Missouri internet, from Google Fiber to the Ozarks

Fiber is available at 69.1% of the 2,518,911 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Missouri, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 85.5%. 55.1% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 30.4% there is only one.1

FCC National Broadband Map, availability as of June 30, 2026 (data revised November 10, 2026), as reported by providers.

Midwest region, West North Central division

Missouri has the 3rd highest number of companies building fiber of any state, and fiber now reaches 69.1% of its homes and businesses, up from 37.9%2 in 2022. Yet no wired 100/20 Mbps offer reaches 14.5%1 of locations, and in parts of the Ozarks a wireless signal is the only fast offer while many addresses still count as unserved.

Who reports home internet in Missouri

Data as of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026) list 112 companies with wired or fixed wireless home internet in Missouri, the 5th highest count among the states, spread over 2,518,9111 broadband serviceable locations. Each location is a house, an apartment building or a small business. Providers file it as covered if they could hook it up within ten business days in a standard installation; anyone can dispute that on the FCC map.

Ranked by reach, two cellular carriers come first. T-Mobile files its 5G home internet, a licensed fixed wireless service, at 70.1% of Missouri locations and Verizon at 61.2%; the share where each advertises 100/20 Mbps is far smaller, 26.5% and 22.2%. Among wired companies, AT&T reports fiber at 24.4% of locations and copper DSL over a wider territory. Spectrum's cable network covers 47.7%, and at 12.2%1 of the state's locations no other wired company matches its 100/20 offer.

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 (Viasat, HughesNet, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.

Two names on the list need a caution. Brightspeed, absent from the June 2022 Missouri filings under that name, now covers 23.3% of locations, mostly with DSL; its 100/20 offer reaches 7.5%. Brown Dog Networks reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 24.1% of the state's locations and at 100.0% of those in the city of St. Louis, with a top advertised download of 50 Mbps; its share of Missouri locations with a 100/20 Mbps offer is 0.0%1.

A crowd of fiber builders, and big jumps in small counties

83 different providers report fiber to the premises in Missouri, the 3rd highest count of any state, up from 70 in 2022. Together they reach 69.1% of locations, slightly above the national 62.6%. In June 2022 the share was 37.9%; the rise of 31.2 percentage points compares with 25.4 percentage points nationally. Copper DSL moved the other way, from 60.7%2 of locations to 47.6%1.

Some of the largest jumps came far from the metros. In 21 of the state's 1153 counties the fiber share rose by 50 points or more. The largest gain was in Buchanan County, around St. Joseph, up +86.1 percentage points to 93.5%; Mercury Fiber reports service at 78.0% of its locations. St. Clair County, in west-central Missouri, rose by 84.8 percentage points, and there Conexon Connect LLC reports fiber at 79.3% of locations. The same company is the largest provider in neighboring Cedar County, where fiber rose by 79.6 percentage points to 95.6%1.

Kansas City, Springfield and St. Louis: three fiber maps

Missouri's three largest cities show how differently fiber can arrive. In Kansas City, Google Fiber reports service at 90.1% of locations and fiber overall reaches 97.4%. A second fiber network has spread since 2022: the share of the city's locations with two or more fiber providers went from 13.3%2 to 68.9%. Statewide, Google Fiber's footprint is 273,998 locations, all fiber, with a top advertised tier of 8 Gbps1.

Springfield already had fiber at 66.8% of its locations in 2022 and has 93.0% now. Brightspeed reports fiber at 91.4% of the city's locations and AT&T at 45.4%, and the share with two or more fiber networks went from 8.0%2 in 2022 to 44.0% in 2026. SpringNet, the city utility's network, files its fiber for business customers only, so it is not counted here. St. Louis is the exception. AT&T reports fiber at 64.5% of the city's locations and Spectrum's cable network reaches 96.1%, but a second fiber network is almost absent (0.2%1).

Statewide, two fiber networks overlap at 18.3% of locations, the 9th highest share in the country, against 12.1% nationally. Where that happens, the number of wired choices climbs: 16.7% of Missouri locations have three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, up from 3.3%2 in 2022 and above the national 11.1%1.

Where the wire stops: radio is the only fast offer

For all those fiber companies, the wired map still has a hole. A cable, fiber or DSL line capable of 100/20 Mbps is reported at 85.5% of Missouri locations; the national figure is 92.3%, and Missouri's share is the 7th lowest among the states. That leaves 365,000 locations (14.5%1) with no wired offer at that speed.

Fixed wireless fills most of that space. At 251,265 locations (10.0%), a fixed wireless provider is the only one that advertises 100/20 Mbps, the 6th highest share in the country and almost three times the national 3.6%. That share was 5.3%2 in 2022. Two kinds of radio network carry it. Wisper ISP reports licensed fixed wireless at 36.5% of Missouri locations and 100/20 Mbps at 34.5%. Wave Internet Technologies, which did not file in Missouri in 2022 under that name, reports unlicensed fixed wireless, the kind built on shared radio spectrum, at 11.0% of locations. Unlicensed service of any kind is reported at 57.8% of Missouri locations, the 7th highest share, against 19.7%1 nationally.

