Lee's Summit in Missouri
Lee's Summit already had fiber almost everywhere by the date of the first National Broadband Map, and today Google Fiber alone reports it at 93.5% of the city's homes and businesses. The cable side is split: Spectrum serves part of the city and Xfinity most of the rest, so nearly every location has two wired choices, but only 33.1%1 have three.
Providers reporting service in Lee's Summit
The FCC counts 35,674 homes and businesses inside Lee's Summit's 2020 city limits, as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). Four companies report some kind of service at three-quarters or more of them. AT&T reaches 95.6%, but with fiber at only 20.5%; the rest is DSL over telephone copper or fixed wireless. Google Fiber reaches 93.5%, all of it fiber. T-Mobile (93.5%) and Verizon (71.5%1) report fixed wireless home internet.

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.
Cable comes from two companies rather than one: Spectrum at 65.8% of locations and Xfinity at 32.4%. Wisper, a fixed wireless company, reports 60.0%. Everfast Fiber (7.3%) and KC Web (1.7%1) cover smaller areas. HughesNet, Starlink and Viasat report satellite service at every location, as they do across most of the country, so they are left out of the counts that follow.
A provider reports a location when it serves it or could install standard service there within ten business days. Reports can be challenged location by location on the FCC map, which is also the place to check a single address.
Fiber came early
Lee's Summit was already a fiber city when the FCC's map began. In the first release, as of June 30, 2022, fiber already reached 92.7%2 of locations. It now reaches 95.8%, a share that ranks tied for 18th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, against 69.1% for Missouri and 62.6% for the US. With so little left to cover, the rise of 3.1 percentage points since 2022 is small; it ranks 51st lowest1 among those cities.

| Area | Fiber available |
|---|---|
| Overland Park | 99.3% |
| Olathe | 98.1% |
| Kansas City | 97.4% |
| Independence | 96.2% |
| Lee's Summit | 95.8% |
| Kansas City | 94.2% |
| Missouri | 69.1% |
| United States | 62.6% |
The suburbs on both sides of the state line look alike on this measure: Overland Park is at 99.3% and Olathe at 98.1%. Google Fiber advertises downloads up to 8 Gbps in Lee's Summit, and a top advertised tier of 2 Gbps or more applies at 96.3% of locations. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) is advertised at 96.8%1. These are maximum speeds the providers advertise, not measurements.
Spectrum in one part of the city, Xfinity in the other
Most cities have a single cable company. Lee's Summit has two, and their areas barely overlap. Spectrum reports service at 65.8% of locations, mostly over cable, and Xfinity at 32.4%. Together they add up to only a little more than the city's total cable share of 95.1%, so a given address is generally in one company's area or the other's, not both. Both advertise gigabit downloads: Spectrum up to 1 Gbps, Xfinity up to 2 Gbps1.
The split differs from the neighboring cities. In Kansas City Spectrum reports 95.6% of locations; in Independence Xfinity reports 98.6%1. For someone moving within Lee's Summit, which cable company serves a street depends on the street; the fiber option does not, because Google Fiber's footprint covers nearly the whole city on both sides of the cable boundary.
Two wired choices almost everywhere
Put the fiber network and the cable network together and almost every location has a choice. At 94.9% of locations, two or more wired providers offer at least 100/20 Mbps, the 25th highest share among large cities; Missouri as a whole is at 55.1%. The share with a single wired provider at that speed is 3.0%, 13th lowest among large cities. Neither cable company is the sole wired option at more than a sliver of locations: Spectrum at 1.3%, Xfinity at 0.9%1.
A third wire is less common. AT&T offers 100/20 Mbps at 33.7% of locations, including its fiber at 20.5%, and Everfast Fiber reports fiber at 7.3%; Everfast did not report any Lee's Summit locations in the June 2022 data. Three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps are reported at 33.1% of locations, and two or more fiber networks at 26.0%1.
Overlap rose, then fell back
Both measures of extra choice climbed after 2022 and then dropped in the latest release. Locations with two or more fiber providers went from 9.7% in June 2022 to 34.9% in December 2025, then to 26.0% in June 2026. Locations with three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps followed the same path: 19.3%, 41.2%, 33.1%. The number of distinct fiber providers reporting in the city went from 42 to 53 and back to 51.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two or more fiber networks | 9.7% | 34.9% | 26.0% | 16.4 pts |
| Three or more wired choices | 19.3% | 41.2% | 33.1% | 13.7 pts |
| One wired choice | 4.8% | 3.3% | 3.0% | −1.8 pts |
| DSL available | 84.8% | 80.1% | 79.2% | −5.6 pts |
The FCC data record these changes without giving reasons, and each release is the providers' own report for that date. Even after the drop, Lee's Summit's fiber overlap is above Missouri's 18.3%1.
Fixed wireless, local and national
Fixed wireless is reported at 99.2% of locations. T-Mobile offers 100/20 Mbps at 39.5% of locations and Verizon at 18.2%, well below their full footprints. Wisper, which uses both licensed and unlicensed spectrum, reports 100/20 Mbps at 55.9% and advertises up to 400 Mbps. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more now reaches 78.5%1 of locations, up from 54.5%2 in 2022. A tower sector's capacity is shared, so a location shown on the map may still be turned away when a sector is full.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of broadband serviceable locations where at least one provider reports the technology, at any speed; a location can have several. Satellite is reported almost everywhere and is left out.

| Technology | Lee's Summit | Missouri |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber | 95.8% | 69.1% |
| Cable | 95.1% | 68.1% |
| DSL (copper) | 79.2% | 47.6% |
| Licensed fixed wireless (incl. 5G home) | 98.9% | 89.0% |
| Unlicensed fixed wireless | 5.6% | 57.8% |
Copper has not disappeared. DSL is still reported at 79.2% of locations, which ranks tied for 26th highest1 among large cities, down from 84.8%2 in 2022.
The gaps are counted in single locations, not shares. 755 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps, 658 reach that speed only by fixed wireless, and none depend on satellite alone. Under the federal BEAD definition, 5 locations are unserved (no reliable land-based service of at least 25/3 Mbps) and 151 are underserved.
Subscriptions are near the top too
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey asks households what they actually subscribe to. In 2025, 97.7% of Lee's Summit households had a broadband subscription of any kind (margin of error ±1.2 percentage points), tied for 23rd highest among large cities by point estimate, against 92.7% for Missouri (±0.3 percentage points4). In 2019 the city's figure was 93.5% (±2.3 percentage points5); the two ranges do not overlap, so the rise is more than survey noise.

| Measure | Share | MOE |

| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 97.9% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 86.5% | ±2.0 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 8.5% | ±2.7 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 2.3% | ±1.1 |
86.5% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±2.0 percentage points), 8.5% relied only on a cellular data plan (±2.7 percentage points) and 2.3% had no internet subscription (±1.1 percentage points4). The survey counts households over a year; the FCC counts locations on a single date, so the two sets of figures sit side by side rather than subtract.

Checking one address in Lee's Summit
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.
