Broken Arrow in Oklahoma
Few large American cities have been rewired as quickly as Broken Arrow. In June 2022 fiber was reported at 14.7% of its homes and businesses and DSL over telephone copper at 97.3%2; by June 2026 fiber reached 87.9% and DSL 15.2%. Kinetic, Metronet and Cox report most of that fiber, and two or more of their networks overlap at 43.6%1 of locations.
Cox, Kinetic and Metronet carry most of the wired service
Cox is the one wired provider that reaches almost every address: it reports service at 96.2% of the city's 42,683 homes and businesses and offers 100/20 Mbps or more at all of them. A large part of Cox's Broken Arrow footprint is reported as fiber: 27.0% of locations, with cable at the rest. In Tulsa, Cox reports fiber at 3.8%1.
Kinetic reports service at 73.3% of locations: fiber at 60.1%, and most of the city's remaining DSL. Metronet, absent from the 2022 map, reports fiber at 44.6%, advertised up to 5 Gbps. Dobson Fiber (4.4%) and BTC Broadband (1.0%1) report fiber in smaller areas.

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 (Starlink, Viasat, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
These are the providers' own filings with the FCC, as of June 30, 2026 (revision November 10, 2026), for locations inside the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. A location counts as served when the provider could install standard service there within ten business days, and listings can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map. AT&T's large share is mostly fixed wireless, not wired lines; it offers 100/20 Mbps at only 9.7%1 of locations.
Copper to fiber in four years
The first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, described a city served mostly by two older networks: cable at 97.6% of locations and DSL at 97.3%2. Fiber has since risen by 73.2 percentage points, an increase that ranks 13th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, and 7.5 percentage points of it came in the six months after December 2025. DSL fell by 82.1 percentage points1 over the same four years.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber available | 14.7% | 80.4% | 87.9% | 73.2 pts |
| DSL available | 97.3% | 33.0% | 15.2% | −82.1 pts |

| Two or more fiber networks | 1.1% | 25.6% | 43.6% | 42.6 pts |
The cable share also fell, from 97.6% to 69.1%, now the 7th lowest share among large cities. That is not a loss of service: Cox still reports 96.2% of locations, and the fiber it now reports at 27.0% of them is about the size of the cable drop. The number of companies reporting fiber in the city went from 32 to 61.
Where fiber networks overlap
With Kinetic, Metronet and Cox each reporting fiber across large parts of the city, many locations now have more than one network. 43.6% of locations have two or more different fiber providers, up from 1.1%2 in 2022; that is the 39th highest share among large cities. Across Oklahoma the share is 15.4%1.
| Measure | Broken Arrow | Oklahoma | United States | Rank among largest cities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber available | 87.9% | 71.5% | 62.6% | tied 94th of 343 |
| Two or more fiber networks | 43.6% | 15.4% | 12.1% | 39th of 343 |

Advertised speeds followed the fiber. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, was advertised at 13.6% of locations in 2022 and at 98.6% in 2026; symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service grew from 15.5%2 to 98.6%. The highest advertised maximums are 10 Gbps from Dobson Fiber and 5 Gbps1 from AT&T. These are the fastest plans providers advertise, not speeds anyone measured.
Most addresses went from one fast wire to two or three
In 2022, 71.3% of Broken Arrow's locations had exactly one wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. In 2026 that share is 17.8%, and the share with two or more is 81.2%, against 51.5% statewide. Three or more wired providers at that speed are reported at 31.7%1 of locations, up from 0.0%2.
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% |
Where only one wire remains, it is nearly always Cox: it is the sole wired provider at 100/20 Mbps at 15.6% of locations, Kinetic at 1.9%. 403 locations (0.9%) have no wired provider at that speed, and 371 are unserved by the BEAD program's definition, with no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps.
Fixed wireless reported almost everywhere
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 98.7% of locations, a share that ranks tied for 29th highest among large cities; across Oklahoma it is 89.9%. The 2022 filings already showed it at 95.3%, but the share where it reaches 100/20 Mbps has risen from 14.7%2 to 71.3%. Verizon reports 88.0% of locations and offers 100/20 Mbps at 38.1%, with an advertised maximum of 300 Mbps. T-Mobile reports 89.2%, with 100/20 at 35.3%. AT&T, which reported a single Broken Arrow location in 2022, now reports 65.9%, almost all of it fixed wireless. The Junction Internet, a smaller wireless company, reports 16.6%1.

Wireless capacity is shared across each tower sector, so carriers accept sign-ups address by address. A reported location means the carrier says it could serve it, not that every home on the street could join at once.
What Broken Arrow households subscribe to

Yes, at 44.6% of locations (19,028), advertised up to 5 Gbps1; it reported no locations in the city in June 2022.

An address check confirms service at a home.
Checking one address in Broken Arrow
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.
