Yonkers in New York
Fiber is reported at 96.3% of Yonkers locations in the FCC's data: Optimum reports it at 90.3% and Verizon at 73.5%. Where Verizon's fiber stops, Optimum is usually the only wired choice at 100/20 Mbps, and that share of the city has grown since 2022 to 26.9%1.
Optimum, Verizon and almost no one else by wire
Two companies run wired networks across Yonkers. Optimum reports service at 94.7% of the city's 29,277 homes and businesses, with 100/20 Mbps or more at 94.7% and a fastest advertised download of 10 Gbps. Verizon reports service at 93.6%: fiber at 73.5% of locations and fixed wireless at most of the rest, with up to 2.3 Gbps1 advertised on fiber.

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) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Below those two, the list thins out fast. Two DSL providers barely register: Andrena at 11 locations and Frontier at 1. Yonkers has 4 wired providers in all, a count tied for 42nd lowest1 among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more.
These are provider reports as of June 30, 2026, in the FCC revision of November 10, 2026. A provider that lists a location says it can install service there within ten business days; anyone who finds a listing wrong can challenge it on the FCC National Broadband Map.
Fiber at almost every location, mostly from Optimum
Fiber is reported at 96.3% of Yonkers locations, tied for 16th highest1 share among large cities. In June 2022 the Yonkers figure was 88.6%2.
Most of it comes from Optimum, which reports fiber at 90.3% of locations while also reporting cable at nearly all of its addresses (cable from any provider: 94.7%1). The FCC records each technology a provider offers at a location, so the two overlap. Whether a particular building is connected by fiber or by coaxial cable is a question for Optimum; the map says only that the company reports it can provide fiber there. In apartment buildings, a location is the building, not each unit.
Gigabit uploads now reported almost everywhere
In 2022, a 1 Gbps download was already advertised at 99.8% of locations, but gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, at only 26.0%2. In the June 2026 release it is advertised at 96.0%, tied for 109th highest share among large cities, against 62.7% for New York. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 96.0% of locations, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps service is reported at 96.3%1. These are providers' advertised maximums, not measured speeds.

Where Verizon's fiber ends, one wire remains
Fiber almost everywhere does not mean a choice everywhere. Verizon reports fiber at 73.5% of locations, close to the share of Yonkers with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, 70.7%. At 26.9%, or 7,860 locations, only one wired provider offers that speed, and at 24.1% of the city that provider is Optimum. Three or more wired choices are reported at 0.0%1.
Yonkers has less wired choice than the county around it. Across Westchester County, 84.6% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, and only 13.5% have one. Statewide the single-wire share is 35.8%1.

Fewer two-wire locations than in 2022
Since the first National Broadband Map, Yonkers has gained fiber and lost copper. Fiber rose by 7.7 percentage points, DSL over copper phone lines went from 13.1% of locations to 0.0%, and locations with two fiber networks went from 21.8%2 to 67.5%1.
Wired choice moved the other way. In June 2022, 84.3%2 of locations had two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps; by June 2026 the share was 70.7%, a drop of 13.7 percentage points. That is the 5th lowest change among large cities. New York City, by comparison, gained 25.9 percentage points. Since the December 2025 release the share has barely moved (−0.1 percentage points1).

The data record where providers report service, not why a report changed. What they do show is that today the second wire in Yonkers is, in practice, Verizon's fiber: locations with two fiber networks number 19,762, and locations with two or more wired choices of any kind 20,6911.
Yonkers beside Paterson and the region
Paterson, New Jersey, has a similar map: fiber at 94.7% of locations, Optimum and Verizon as the two largest providers, and Optimum as the only wired 100/20 provider at 26.5%. Its two-wire share also fell after 2022, by 21.8 percentage points1. The table sets the three cities beside Westchester County and the state.

Fixed wireless: three carriers, lower ceilings
The service sold as 5G or LTE home internet is reported at 85.4% of locations, down from 94.8%2 in 2022. T-Mobile reports it at 74.3% of locations but offers 100/20 Mbps at only 16.4%. AT&T, which reported no service in Yonkers in the 2022 release, now reports fixed wireless at 46.6%, with 100/20 Mbps at 8.2%. Both list 100 Mbps as their fastest advertised download. Verizon's fixed wireless fills in where its fiber does not reach, which is why its 100/20 Mbps share, 87.8%1, is higher than its fiber share.
Fixed wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so the carriers accept sign-ups address by address. Satellite from HughesNet, Starlink and Viasat is reported at every location, but no location in Yonkers depends on it alone.
Fewer households without a subscription
The Census Bureau's survey counts households, not locations, and is an estimate with a margin of error. In 2025, 76.1% of Yonkers households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±3.2 percentage points), close to 77.3% statewide. 16.3% relied only on a cellular data plan (±2.9 percentage points4).
The clearest change is in households without any internet subscription: 17.5% in 2019 (margin of error ±3.4 percentage points5) and 5.6% in 2025 (±1.8 percentage points4), a gap well outside both margins.

Checking one address in Yonkers
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.
