Las Cruces in New Mexico
Las Cruces has one wire that reaches nearly everyone, Xfinity's cable, and a fiber network that appeared on the FCC map after 2022. Fiber was reported at 3.5%2 of the city's homes and businesses in June 2022 and at 36.0% on June 30, 2026, most of it Metronet's. At 59.8%1 of locations Xfinity is still the only wired provider at 100/20 Mbps.
The provider list, ranked two ways
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 9 companies report wired or fixed wireless internet at some of the city's 42,1091 broadband serviceable locations. A location is a single house, an apartment building or a small business; the city is drawn with its 2020 census limits. "Reports" means the company told the FCC it could install service within ten business days; anyone can challenge a filing on the FCC map.

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, Starlink, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Reach and speed rank the companies differently. TWN Communications heads the list at 99.9% of locations, over unlicensed fixed wireless, but reports 100/20 Mbps at 0.0%. Among wired networks, Xfinity offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 99.4% of locations, Metronet at 31.2% and CenturyLink at 9.2%1.
Metronet's fiber since 2022
Fiber is the change that shows most in Las Cruces. In June 2022 the FCC data had fiber at 3.5% of locations, and by December 2025 at 35.1%3. In June 2026 it is 36.0%, and the number of companies reporting fiber went from 12 to 4. Metronet, which reported nothing here in 2022, now reports residential fiber at 31.2% of locations (13,135), advertised up to 5 Gbps1.

One filing detail matters for anyone comparing with the FCC map. In the FCC's location-level fiber file for New Mexico for June 30, 2026, most of Metronet's Las Cruces records are filed under Metronet Holdings and coded as business service, and a smaller set under the Vexus Fiber brand is coded for homes and businesses. Metronet became a wholesale network after T-Mobile and KKR bought it in 2025, and its home customers moved to T-Mobile, so this site counts its fiber as service a household can order, as the methodology explains. The fiber share was 35.1%3 in December 2025, close to the June 2026 figure.
Competing fiber lines on the same street are almost absent: two or more fiber networks reach 0.3% of locations, against 12.1% nationally. CenturyLink reports fiber at 4.7%, filed for homes and businesses, and Xfinity at 0.2%1.
Xfinity, the wire almost everyone has
Cable is reported at 99.2% of Las Cruces locations, all of it Xfinity, and wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.5%. Xfinity is the only wired provider at that speed for 59.8% of locations. The city's single-wire share, 59.9%, ranks tied for 41st highest1 among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more; it was 91.1%2 in June 2022, before Metronet's filings.
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% |
Locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps went from 7.9%2 to 39.7% over the four years, above New Mexico's 28.3% but below the national 55.6%1. Almost all of that rise came before December 2025, when the share was already 38.7%3.
CenturyLink's copper network
The telephone network still covers most of the city. DSL is reported at 83.5% of locations, the 15th highest share among large cities, against 36.2% nationally. Statewide the DSL share is 72.2%, the highest of any state. CenturyLink reports service at 88.1% of locations, but offers 100/20 Mbps at only 9.2%, and it is the only wired provider at that speed at 0.0% of locations. Its fastest advertised plan, 1 Gbps1, is on fiber.

Fixed wireless from carriers and local operators
Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more, the category that includes 5G home internet, went from 1.0%2 of locations in June 2022 to 65.3%1 in June 2026. Verizon accounts for most of it:
- Verizon reports 89.5% of locations, advertised up to 300 Mbps, with 100/20 Mbps at 60.4%.
- T-Mobile reports 71.6%, advertised up to 100 Mbps; AT&T reports 30.6%, also up to 100 Mbps.
- Hawk Networks, new in the data since 2022, reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 37.7% of locations, advertised up to 200 Mbps.
- CentraCom reports 22.9%1, almost all of it fixed wireless.
A wireless filing marks where the provider says it can connect a home; because a tower sector serves a limited number of subscribers, the carrier's own address check has the last word. Only 142 locations rely on fixed wireless alone for 100/20 Mbps, and 21 have satellite as their only option.
Gigabit uploads since 2022
A 1 Gbps download is advertised at 99.5% of locations, almost entirely over Xfinity's cable, and the share was 99.0% four years earlier. Cable uploads are far slower than cable downloads, which is why the 1,000/100 measure, a gigabit down with 100 Mbps or more up, tells a different story: it rose from 0.0%2 of locations in June 2022 to 42.9% in June 2026, still the 24th lowest share among large cities. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or more reached 43.1%1. These are maximum speeds providers advertise, not measurements.
Multi-gigabit plans are newer still. At 35.0% of locations some provider advertises 2 Gbps or more, up from 0.0%2 in 2022; at 64.5%1 the fastest advertised plan is about 1 Gbps.

Checking one address in Las Cruces
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.
