Massachusetts internet, from fiber-dense Middlesex to one-wire Nantucket
Fiber is available at 54.5% of the 1,966,693 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Massachusetts, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.1%. 55.4% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 43.7% there is only one.1

Northeast region, New England division
Wired broadband reaches almost every home and business in Massachusetts, and a cable line runs to nearly all of them. What differs is the second wire: around Boston, Verizon's fiber gives most locations a choice, while on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket nearly every location has exactly one wired provider.
Who reports service in Massachusetts
32 companies report terrestrial home internet somewhere in Massachusetts on the FCC's National Broadband Map, with data as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026). The map covers 1,966,6931 broadband serviceable locations, each a house, an apartment building or a small business. A provider lists a location as available when it says it could connect it within ten business days for a standard installation, and anyone can challenge that claim on the FCC map.

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.
Two networks carry most of the state. Xfinity reports service at 83.1% of locations, almost all of it over cable, and it is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps at 32.2% of them. Verizon reports fiber at 48.2% of locations and is the only wired 100/20 option at just 0.2%: wherever its fiber runs, a cable line almost always runs too. Spectrum is the cable network in a different part of the state. It reaches 14.4% of Massachusetts locations, including 84.2% in Berkshire County and 96.6% in the city of Worcester, and is the only wired 100/20 provider at 9.9%1 of the state's locations.
The 5G home internet networks report wide reach but mostly slower plans. T-Mobile lists service at 74.7% of locations and offers 100/20 Mbps at 22.8%; AT&T's fixed wireless reaches 37.4% and offers 100/20 at 1.8%. Optimum also files Lightpath fiber in Massachusetts, but for business customers only, so it is left out of every figure here (see the Optimum page). That matters most in Cambridge, where Lightpath is most of the fiber on file: residential fiber is reported at only 0.5% of the city's locations, and Verizon's at 0.2%. Smaller fiber builders that do serve homes hold local footholds: GoNetspeed at 40.8% of locations in Springfield, and Whip City Fiber at 1.4% of the state's locations, with 0.6%1 of them relying on it as their only wired 100/20 provider.
Choice: a second wire, mostly in the east
Wired 100/20 Mbps service reaches 99.1% of locations, the 3rd highest share among the states. Choice is less even. 55.4% of locations have two or more wired providers at that speed, close to the national 55.6%, and 43.7% have exactly one, against 36.6% nationally. The share with two or more rose by 9.0 percentage points since 2022; among the states, that increase ranks 6th lowest1.

Cape Cod and the Islands: one cable network
Barnstable County, which is Cape Cod, has 145,790 locations, and almost all of them depend on one wire. Xfinity reports service at 99.5% of them, fiber reaches 4.5%, and 95.0%1 have exactly one wired 100/20 provider.
On the islands the picture is starker. In Dukes County, which is Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands, fiber reaches 3.2% of locations and on Nantucket 0.0%; the number of wired providers is 1 on the Vineyard and 1 on Nantucket. In both, the share of locations with a second wired choice at 100/20 Mbps rounds to zero. Cable is fast here, though: gigabit service of 1,000/100 reaches 77.6%1 of Nantucket's locations.

The second option on the islands is usually a radio link. On Nantucket, Verizon's licensed fixed wireless is reported at 57.1% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 26.3%; on Martha's Vineyard, T-Mobile reaches 41.8% and offers 100/20 at 12.2%1.
Fiber thins out beyond the Boston region
Fiber is reported at 54.5% of Massachusetts locations, the 12th lowest share among the states and below the national 62.6%. That statewide figure averages two very different maps. In Middlesex County fiber reaches 82.4% of locations, in Suffolk County 71.7% and in Norfolk County 79.7%. Further from Boston it thins: 41.7% in Worcester County, 34.2%1 in Bristol County, and almost nothing on the islands.

