Oregon internet, where the south coast is wired ahead of the capital
Fiber is available at 55.2% of the 1,521,347 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Oregon, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 91.0%. 48.7% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 42.3% there is only one.1
FCC National Broadband Map, availability as of June 30, 2026 (data revised November 10, 2026), as reported by providers.
West region, Pacific division
Oregon's best-wired corner is not Portland but the southern coast, where fiber reaches nearly every address in Curry County and most of Coos and Douglas counties. Around Salem, Bend and on the north coast fiber reaches only a minority of locations, and in the high desert of Lake and Wheeler counties about half of all locations are unserved.
Who reports home internet in Oregon
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 74 companies report wired or fixed wireless service at Oregon's 1.5 million1 broadband serviceable locations, the FCC's term for each home, apartment building or business that can take a connection. "Reported available" means the provider says it could install standard service within ten business days; the listing can be challenged.
The two widest footprints are radio, not wire. T-Mobile reports licensed fixed wireless, including 5G home internet, at 65.9% of locations and Verizon at 65.6%, but they offer 100/20 Mbps at only 21.7% and 24.9% respectively. AT&T looks large for the same reason: it reports service at 42.8% of locations, mostly by fixed wireless, with fiber at 14.4%1.
Among wired networks, Xfinity's cable system has the widest reach, at 52.0% of locations; in Marion County alone it reports service at 72.9%. CenturyLink reports service at 41.9%, but almost all of it is DSL: it offers 100/20 Mbps at only 2.7%. Spectrum covers 23.3%, mostly in the south and along the coast. Ziply Fiber, which also still runs some copper lines, reports fiber at 18.7%1 of the state's locations, the largest fiber footprint of any single company here.

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.
Regional networks fill in the map. Hunter Communications reports service at 10.1% of locations, with fiber at 6.7%; TDS reports 6.5%, most of it in Deschutes County; Alyrica reports 16.9%1, mostly by fixed wireless.
Fiber trails the country
Fiber is reported at 55.2% of Oregon's locations, the 13th lowest share among the 50 states and DC and below the national 62.6%. In June 2022 the two were level: 39.1% in Oregon, 37.2%2 nationally. Since then Oregon's share has risen by 16.1 percentage points and the national share by 25.4 percentage points1, so the state has fallen behind.

Cable fills much of the difference. It reaches 82.5% of locations, the 17th highest share. A 1 Gbps download tier is advertised at 90.8% of locations, but gigabit service with 100 Mbps uploads reaches only 69.1%. Two separate fiber networks overlap at only 6.1%1 of locations.
Two coasts, two different maps
The county where fiber is most complete is Curry County, on the California border, at 93.3% of locations. Its largest provider is Beacon Broadband Inc, a fiber network reporting service at 90.0% of the county, and Spectrum adds a second wire at 83.8%. Neighboring Coos County has fiber at 81.6% and Douglas County at 78.1%, where the local network DFN reports fiber at 74.1%1 of locations.

The north coast looks nothing like it. In Clatsop County fiber reaches 12.8% of locations and in Tillamook County 6.2%. Both rely mainly on Spectrum, which reports service at 89.7% and 90.9% of their locations, and both have a single wired 100/20 provider at most locations: 89.0% in Clatsop and 86.9%1 in Tillamook.
The populous interior has less fiber than the south coast too. Marion County, which contains Salem, has fiber at 27.8% of locations, and Salem itself at 26.9%, the 24th lowest share among the 343 largest US cities. In Deschutes County, around Bend, fiber is at 34.4%. The Portland-area counties are the exception in the north: 81.1% in Washington County and 78.5%1 in Multnomah.
One wired choice at 42.3% of locations
Wired 100/20 Mbps service is reported at 91.0% of Oregon's locations. Competition is thinner: at 42.3% one wired provider offers that speed, a share that ranks tied for 17th highest among the states, and 48.7% have two or more, against 55.6% nationally. That share has grown by 11.4 percentage points since 2022, the 9th lowest1 increase among the states.

Which company is the only wire depends on the region. Xfinity is the sole wired 100/20 provider at 18.2% of Oregon's locations, Spectrum at 11.6% and TDS at 5.3%. In Deschutes County, where TDS reports service at 91.4% of locations, only 15.6% have a second wired choice. In Grant County the share with two or more is 0.1%, even though fiber reaches most of the county; on the south coast, Curry County has the highest share, 80.8%1.
Southern Oregon rewired since 2022
Several of the largest county gains since the first National Broadband Map came in Lane County and the counties south of it. Between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, the fiber share rose by 60.1 percentage points in Curry County, 48.1 percentage points in Josephine County, 41.1 percentage points in Lane County and 37.3 percentage points in Jackson County. In the Portland-area counties the share barely moved (+1.9 percentage points in Multnomah, −0.3 percentage points in Washington), and in Umatilla County it rose by only 0.3 percentage points1.

