Peoria in Illinois
Peoria has largely left the copper phone network behind. DSL was reported at 79.0% of its homes and businesses in June 2022 and at 5.4% by June 30, 2026, while fiber rose from 51.5%2 to 77.8%1, the highest share of any Illinois city of 100,000 or more.
Xfinity, two fiber builders and three wireless carriers
Two wired networks reach most of Peoria, as reported to the FCC as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). Xfinity's network reaches 99.5% of the city's 40,655 homes and businesses. i3 Broadband reports fiber at 77.8% of them; Frontier adds fiber at 4.0%1. Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T report fixed wireless home internet over most of the city, Nextlink over a smaller part.

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, Viasat, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
A provider counts here when it reports that it can install service within ten business days at a location; those reports can be challenged on the FCC map. The shares describe the city as drawn for the 2020 Census, not any single street.
Copper nearly gone from the map
No change in Peoria's filings is larger than the retreat of DSL. In June 2022 it was reported at 79.0% of locations; by June 30, 2026 it was reported at 5.4%, a fall of 73.6 percentage points. Over the same four years fiber rose by 26.3 percentage points, and the share of locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps went from 49.8%2 to 77.6%1.

AT&T still reports service at 67.5% of locations, but its Peoria footprint is now almost all fixed wireless rather than phone lines: DSL from every provider together covers only 2,195 locations. AT&T advertises up to 100 Mbps and offers 100/20 Mbps at 8.9%1 of locations. The FCC filings record what each company reports; they do not say why a technology was dropped.

Fiber at most addresses, two networks at some
Fiber reaches 77.8% of Peoria's locations, against 62.6% in Springfield, 58.7% in Rockford and 36.6% in Chicago. Most of it is i3 Broadband's network. Where another fiber company reports service at the same location, it has two or more fiber networks: 4.0%1 of locations now do, up from 0.0%2 in June 2022.
The three-wire share has followed almost the same path: 4.0% of locations can choose among three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, against 0.2%2 four years earlier. Xfinity remains the only wired provider at that speed for 21.9% of locations, and 1351 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps at all.
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.

| Illinois | 8.5% | 35.2% | 42.6% | 13.8% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
Fewer companies now report wired service in Peoria than in 2022, 4 against 62, yet the average location has 1.811 wired providers offering 100/20 Mbps.
Fast uploads beyond the fiber footprint
Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, is advertised at 98.5% of locations, which ranks Peoria tied for 47th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. That is wider than fiber's reach, so Xfinity's cable network is also reported at that tier here. Statewide the share is 79.0%1.
The top advertised tier has moved up as well. In June 2022 the fastest advertised download at 97.3%2 of locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps; by June 2026, 98.5% had a top tier of 2 Gbps or more. Xfinity advertises up to 2 Gbps and i3 Broadband up to 8 Gbps1. These are providers' advertised maximums, not measured speeds.

Fixed wireless across the city
Verizon reports home internet at 87.4% of locations and T-Mobile at 87.0%, both by licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet. Each offers 100/20 Mbps at a smaller share: 32.1% for Verizon and 32.7% for T-Mobile. Counting every carrier, licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps is reported at 57.6% of locations, up from 15.3%2 in June 2022. Nextlink reports service at 13.5%, with advertised downloads up to 500 Mbps1.
Wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so carriers decide address by address whether to accept new customers. The FCC figures show where they report the service as available.
What Peoria households subscribe to
Subscriptions have risen since 2019. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 92.4% of Peoria households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±2.4 percentage points), against 82.3% in 2019 (±3.1 percentage points); wired subscriptions rose from 66.7%5 to 76.6%. Both gaps are larger than the margins. The 2025 broadband share is close to Illinois's 93.4%4, and the survey cannot separate the two.

One figure stands out: 16.7% of households had a smartphone as their only computer (±3.9 percentage points); by point estimate Peoria ranks tied for 36th highest4 among large cities on that measure, though neighboring cities in that ranking may not differ significantly. These are surveyed households over a year; the FCC counts locations on one date.
