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 in this table is the share of locations where the company says it could install standard service within ten business days. It is self-reported, open to challenge on the FCC map, and silent on prices. Satellite companies report every location in the city and are left out of the counts below.
Fiber nearly doubled since 2022
In June 2022, fiber was reported at 34.4% of Sparks locations. By June 2026 it was 62.6%, a rise of 28.3 percentage points. Nevada as a whole went from 22.5%2 to 44.7% over the same period. Even so, among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Sparks ranks tied for 131st lowest for fiber; the median large city is at 74.0%1.

Almost all of it is one network. AT&T reports fiber at 60.9% of locations; Spectrum reports fiber at 4.3%, and a small local fiber company at 0.8%. Although 4 companies report fiber somewhere in the city, two fiber networks overlap at only 1,196 locations (3.4%1).

| Two or more wired choices | 43.1% | 63.2% | 65.1% | 22.0 pts |
Copper moved the other way. DSL was reported at 72.7%2 of locations in 2022 and is at 49.9% now. Outside its fiber, AT&T rarely adds a fast option: it offers 100/20 Mbps at 66.3% of locations, little more than its fiber share, against the 92.1%1 where it reports any service.
The FCC's count of locations in Sparks has changed by +3,8401 since June 2022, which is why this page compares shares rather than counts.
Where Spectrum is still the only wire
The fiber line is also the line between one wired choice and two. Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 97.4% of locations. At 65.1%, two wired providers offer it, nearly always Spectrum and AT&T fiber. At 32.2%, only one does, and Spectrum is the sole wired provider at that speed for 31.5%. A third wired choice at that speed is reported at 0.0%1.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Different wired providers (fiber, cable or DSL; FCC provider IDs) reporting 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up or more at the same location. Fixed wireless and satellite are not counted.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The single-wire share was 53.1%2 in June 2022. Today Sparks has a larger share of locations with two wired choices than Nevada (34.9%) and the US (55.6%). Next door in Reno, where AT&T reports fiber at 52.1% of locations, the single-wire share is higher, at 41.6%1.
The gaps are small. 938 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; fixed wireless is the only option at that speed for 9361, and none depend on satellite alone.
Gigabit on paper almost everywhere
Sparks is tied for the highest share among large cities for gigabit service in the FCC's 1,000/100 tier: 99.9% of locations. That tier counts every terrestrial technology, fixed wireless included, so it is a statement about what providers file, not about any one connection. The wired measure tells more: symmetrical 100/100 Mbps over wires is reported at 97.3% of locations, up from 34.3%2 in 2022. Fiber accounts for 62.6%1, so cable filings, which in Sparks are Spectrum's, make up most of the rest.

| United States | 2.4% | 1.6% | 1.8% | 1.4% | 0.9% | 31.0% | 61.0% |
The fastest advertised download separates the two wires. It is about 1 Gbps at 41.6% of locations, largely where Spectrum is the fastest wire, and 2 Gbps or more at 58.3%, up from 25.7%2 in 2022, largely within AT&T's fiber footprint, where it advertises up to 5 Gbps1. All of these are maximum advertised speeds reported to the FCC, not measurements.
Wireless companies cover the whole city
Fixed wireless is reported at 100.0% of Sparks locations. Over unlicensed spectrum the share is 100.0%, tied for the highest among large cities, against 19.7% nationally. Net NV, which reported no Sparks locations in 2022, now reports 99.2%, with downloads advertised at up to 1 Gbps. Hot Spot Broadband reports 68.8%, Tristate Wi-Fi by Wi-Fiber, Phoenix Internet 59.2% and Truckee Meadows Internet 18.7%1.
The mobile carriers file licensed fixed wireless, which covers 5G home internet. Verizon reported 28,189 Sparks locations in June 2026, against almost none in 2022, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 43.1%. T-Mobile reports 79.4% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 11.8%. World Mobile Networks reports 89.8% but offers 100/20 Mbps at 0.0%1. A tower's capacity is shared by everyone it serves, so wireless providers can turn down an address that the map shows as covered.
