Internet in Detroit, Michigan

Many wired filers, two networks that matter

As of June 30, 2026, 7 wired providers report service somewhere in Detroit's 240,708 homes and businesses, and 5¹ report fiber. Most of them report service at a small share of locations. The city's map is shaped by two wired networks, Xfinity's cable and AT&T's mix of fiber and copper, and by the fixed wireless services of Verizon and T-Mobile.

"Available" here means a provider reports it could install service within ten business days. The reports cover the city limits drawn for the 2020 Census and can be challenged on the FCC map.

Xfinity is the only fast wire at most addresses

Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.2% of Detroit's locations. For most of them it comes from one company. At 63.9% of locations exactly one wired provider offers that speed, a share that ranks tied for 31st highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and Xfinity is that provider at 63.8%. Across Michigan, 44.4% of locations have two or more wired choices at 100/20; in Detroit, 35.3%¹ do.

Where a second wire exists, it is mostly AT&T's fiber. AT&T reports service at 83.4% of locations but offers 100/20 Mbps at only 42.0%; across much of the rest its service is DSL over telephone copper, with advertised downloads of up to 100 Mbps. DSL is reported at 64.6%¹ of locations, down from 81.2%³ in June 2022.

A small remainder has no fast wire at all. 1,891 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; fixed wireless reaches that speed at 757 of them, leaving 1,134 without any terrestrial option at 100/20. Satellite is the only service reported at 24¹.

Fiber: three locations in ten

Fiber from any provider reaches 27.4% of Detroit's locations, a share that ranks tied for 27th lowest among large US cities. It was 13.5%³ in June 2022, so the share has nearly doubled, but it rose by only 0.6 percentage points¹ between December 2025 and June 2026.

AT&T reports fiber at 27.3% of locations and advertises up to 5 Gbps on it. 123NET reports fiber at 0.0% and Xfinity at 0.0%. The networks seldom overlap: 0.0%¹ of locations have two or more fiber providers.

Since 2022: faster uploads on the same cable

The largest change in Detroit since the first national map is not new fiber but faster advertised service over the existing cable network. Wired service at 100/100 Mbps, with uploads as fast as downloads, was reported at 13.6% of locations in June 2022 and at 78.6% in June 2026. Fiber reaches far fewer locations than that, so most of the 100/100 service now reported runs over Xfinity's cable. Gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more (1,000/100) followed the same path, from 13.6%³ to 78.6%¹.

The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 76.8%¹ of locations, against 4.5%³ in 2022. These are maximum speeds reported by providers, not measurements.

Wireless: two carriers and a local network

Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 95.0% of Detroit's locations. Verizon covers 84.2% and offers 100/20 Mbps at 25.6%; T-Mobile covers 74.7%, with 100/20 at 27.3%. The share of locations with licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 rose from 16.2%³ in 2022 to 47.7%¹.

Wireless capacity is shared among the homes on a tower sector, so carriers accept or decline sign-ups by address; a reported location is not a guaranteed one.

A phone plan in place of a home connection

The networks reach nearly every Detroit address; subscriptions do not. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, 68.7% of Detroit households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±1.8 percentage points), a share that ranks tied for 11th lowest among large cities, against 73.8% statewide. 20.8% relied only on a cellular data plan (±1.4 percentage points), compared with 14.9% across Michigan, and 5.5%² had no computer, smartphone or tablet.

Households with no internet subscription	8.2%	±0.9

Subscriptions have changed a great deal since 2019, when 24.1% of Detroit households had no internet subscription; in 2025 the figure was 8.2%. The rise came in wired service, from 53.7% to 68.7%². The cellular-only share was 19.3% in 2019 (±1.3 percentage points⁵), and the difference from 2025 is within the survey's margins of error.

The FCC data contain no prices. Michigan's Lifeline enrollment reaches 33.6% of eligible households, the 3rd highest⁶ participation rate among states; Lifeline is the standing federal discount on phone or internet service. The Affordable Connectivity Program, which had 941,244⁷ Michigan households enrolled in February 2024, ended on June 1, 2024.

Reading the Detroit figures

The FCC counts locations, not homes: an apartment building is one location, which is why Detroit appears as 240,708 locations while the Census Bureau estimates 271,541² households. The FCC also revises its list of locations every release, and Detroit's count is −13,655¹ against June 2022, so changes on this page compare shares rather than counts. Detroit lies in Wayne County; the Michigan page covers every county in the state.
