Louisville in Kentucky
Louisville is a two-wire city where a third wire is starting to appear. Spectrum's cable and AT&T's fiber each reach most of its homes and businesses, and the share of locations with a second fiber network has gone from 0.0%2 in June 2022 to 11.1%1 in June 2026, more than doubling in the last six months.
Spectrum cable, AT&T fiber and who else reports service
The FCC National Broadband Map counts 130,364 homes and businesses in Louisville as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026). Two wired networks cover nearly all of them. Spectrum reports service at 97.7%, over cable apart from a small fiber footprint (2.3% of locations). AT&T reports service at 95.8%: fiber at 85.7%1, and DSL over copper phone lines or fixed wireless where it has no fiber.

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 as available when it tells the FCC it can install service at a location within ten business days; the filings can be challenged. Speeds are each provider's maximum advertised speed, not measurements. Satellite service is reported at virtually every location and is left out of the counts on this page; only 111 locations in the city have satellite as their only option.
A second fiber network, arriving fast
Fiber from any provider reaches 88.6% of Louisville's locations, up from 65.3% in June 2022, a rise of 23.3 percentage points1. Most of that is AT&T. Until recently the fiber networks barely overlapped: in June 2022, two or more fiber providers were reported at 0.0%2 of locations.
That is changing quickly. T-Mobile now reports fiber at 11.6% of locations, and the share with two or more fiber providers went from 5.0%3 in December 2025 to 11.1% in June 2026. The number of companies reporting fiber somewhere in the city rose from 42 to 61, but apart from AT&T, T-Mobile and Spectrum, none reports fiber at more than a few hundred locations.

Choice at 100/20 Mbps: fewer single-wire addresses
In June 2022, 30.1%2 of Louisville's locations had only one wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps or faster. By June 2026 that share was 11.7%, as fiber reached more addresses. Where one wire remains, it is almost always Spectrum's: Spectrum is the only wired 100/20 provider at 10.6% of locations, AT&T at 1.1%1.
Two or more wired providers at that speed are now reported at 87.1% of locations, against 52.7% for Kentucky and 55.6% for the US. Three or more, rare in 2022 at 0.2%2, reach 9.9%1.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
Uploads of 100 Mbps nearly everywhere
The largest change in the Louisville figures is in upload speed. Wired service with at least 100 Mbps both ways was advertised at 65.2% of locations in June 2022 and at 98.7% in June 2026. Gigabit service with 100 Mbps uploads (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) follows the same line, from 65.1%2 to 98.7%, a share that ranks tied for 41st highest1 among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more.
Because fiber reaches 88.6% of locations, the 100/100 share now includes locations that fiber does not reach, where the wired option is cable. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 72.9% of locations, where AT&T and T-Mobile advertise up to 5 Gbps on fiber; Spectrum's maximum is 1 Gbps1. All are advertised maximums.

Fixed wireless: Verizon's growth and BluegrassNet
Since June 2022, no provider has added more Louisville locations than Verizon. It reported fixed wireless home internet at 117,734 locations in June 2026, 90.3% of the city. T-Mobile reports fixed wireless at a similar number of locations. Each offers 100/20 Mbps at under half of locations: Verizon at 43.8%, T-Mobile at 37.7%1.
BluegrassNet, which did not appear in the 2022 data, reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 34.4% of locations, with a maximum advertised download of 100 Mbps. Unlicensed fixed wireless as a whole went from 0.1%2 of locations in 2022 to 34.9%. Fixed wireless is the only way to get 100/20 Mbps at 856 locations, and 731 count as unserved under the federal definition (no reliable land-based service of at least 25/3 Mbps).
Louisville beside Kentucky
Louisville's fiber share climbed from 65.3%2 in 2022 to 88.6%, well above the state, where fiber reaches 72.8% of locations. Two or more fiber networks overlap at 11.1% of Louisville's locations, against 10.7%1 statewide.

Subscriptions and computers at home
The FCC counts where service is offered; the Census Bureau's American Community Survey asks households what they pay for. In the 2025 survey, 7.6% of Louisville households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.2 percentage points), down from 12.9% in 2019 (±1.1 percentage points5). 73.8% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL, and 15.1%4 relied only on a cellular data plan.
The survey also asks about devices. 5.2% of households reported no computer of any kind, including smartphones and tablets (margin of error ±1.0 percentage points), a point estimate that ranks tied for 13th highest4 among large cities. That is a gap the availability map cannot show.

The area these figures cover
Louisville and Jefferson County share a consolidated government, but several small cities inside the county remain separately incorporated. The Census Bureau treats the rest as the "balance" of a consolidated city, and the figures on this page cover that area, "Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance)", within its 2020 Census boundaries. Homes in the separately incorporated cities are counted on the Kentucky page, which covers every county, including Jefferson.

Checking one address in Louisville
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.
