Tulsa in Oklahoma
In Tulsa, Cox's cable network reaches almost every home and business, and the change of the last four years has come from AT&T's fiber growing alongside it. Fiber rose from 43.7% of locations in June 2022 to 73.3% in June 2026, and the share of locations with only one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps fell from 57.2%2 to 25.3%1.
Cox, AT&T and the wireless carriers
Two wired networks cover most of Tulsa. Cox reports service at 93.1% of the city's 140,106 homes and businesses and offers 100/20 Mbps or more at all of them; nearly all of it is cable, with fiber at 3.8%. AT&T reports service at 89.3%, a mix of fiber (65.4%1), DSL over telephone copper and fixed wireless. Verizon and T-Mobile report fixed wireless home internet across most of the city.

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.
The table counts the locations inside Tulsa's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census, as reported by each provider to the FCC as of June 30, 2026 (revision November 10, 2026). A provider reports a location as served if it could install standard service there within ten business days, and anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC National Broadband Map.
The smaller wired companies each cover a slice of the city. Kinetic reports fiber at 5.3% of locations and still has some DSL; Metronet reports fiber at 1.9% and BTC Broadband at 0.9%1. None of them is a citywide network.
Fiber went from under half the city to most of it
In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, fiber was reported at 43.7%2 of Tulsa's locations. Four years later it reaches 73.3%, a rise of 29.7 percentage points, with 3.9 percentage points of that added in the last six months alone. Tulsa now sits slightly above Oklahoma (71.5%) and well above the US (62.6%1).
AT&T accounts for most of the fiber, and copper shrank as fiber grew: DSL, mostly AT&T's, fell from 56.8%2 of locations to 41.7%. 5 companies report fiber somewhere in the city, a count that ranks tied for 103rd highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, but their networks rarely meet. Only 3.5%1 of locations have two or more fiber providers.

How many wired choices a Tulsa address has
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 95.8% of locations. The question for most residents is whether there is a second wire, and since 2022 the answer has become yes at many more addresses. The share of locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps rose from 42.5%2 to 70.5%, against 51.5% statewide. On average a Tulsa location has 1.681 such providers.
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.

| Area | None | One | Two | Three or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tulsa | 4.2% | 25.3% | 69.0% | 1.5% |

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
Most of that choice is a pair, Cox and AT&T fiber. Three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps are reported at 1.5% of locations. Cox remains the only wired provider at that speed at 22.7% of locations, which is where AT&T's fiber has not arrived; AT&T is the only one at 2.3%1.
The top advertised tier moved from 940 Mbps to 2 Gbps
The speed record shows a citywide change that the coverage shares hide. In June 2022 the fastest advertised download at 75.6% of Tulsa's locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps, and 2 Gbps or more was advertised at 24.1%2. By June 2026 the 2 Gbps tier covered 95.4%, against 63.8% across Oklahoma. Cox's advertised maximum is 2 Gbps; AT&T advertises up to 5 Gbps1 on fiber.
Uploads changed as well. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, went from 37.5%2 of locations to 91.0%1. Because that share is larger than the fiber share, part of those gigabit offers must come over networks other than fiber. Every figure here is a provider's advertised maximum.

Fixed wireless: two carriers at most addresses
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 94.3% of locations. The bigger shift is in speed: the share where it reaches 100/20 Mbps rose from 28.5%2 in June 2022 to 71.0%, the 61st highest share among large cities. Verizon offers 100/20 Mbps at 57.1% of locations, with an advertised maximum of 1 Gbps; T-Mobile at 35.3%. The Junction Internet, a smaller fixed wireless company, reports 2.8%1.
Unlicensed fixed wireless, which uses shared bands, all but disappeared from the filings: from 34.9%2 of locations in 2022 to 0.1%1. Wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so these shares show where providers report service, not how many homes could sign up at once.
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.

The small remainder without a fast line
Gaps in Tulsa are small but have not closed. 5,901 locations (4.2%) have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. For 1,541 of them fixed wireless is the only service at that speed, and 4,360 have no terrestrial service of 100/20 Mbps at all. 1211 locations are reported to have satellite only.
By the definitions of the federal BEAD program, 442 locations (0.3%) are unserved: their best reliable service, counting wired lines and licensed fixed wireless, is below 25/3 Mbps. That share grew by 0.2 percentage points since 2022, a rise that ranks tied for 13th highest1 among large cities, even as fiber spread through the rest of Tulsa. The FCC filings record the change, not its cause.

Phone-only households
The Census Bureau's survey counts households rather than locations, so it measures what people buy, not what is offered. In 2025, 93.3% of Tulsa households had a broadband subscription of any kind (margin of error ±0.9 percentage points), up from 86.6%5 in 2019. Cable, fiber or DSL subscriptions stood at 73.3%4.
16.5% of households relied only on a cellular data plan (margin ±1.4 percentage points), a point estimate ranking tied for 47th highest among large cities, compared with 15.7% statewide. 6.5%4 had no internet subscription. With a wired line of 100/20 Mbps reported at almost every location, the difference lies in what households buy rather than in where lines run.

Checking one address in Tulsa
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.