Two eastern counties also stand out. Grant County went up by 62.5 percentage points and Baker County by 53.9 percentage points, so fiber now reaches 76.8% and 67.5%1 of their locations.
Statewide, DSL's share fell by 24.9 percentage points over the four years, more than fiber's share rose, and the share of locations with symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service rose by 31.2 percentage points1.

Lake, Wheeler and Gilliam: the high-desert gaps
Statewide, 58,438 locations (3.8%) are unserved under the federal BEAD definition, a share that ranks tied for 14th highest among the states, against 2.4% nationally. Another 34,040 are underserved, with nothing reliable at 100/20 Mbps. The shares are highest in thinly settled counties east of the Cascades; by count, the largest number of unserved locations in any county is in Klamath County, at 4,8531.

In Lake County, 51.7% of the 4,916 locations are unserved and fiber reaches 1.7%, the lowest share in the state. Its largest provider, Stimulus Technologies, is an unlicensed fixed wireless network. In Wheeler County, with 1,091 locations, 50.6% are unserved and satellite is the only service at 44.9%, the highest satellite-only share of any Oregon county. Gilliam (44.7% unserved), Morrow (33.8%) and Sherman (31.8%1) follow.
Radio links are the fast option in parts of the east. In Malheur County, on the Idaho border, 27.7% of locations can get 100/20 Mbps only by fixed wireless; in Crook County the share is 22.9%. Statewide the satellite-only share has risen by 0.9 percentage points since 2022, to 1.7%, the 12th highest1 among the states.

The figure that sets Oregon apart is at the bottom of the income scale: 86.5% of households earning under $20,000 subscribed (margin ±2.0 percentage points), the highest point estimate of any state, against 97.6%6 of households earning $75,000 or more.

BEAD: fiber for half, satellite for nearly as many
Oregon's Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) plan spends most of its money: of the $688.9 million10 allocation, the approved Final Proposal covers 104,654 locations at a BEAD cost of $587.9 million, or $5,617 per location, the 14th highest among the states with a plan. Providers committed a further $354.4 million11. Business Oregon publishes the plan documents on its BEAD program page.

| Technology | Share of BEAD locations |
|---|---|
| Fiber | 52.5% |
| Cable | 0.0% |
| Fixed wireless | 1.1% |
| Low-Earth-orbit satellite | 46.5% |
The plan assigns 54,895 locations (52.5%) to fiber and 48,631 (46.5%) to low-Earth-orbit satellite, the 5th highest satellite share of any state plan. Fixed wireless gets 1,128 locations. $101.1 million11 of the allocation is not assigned to construction; its use was not settled as of November 2026.
Earlier programs are smaller. Oregon received $156.8 million12 from the Treasury's Capital Projects Fund, and the FCC's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund has paid out $43.3 million in the state, where its recipients report service deployed at 19,64813 locations.

Oregon internet questions
What internet providers serve Oregon?
Leaving out satellite, the widest reported footprints belong to T-Mobile (65.9% of locations) and Verizon (65.6%), both mainly 5G and other licensed fixed wireless. The largest wired networks are Xfinity cable (52.0%), CenturyLink, mostly DSL (41.9%), Spectrum (23.3%) and Ziply Fiber (19.2%). In all, 741 companies report terrestrial service somewhere in the state as of June 30, 2026.
How much of Oregon has fiber internet?
Fiber is reported at 55.2% of Oregon's broadband serviceable locations as of June 30, 2026, the 13th lowest share among the states, up from 39.1%2 in June 2022. 531 providers report fiber somewhere in Oregon. Whether a given address has it can only be checked on the FCC's National Broadband Map.
How many Oregon homes lack broadband?
The FCC measures homes and businesses, not people, and Oregon's gap is concentrated east of the Cascades, in Lake, Wheeler and Gilliam counties. Statewide, 58,438 locations (3.8%) are unserved under the BEAD definition, with no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps, and 34,040 more are underserved, below 100/20 Mbps. At 25,1231 locations satellite is the only service reported.
Is there cheap or low-income internet in Oregon?
Prices are outside the FCC data, and no official source compares Oregon plans; each provider posts a broadband facts label with the price and fees of every plan. Lifeline, the federal $9.25 monthly discount, is little used here: USAC estimates that 5.5% of eligible Oregon households take it, the 2nd lowest9 rate among the states. The larger Affordable Connectivity Program ended on June 1, 2024.
Checking one address in Oregon
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.
