at half or more of their locations.

The contrast is sharpest between the counties in the chart above. Lake County, north of Chicago, has fiber at 22.4% of its locations, the 5th lowest share of any Illinois county; Will (34.4%) and DuPage (36.0%) are also well below the state figure. In McLean County, around Bloomington-Normal, fiber reaches 79.7%, with Frontier and Metronet both among the four largest providers. Rock Island County, on the Mississippi, reaches 90.6%. The top county is Clay County, in southeastern Illinois, where Wabash Communications reports fiber at 95.3%1 of locations.

Kane County, west of Chicago, is the exception among the collar counties: fiber reaches 59.8% of its locations and 73.1%1 have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps.

Chicago and the suburbs: cable first

In Chicago itself cable is reported at 99.4% of locations and fiber at 36.6%, up only from 32.5%2 in 2022. AT&T accounts for most of the city's fiber, at 32.0% of locations, and Astound reports fiber at 11.2%. Because AT&T and Astound overlap with Xfinity, 76.8%1 of the city's locations still have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps.

The suburbs have less choice. In Lake County 68.8% of locations have exactly one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps, and in Will County 52.8%. Xfinity reports service at 98.4%1 of Lake County's locations.

Statewide, 56.4% of locations have two or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps, close to the national 55.6%. Locations with three or more rose from 5.3%2 in 2022 to 13.8%1.

Apartment buildings complicate the fiber figure. The FCC counts a building as one location. Its own summary, which weights locations by the number of housing and business units in them, puts fiber at 39.8%4 of Illinois units, below the 48.4%1 share of locations, which suggests that fiber is reported less often at large multi-unit buildings than at single homes.

Four years of change: Rockford and the new fiber

Between June 2022 and June 2026, fiber's share of Illinois locations rose from 24.5% to 48.4%, an increase of 23.9 percentage points against 25.4 percentage points nationally. DSL fell by 15.8 percentage points, though it is still reported at 50.9% of locations, the 12th highest share in the country. The change in gigabit offers was larger: service of 1,000/100 Mbps went from 23.6%2 to 79.0% of locations, a rise that ranks 10th highest1.

Rockford had the biggest shift among the state's cities of 100,000 or more. Fiber was reported at 0.0%2 of its locations in 2022 and at 58.7% in 2026. In Naperville, by contrast, the share rose by 2.5 percentage points, to 18.0%. Two companies report most of it: T-Mobile now reports fiber at 37.4% of Rockford locations and i3 Broadband at 25.8%1.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; Census Bureau, Cartographic boundary file cb_2025_us_county_5m. Darker counties are higher.

The largest county gain was in Franklin County, in southern Illinois, where fiber rose by 70.6 percentage points to 75.8%; Frontier, with fiber and DSL there, reports service at 58.4% of its locations. Rock Island County gained 54.0 percentage points, with Metronet now at 75.7% of locations. The share fell in a few counties. In Warren County it dropped by 21.1 percentage points to 29.3%1; the FCC data show the drop in provider filings but not its reason.

The chart below adds the years before the National Broadband Map. Until 2021 the FCC collected Form 477 data by census block and counted a whole block as covered if one location in it could be served, so the earlier lines run higher than a location-by-location count would.

Two FCC methods: until 2021 a census block counted as served if one location in it was (Form 477, share of people); since 2022 every location is counted on its own (National Broadband Map, share of locations). The vertical line marks the break; the series are not comparable across it. Form 477 "100 Mbps" is a download tier with a lower upload tier.

River counties and Lee County: where the gaps are

Statewide, 72,669 locations (1.8%1) are unserved under the BEAD definition, meaning no reliable cable, fiber, DSL or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps, down from 5.3%2 in 2022. The highest shares are in small counties along the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rivers, with one larger exception in the north.

Point at a county for its value; the county table has every figure. FCC file revision of November 10, 2026. Shares are of broadband serviceable locations (homes and businesses), not people.

Pope County, on the Ohio River, has the highest unserved share, 35.8% of its 3,020 locations, and the highest satellite-only share, 18.2%. Fiber from Shawnee Communications reaches 56.4%; outside that network the county has no cable and only partial DSL. Henderson County, on the Mississippi across from Burlington, Iowa, comes next at 24.9%, even though MTC Communications, Inc reports fiber at 56.7%1 of its locations.

Lee County, around Dixon, has the largest number of unserved locations among these counties: 4,446, or 23.3% of its 19,062, with 14.6% more underserved. Its two largest providers are fixed wireless networks, and Verizon offers 100/20 Mbps at only 15.6% of the county's locations; Xfinity's cable reaches 52.1%1.

Alexander County, at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi, has a different gap. Fiber is reported at 0.8% of its locations and wired 100/20 service at 0.8%. At 75.5% the only 100/20 option is fixed wireless, led by Wisper ISP, LLC at 65.7%. Calhoun County, between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, has fiber at 58.1% but no location with two wired choices, and is unserved at 17.7%1.

Illinois commits more of its money to construction than almost any other state. Of its $1.04 billion allocation from the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, the 17th highest10 among the states, the approved Final Proposal covers 142,546 locations, the 8th highest count of any state plan, at a BEAD cost of $831.2 million, or $5,831 per location; providers committed $500.6 million11 of their own.

Phone-only households and the cost question

In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 14.9% of Illinois households (margin of error ±0.3 percentage points) relied only on a cellular data plan for home internet, tied for 6th highest among the states; in 2019 the figure was 11.8%19. 74.0% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL. Subscription still follows income: 81.1% of households earning under $20,000 had broadband, against 97.3%18 of those earning $75,000 or more.

The FCC map carries no prices, and this page gives none. When the Affordable Connectivity Program stopped enrolling in February 2024, 704,53217 Illinois households were signed up; the program ended on June 1, 2024. The federal Lifeline discount continues, with 106,26715 Illinois subscribers counted by USAC. In NTIA's 2023 Internet Use Survey, 11.3% of Illinois households without home internet named cost as the main reason (a survey estimate with a wide margin of error), while 59.4%20 said they did not need it or were not interested.

Checking one address in Illinois

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.