Fiber has spread more slowly here than in most states. Its share rose by 10.7 percentage points between June 2022 and June 2026, the 5th lowest increase among the states, against 25.4 percentage points nationally. The largest gain was in Hampshire County, up +26.4 percentage points, followed by Hampden County at +21.5 percentage points1.
No more DSL, and gigabit at most locations
Two changes since 2022 reshaped the state's technology table. DSL over telephone copper was reported at 23.6%3 of locations in June 2022 and at 0.0% in June 2026, a share tied for the lowest among the states; only 334 locations still list it. Nationally, DSL is still reported at 36.2%1.
The second is the spread of gigabit service. Service of 1,000/100 Mbps, a gigabit download with a 100 Mbps upload, reached 2.8% of locations in 2022 and 68.4% in 2026, an increase of 65.7 percentage points that ranks 6th highest. Symmetric 100/100 wired service went from 43.8%3 to 80.7%1.

Advertised top speeds moved the same way. In June 2022 the fastest download offered at 97.8%3 of locations was about 1 Gbps but under 2 Gbps; by June 2026 a tier of 2 Gbps or more was advertised at 64.5%, and under 25 Mbps or no terrestrial service at all at 0.7%1. These are the providers' maximum advertised speeds, not measured ones.
The gigabit share follows the cable map. Hampden County has the highest share, 94.3%. The two lowest are the counties where Spectrum, rather than Xfinity, is the largest cable provider: Berkshire County at 30.8% and Worcester County at 35.8%1.

The remaining gaps: Franklin County, the Vineyard, the Berkshires
Massachusetts has few locations without service. 8,873 (0.5%) are unserved, with no reliable service of 25/3 Mbps from a wired or licensed fixed wireless provider, a share that ranks tied for 6th lowest among the states. At 6,189 locations satellite is the only service reported. The share of locations without terrestrial 100/20 service, 0.9%, ranks 3rd lowest1.
Those gaps cluster in the western counties and on Martha's Vineyard. Franklin County has the highest unserved share, 2.7% or 781 locations, and wired 100/20 coverage of 96.4%, 2nd lowest among the state's counties. Satellite is the only option at 1.7% of its locations. Dukes County is next at 1.9%, then Berkshire County at 1.2%. All three have improved since June 2022: the unserved share fell by 6.3 percentage points in Franklin, 4.3 percentage points in Dukes and 3.9 percentage points in Berkshire. In Suffolk County the share is 0.0%1.

Prices and who subscribes
Price is not part of the FCC's availability data, and there is no official table of typical Massachusetts plan prices; each provider's broadband facts label gives its current plans and fees. The federal Lifeline discount continues for eligible low-income households: USAC counted 28,9496 Massachusetts subscribers, an estimated 8.5% of those eligible, the 10th lowest7 participation rate among the states. The Affordable Connectivity Program had 367,8848 Massachusetts households enrolled in February 2024, before it ended on June 1, 2024.
Subscription is high. The Census Bureau's 2025 survey found 95.2% of Massachusetts households with a broadband subscription of any type (margin of error ±0.3 percentage points), tied for 4th highest among the states, and 4.7% with no internet subscription at all. 81.4% subscribe to cable, fiber or DSL, the 2nd highest9 share.

BEAD: a short list split between cable, satellite and fiber
Massachusetts has one of the shortest lists under the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. From an allocation of $147.4 million, the 6th lowest10 among the states, its approved Final Proposal covers 3,808 locations, the 4th lowest count of any state plan, at a BEAD cost of $18.8 million, or $4,946 per location. Providers committed a further $9,408,65311. The program is run by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute at MassTech, whose BEAD page links the state's proposals.

The technology mix is unusual. Cable networks (hybrid fiber-coaxial) account for 48.6% of the plan's locations and low-Earth-orbit satellite for 34.8% (1,326 locations). Fiber gets 16.5%, or 630 locations, the 2nd lowest fiber share of any state plan. $128.6 million11 of the allocation is not assigned to construction in the plan. Massachusetts was also allocated $175.4 million12 from the Treasury's Capital Projects Fund.

How many places in Massachusetts lack broadband?
Almost none, in FCC terms: 8,873 homes and businesses (0.5%) had no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps as of June 30, 2026, and 1,513 more had reliable service below 100/20. Most are in the western hill towns and on Martha's Vineyard; Franklin County has the highest share, 2.7%1.
How much BEAD money does Massachusetts get?
Massachusetts received $147.4 million10, and with few unserved locations its approved plan covers only 3,808 of them, for $18.8 million. Most of the money, $128.6 million11, is not assigned to construction.
Checking one address in Massachusetts
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.
