Internet in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Fiber is available at 92.0% of the 98,055 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Minneapolis, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.8%. 92.0% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 7.9% there is only one.1

Minneapolis in Minnesota
Most Minneapolis addresses have two wired networks: Xfinity's cable and a fiber network now filed by AT&T. In 2022, 48.7%2 of the city's homes and businesses could also choose between two fiber providers; as of June 30, 2026, that share is 0.0%1.
Provider shares inside city limits
The FCC counts 98,055 homes and businesses inside Minneapolis, as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). Xfinity reports service at 99.8% of them, over cable except at a few hundred fiber locations, with advertised downloads of up to 2 Gbps. AT&T reports 97.2%: fiber at 91.9%, with a top advertised download of 8 Gbps1, and fixed wireless at many of the rest. Verizon and T-Mobile report only fixed wireless.

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 share here is the part of the city's locations where a company told the FCC it can connect a home within ten business days. Anyone can challenge those claims on the FCC map. The FCC collects no prices, and the satellite companies, which report every location in the city, are left out of the figures below.
Where the second fiber network went
In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, Minneapolis had something few large cities had: two fiber networks over a large part of the city. CenturyLink filed fiber across most of it, and US Internet filed fiber at more than half of the city's locations. Where the two overlapped, 48.7% of locations had a choice of fiber providers, and 49.3%2 could choose among three or more wired providers offering 100/20 Mbps.
US Internet does not appear in the FCC's Minnesota files for December 31, 2025 or June 30, 2026. Two fiber networks now overlap at 0.0% of locations, a share tied for the lowest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and three wired choices at 100/20 Mbps at 0.1%1. The map records who files, not who builds or shuts down; a company that stops filing drops out of the figures whether or not its lines are still in service.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two or more fiber networks | 48.7% | 0.0% | 0.0% | −48.7 pts |

| DSL available | 37.5% | 12.0% | 5.7% | −31.9 pts |
Fiber coverage itself grew over the same four years, from 84.5%2 to 92.0%1, because the remaining network now reaches more locations than CenturyLink's fiber did in 2022. In the latest six months it slipped from 92.7%3.
The same fiber, filed by AT&T
AT&T reported no service in Minneapolis in 2022. In the December 31, 2025 files it reported only fixed wireless. Lumen, CenturyLink's parent, then completed the sale of its consumer fiber-to-the-home business in eleven states, including Quantum Fiber, to AT&T on February 2, 2026, and kept its copper-based consumer services, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the June 30, 2026 files, the city's fiber is filed by AT&T, and CenturyLink reports DSL alone, at 5.6%1 of locations.
Copper's retreat in the data is steep. DSL from any provider was reported at 37.5%2 of Minneapolis locations in 2022, 12.0%3 in December 2025 and 5.7% in June 2026, a fall of 31.9 percentage points1 since 2022.
Exactly two wires, almost everywhere
With one cable network and one fiber network covering nearly the same streets, the typical Minneapolis address has exactly two wired providers offering 100/20 Mbps. That is true at 91.9% of locations, the 6th highest share among large cities, against 41.8% for Minnesota as a whole. Xfinity is the only wired provider at that speed at 7.8% of locations; AT&T is the sole one at 0.1%1.

Gaps are small. 104 locations have no ground-based service at 100/20 Mbps, 55 reach it only by fixed wireless, and 101 have satellite alone.
Gigabit: the same share, different networks
On paper the share of locations offered gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) barely moved, from 100.0% in 2022 to 98.9%. That drop of 1.1 percentage points ranks tied for 7th lowest among large cities, but the networks behind the figure changed entirely. In 2022 the tier came from US Internet's fiber and from Nextera Wireless, an unlicensed fixed wireless company that reported 1,000/100 service at every location in the city; unlicensed wireless as a whole was reported at 100.0%2 then and 0.0%1 now. Xfinity's cable then advertised gigabit downloads with slower uploads.
As of June 30, 2026, the tier is carried by Xfinity's cable network and AT&T's fiber. Symmetrical wired service of at least 100/100 Mbps rose from 84.5%2 to 99.6%, more than the fiber's reach, so cable accounts for part of it. A download of 2 Gbps or more is the fastest tier advertised at 98.9%1 of locations. All of these are maximum advertised speeds, not measurements.

Fixed wireless from the carriers
Verizon reports fixed wireless at 94.5% of locations, more than it reported in 2022, and advertises up to 1 Gbps; it offers 100/20 Mbps at 48.2% of locations. T-Mobile reports 79.5%, with 100/20 at 35.8%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or faster reaches 65.8%1 of locations, down from 75.5%3 in December. Carriers limit sign-ups where a cell sector is full, so a reported location is not a promise of service. The fixed wireless page explains the technology.

Minneapolis, St. Paul and the rest of Minnesota
St. Paul reached nearly the same fiber share by a different route: fiber went from 52.7%2 of its locations in 2022 to 91.6%, while Minneapolis already started high. Both cities are far above Minnesota's 62.6%; statewide, only 46.5% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps. Hennepin County, around Minneapolis, has fiber at only 73.0%1 of locations; the Minnesota page has it beside every other county.

Subscriptions lag the wires
Availability is close to universal, but subscription is not. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, which counts households and carries a margin of error, 8.6% of Minneapolis households had no internet subscription (±1.4 percentage points), a point estimate tied for 23rd highest among large cities, against 6.8% statewide. The share was 12.5% in 2019 (±1.2 percentage points5), a decline larger than the margins of error. 77.4% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL, and 12.4%4 relied only on a cellular data plan.

Minneapolis internet questions
What internet providers are available in Minneapolis?
As of June 30, 2026, Xfinity reports service at 99.8% of Minneapolis homes and businesses, almost all of it cable, and AT&T at 97.2%, with fiber at 91.9%. Verizon (94.5%) and T-Mobile (79.5%) report fixed wireless home internet, and CenturyLink reports DSL at 5.6%1. Satellite is reported everywhere.
Does Minneapolis have fiber internet?
Fiber is reported at 92.0% of locations in the city, against 62.6% across Minnesota and 62.6% nationally. Almost all of it is one network, filed by AT&T in the June 30, 2026 data; 41 companies report fiber somewhere in the city, most of them at a few hundred locations or fewer.
What happened to US Internet's fiber on the FCC map?
US Internet reported fiber in Minneapolis in the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022. It does not appear in the FCC's Minnesota files for December 31, 2025 or June 30, 2026. The FCC map only shows companies that file, so the filings do not say whether its network still operates.
How many internet providers are there in Minneapolis?
5 wired providers and 8 ground-based providers in all report service somewhere in the city, down from 7 and 102 in 2022. At a typical address the count of wired providers at 100/20 Mbps is two: that is the case at 91.9%1 of locations.
Checking one address in Minneapolis
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.
