Davenport in Iowa
Davenport has three wired networks laid over nearly the same addresses: Metronet's fiber, reported at 93.4% of homes and businesses, Mediacom's cable at 98.0%1, and CenturyLink's copper telephone lines, whose DSL reaches a larger share of the city than in all but a few large American cities. Fiber was already at 91.8%2 in the first national map in 2022. What has changed since is a second fiber network, Geneseo Communications, and the arrival of the mobile carriers' home internet.
Who files service in Davenport
The FCC National Broadband Map counts 36,163 homes and businesses inside Davenport's city limits as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). Metronet reports fiber at 93.4% of them, with downloads advertised up to 5 Gbps. Mediacom's cable network reaches 98.0%, advertised up to 5 Gbps. CenturyLink reports service at 90.1% of locations, but over copper: its fiber covers 1.0% of the city. Geneseo Communications, which reported no service in the city in 2022, now reports fiber at 19.8% of locations, with advertised downloads up to 1 Gbps1.

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.
Each row is a provider's own filing with the FCC, for locations inside the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. A location counts as served where the provider says it could install standard service within ten business days. Filings can be challenged, and a single address is checked on the FCC map, not here. HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink report satellite service at every location; they are left out of the coverage figures below.
Fiber that was there before the map
Davenport's fiber is older than the national map. In the first release, as of June 30, 2022, at least one provider reported fiber at 91.8% of the city's locations, almost all of it Metronet's; across Iowa the share was then 44.5%2. Since then the state has caught up part of the way, to 77.5%, while Davenport moved only to 94.3%, a gain that ranks 44th lowest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. There was little left to add: the city's fiber share ranks 28th highest1.

Des Moines, where Metronet also built, reports fiber at 93.6%; Cedar Rapids, where it did not, is at 35.2%1.
The speed tiers follow the fiber. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 94.9% of locations, and gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, is advertised at 95.6%1, against 91.8%2 in 2022.

The copper footprint adds a name to the provider list but rarely a fast option. CenturyLink offers 100/20 Mbps at 8.2%1 of Davenport's locations.
Two fast wires at most addresses
With Metronet and Mediacom over the same addresses, 93.5% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, against 55.8% across Iowa, a share that ranks tied for 34th highest among large cities. A location has on average 2.19 such providers. Only 5.8% (2,105 locations) have a single one, usually Mediacom, the only one at 5.0%1.
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.

233 locations have no wired provider at that speed, 21 count as unserved under the federal BEAD program's definition, and 21 are left with satellite alone.
A second fiber network
Two or more fiber providers at the same location went from 3.2% in 2022 to 24.4%3 in December 2025, as Geneseo built beside Metronet, and stood at 19.9% in June 2026. Three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps went from 3.2%2 to 24.3%1 over the four years. Filings are revised often, and these shares can move between releases.

The wireless carriers moved in
Fixed wireless home internet covered the city in 2022 as well, at 93.5% of locations; what changed is who files it. The number of licensed fixed wireless providers went from 42 to 6. Verizon reported service at a small share of locations in 2022 and now reports it at 72.2%, with advertised downloads up to 300 Mbps. AT&T, absent in 2022, reports fixed wireless at 67.8%, and T-Mobile at 84.9%. Licensed fixed wireless now reaches 97.6% of locations, but at 100/20 Mbps or more only 41.6%: Verizon offers that speed at 24.7% of locations and T-Mobile at 23.3%1. Carriers share tower capacity among users and accept sign-ups address by address, so a reported footprint is not a promise of service at every home.
Unlicensed fixed wireless went the other way: reported at 92.6%2 of locations in 2022, it is now reported at 0.0%1.
More households subscribe than in 2019
What is available and what households pay for are measured separately. In the Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey, 19.4% of Davenport households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±3.1 percentage points). In the 2025 survey that share was 8.6% (±2.5 percentage points), a drop well outside both margins, and 91.2% of households had a broadband subscription of any type (±2.5 percentage points5), against 80.3%4 in 2019.

Availability is a share of locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC); subscriptions are a share of households from the American Community Survey, 2025 (whiskers: 90% margin of error). Different units and dates: read the gap as a sign, not an exact number.

| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 99.4% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 72.8% | ±4.2 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 15.6% | ±3.9 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 8.6% | ±2.5 |
Even so, the city's broadband share ranks 22nd lowest among the large cities the survey covers, close to Iowa's 91.1%. 72.8% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±4.2 percentage points) and 15.6% relied only on a cellular data plan (±3.9 percentage points5). The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two sets of figures do not measure the same homes.

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.
