Indiana internet, from rural fiber counties to the Warren County gap
Fiber is available at 70.6% of the 2,718,750 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Indiana, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 92.4%. 60.0% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 32.4% 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
Indiana has one of the longest lists of fiber builders in the country, from AT&T and Metronet to small local networks, and fiber went from 40.1%2 of its homes and businesses in June 2022 to 70.6% four years later. The exceptions are Lake County, next to Chicago, where 50.4%1 of locations have a single wired choice, and a handful of rural counties, led by Warren County on the Illinois line.
Who reports home internet in Indiana
94 companies report terrestrial home internet somewhere in Indiana in the FCC's National Broadband Map, with data as of June 30, 2026 (revision November 10, 2026). The three widest networks by reported reach are not wires at all: T-Mobile reports service at 73.3% of the state's 2.7 million homes and businesses, Verizon at 60.0% and AT&T at 58.5%1, mostly 5G and LTE home internet. "Available" here means the provider says it could connect the location within ten business days; the listing can be challenged.

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.
Among wired networks, Xfinity has the widest reach, at 55.6% of locations, and at 15.5% of Indiana locations it is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. Spectrum, the other large cable company, is the sole wired option at 6.2%. The big fiber networks are rarely alone: Frontier is the only wired 100/20 provider at 0.2% of locations, AT&T at 0.4% and Metronet at 0.1%1.
Dozens of fiber networks
Fiber is reported at 70.6% of Indiana locations, the 16th highest share among the states and above the national 62.6%. The number of companies behind it is the more distinctive figure: 68 providers report fiber somewhere in Indiana, 11th highest1 among the states.

Three large networks report the widest fiber footprints. AT&T reports fiber at 21.1% of locations; in Marion County, home to Indianapolis, it is the widest provider of any kind, at 95.1% of locations with fiber, DSL or fixed wireless. Frontier reports fiber at 13.7% and is the second wired network after Xfinity in Allen County, around Fort Wayne, and Tippecanoe County, around Lafayette. Metronet reports 13.0%, all of it fiber. The rest comes from dozens of smaller regional and local networks. In Fulton County, south of South Bend, RTC Communications Corp. reports service at 99.6% of locations, and fiber reaches 99.8%1, the highest county share in the state.

Upload speeds rose alongside fiber. Wired service of 100/100 Mbps, with uploads as fast as downloads, rose from 40.1% of locations to 79.7%. DSL, the copper telephone service, moved the other way: its share fell by 21.6 percentage points, to 36.1%. Two or more separate fiber networks now overlap at 15.3%1 of locations, up from 2.6%2.
Rural counties that rewired since 2022
Many of the largest gains were in small rural counties. In 251 of Indiana's 924 counties, fiber's share rose by 50 percentage points or more between June 2022 and June 2026.

Switzerland County, on the Ohio River in the southeast, rose the most, by +82.2 percentage points: fiber now reaches 97.5% of its locations, and the electric cooperative's network, Southeastern Indiana REMC, is the county's largest provider. Starke County, southwest of South Bend, is close behind (+81.2 percentage points, to 81.2%), with nearly all of its fiber reported since 2022; Brightspeed, Mercury Fiber and Surf Internet all report fiber there. In Fulton County the fiber share rose by 38.0 percentage points and the unserved share fell by 22.1 percentage points. Two counties moved backward, Wabash and, by more, Huntington County, southwest of Fort Wayne, where the fiber share fell by 6.8 percentage points, and 12.3%1 of its locations can get 100/20 Mbps only by fixed wireless.
Regional wireless networks beside 5G
Licensed fixed wireless is reported at 90.8% of Indiana locations, 12th highest among the states. Most of that reach comes from the national 5G networks, and their speeds vary: T-Mobile offers 100/20 Mbps at 25.3% of locations, Verizon at 24.7% and AT&T, counting its fiber, at 26.1%1.

Regional wireless companies also report large footprints. W.A.T.C.H. TV reports service at 12.2% of the state's locations, mostly by fixed wireless, with 100/20 Mbps at 3.3%. Despite its name, Mercury Fiber reports service at 9.6% of locations but fiber at only 0.4%; most of its footprint is licensed fixed wireless. Fourway reports 5.9%, also mostly by radio. At 113,465 Indiana locations (4.2%1), 100/20 Mbps is reported only by fixed wireless, from no wired provider.
A second wire for most, one wire for a third
60.0% of Indiana locations can choose between two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, up from 38.6%2 in June 2022 and above the national 55.6%. Another 32.4%1 have exactly one.

The county extremes are far apart. In Hamilton County, north of Indianapolis, 85.9% of locations have two or more wired choices. In Gibson County, north of Evansville, only 5.0% do, and 73.4% have exactly one; Gibson also has the lowest fiber share of any Indiana county, 23.3%1.
Lake County, the second-largest county by locations and home to Gary and Hammond, is the larger case. Xfinity reports service at 97.3% of its 189,040 locations, but fiber reaches only 42.7%, the 7th lowest share among the state's 924 counties, and 50.4% of Lake County locations have a single wired choice. Allen County, around Fort Wayne, shows the other pattern: fiber at 81.6% and two or more wired choices at 78.0%1.

Warren County and the remaining gaps
Statewide, the share of locations unserved under the BEAD definition fell from 8.1%2 in June 2022 to 1.7%1. The methodology explains the definition: satellite and unlicensed fixed wireless do not count as reliable service.

One county stands far apart. Warren County, a rural county of 4,678 locations on the Illinois line, has the highest unserved share in Indiana, 39.2%, and the lowest share with wired 100/20 service, 43.6%. Its largest providers are T-Mobile (54.4% of locations) and W.A.T.C.H. TV (54.0%), both wireless; Joink, a fiber network, reports 41.6%. Warren's unserved share is down 17.5 percentage points since 2022, yet its satellite-only share rose by 9.1 percentage points, to 11.7%1, the highest in the state.

Phone-only households and the cost question
In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 14.4% of Indiana households (margin of error ±0.4 percentage points) relied only on a cellular data plan, the 10th highest share among the states, and 73.8% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL. Subscriptions vary with income: 82.1% of households earning under $20,000 had a broadband subscription, against 97.3%13 of those earning $75,000 or more.

T-Mobile and Verizon report 5G or LTE home internet more widely, but offer 100/20 Mbps at only 25.3% and 24.7%1 of locations.
How many Indiana homes lack broadband?

Warren County, on the Illinois line, stands apart at 39.2%. Another 47,7911 locations had reliable service below 100/20.
How much BEAD money does Indiana get?
Indiana's $868.1 million6 pays for 122,847 locations in the approved plan, 79.1% of them fiber, at a BEAD cost of $483.2 million; $384.9 million5 of the allocation is not yet assigned to construction.
Is fiber available at my address in Indiana?
This page describes areas, not addresses. Search the address on the FCC's National Broadband Map, which lists every provider that reports service there and lets you challenge a listing that is wrong.
Checking one address in Indiana
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.