The Ozark counties: an offer of 100/20, still unserved

A band of counties across the Ozarks shows the gap most clearly. In Shannon County, Wave Internet Technologies LLC reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 100.0% of its 4,350 locations and advertises 100/20 Mbps at 100.0%. Wired 100/20 service reaches 21.0%, and at 79.0% fixed wireless is the only fast option. Yet 54.6% of the county's locations are unserved. NTIA's BEAD rules count fiber, cable, DSL and licensed fixed wireless as reliable service, not unlicensed fixed wireless (see our methodology), so an address whose only fast offer comes over shared spectrum can stay on the unserved list. Reynolds County (46.1% unserved) and Osage County, where fixed wireless is the only 100/20 route at 78.4%1 of locations, follow the same pattern.

Farther southeast the gap is wider still. Carter County has the highest unserved share in the state, 66.9% of 3,351 locations, and a fiber share of 0.4%, tied for the lowest in Missouri. Satellite is the only service reported at 1,349 of its locations (40.3%), and the share with two wired providers at 100/20 Mbps is 0.0%. The largest terrestrial provider is T-Mobile, at 44.5% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 8.8%. In neighboring Ripley and Wayne counties, Kinetic, which reports DSL and fiber there, is the largest provider, and satellite is the only option at 17.5% and 23.7%1 of locations.

The metro counties sit at the other end. St. Louis County has one of the lowest unserved shares, 0.1%, and in Jackson County, around Kansas City, 91.3% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps. Statewide, 181 counties reach that level of choice for at least half their locations.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year detailed tables. Shares of broadband serviceable locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC). 2+ wired choices: two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps. Unserved: BEAD definition. Largest wired provider: reports fiber, cable or DSL at the most locations. Wired subscription: households with a cable, fiber or DSL subscription, American Community Survey 2020–2024 (± 90% margin of error).

BEAD: one of the three largest plans

Missouri's share of the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program is $1.74 billion, the 3rd highest6 allocation of any state. Its Final Proposal, prepared by the Missouri Office of Broadband Development and approved by NTIA, lists 204,366 locations to connect, again the 3rd highest total. The BEAD money committed to them is $790.5 million, about $3,868 for each location, and the winning providers add $429.8 million7 of their own.

The plan sits on top of older programs. The Treasury's Capital Projects Fund gave Missouri $196.7 million8, and the FCC's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund has paid out $71.1 million in the state, where providers report 74,1909 supported locations as built.

BEAD figures are as printed in NTIA's Final Proposal overview, subject to final review; "not assigned to deployment" is the allocation minus the deployment cost (NTIA calls it savings; how it may be used is not settled). The ACP stopped taking applications on February 8, 2024 and ended on June 1, 2024.

By technology, the BEAD list leans on fiber: 167,282 locations (81.9%), the 7th highest fiber share of any state plan. Low-Earth-orbit satellite takes 23,378 (11.4%) and fixed wireless 11,494 (5.6%). That leaves $945.8 million7 of the allocation outside the construction plan; as of November 2026 NTIA had not settled what it can be spent on.

No price data, a phone-only habit

Price searches cannot be answered from the FCC map: providers file coverage and speeds, never what they charge. Subscription figures can be. Census Bureau survey results for 2025 put the share of Missouri households paying for any broadband at 92.7% (90% margin ±0.3 percentage points), a share that ranks tied for 11th lowest among the states; in 2019 it was 84.8%15. A home line of cable, fiber or DSL was in 72.6% of households (±0.6 percentage points). What stands out is the phone: 14.0% of Missouri households (±0.4 percentage points) get online only through a cellular data plan, a share that ranks 13th highest. The gap by income is wide, 79.4% with broadband below $20,000 a year and 97.0%14 at $75,000 and above.

For help with the bill, the federal option still open is Lifeline, $9.25 off each month for qualifying low-income households. USAC counted 87,41011 Missouri subscribers and estimates participation at 18.8%12 of those eligible. The larger, temporary Affordable Connectivity Program had enrolled 395,50413 Missouri households (about 15.8 per 100 households16) when it stopped taking new sign-ups in February 2024; it ended on June 1, 2024. Among Missouri households without home internet use, NTIA's 2023 survey found 10.3%17 citing cost as the main reason, an estimate with a margin of several points.

Questions and answers

What internet providers serve Missouri?

Leaving out satellite, the widest reported footprints are T-Mobile (70.1% of locations) and Verizon (61.2%), both with licensed fixed wireless, then AT&T (58.1%, fiber and DSL and licensed fixed wireless) and Spectrum (47.7%, fiber and cable). Wisper ISP (36.5%), Brightspeed (23.3%), Google Fiber (10.9%) and Mediacom (8.5%1) follow, along with dozens of local fiber companies.

How many Missouri homes lack broadband?

91,448 homes and businesses (3.6%1), counted as FCC locations, were unserved on June 30, 2026: no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps. Carter, Shannon and Reynolds counties in the Ozarks have the highest shares, often where unlicensed fixed wireless, which BEAD does not count, is the fast option.

What is the cheapest internet in Missouri?

No official source ranks Missouri prices, and providers do not file prices with the FCC; each plan's price and fees are on the provider's broadband facts label. The remaining federal discount is Lifeline, $9.25 a month for eligible low-income households, used by 87,41011 Missouri subscribers, an estimated 18.8%12 of those eligible.

How much BEAD money does Missouri get?

Missouri's allocation is $1.74 billion, the 3rd highest6 among the states, and its approved plan covers the 3rd highest number of locations, 204,366, for $790.5 million. $945.8 million7 is not assigned to construction.

Is fiber available at my address in Missouri?

This page covers areas, not addresses. The FCC's National Broadband Map lists every provider that reports service at an address, and a listing that is wrong can be challenged there.

Checking one address in Missouri

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.
