altafiber availability: Greater Cincinnati and Hawaii

Two home markets, and a few outliers

In the FCC National Broadband Map as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), altafiber lists 1,142,135 broadband serviceable locations: houses, apartment buildings and small businesses where it says it can connect service within ten business days of a request. Ohio holds the most, 704,211, or 15.5% of the state's locations. Hawaii is second by count, 274,707, but first by share: 85.7% of all locations in the state. Kentucky follows with 146,071 (7.9%¹).

The rest is small. Indiana has 10,165 locations, West Virginia 6,960 and Pennsylvania only 21¹. In those last two states the filing has no wire at all, only fixed wireless.

The filer is Cincinnati Bell Inc. Besides altafiber itself, it reports under the brand names Hawaiian Telcom, Agile Networks, Ohio Transparent Telecom, altafiber Extended Territories and altafiber Network Solutions; this page adds them all together. When Cincinnati Bell adopted the altafiber name in March 2022, the change covered Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and did not apply to the Hawaiian Telcom business.

What the filing lists, technology by technology

Fiber to the premises is the main network. altafiber reports it at 982,852 locations, and at 982,671 of them the listed speed is 100/20 Mbps or more. The fastest advertised download is 3 Gbps in the Ohio and Kentucky filings and 2.85 Gbps¹ in Hawaii.

Two older or narrower services sit beside it. Copper DSL remains at 51,021 locations, with a top advertised download of 50 Mbps; none of them, 0 in the data, reach 100/20. Licensed fixed wireless, a radio link from a tower to an antenna at the home, is listed at 134,759 locations, with up to 100 Mbps advertised, and reaches 100/20 at 36,388. The filing also contains 105¹ locations of unlicensed fixed wireless. A location can appear under more than one technology, so these counts add up to more than the total.

The wireless service is a mainland product. In Hawaii the filing lists only fiber and DSL (fiber and DSL¹), while Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana carry fixed wireless as well, and West Virginia and Pennsylvania nothing else.

Hawaii: second line in almost every neighborhood

In Hawaii, altafiber reports fiber at 81.8% of all locations. The statewide share of locations where any provider reports fiber is 82.7%, so nearly every fiber-served location in the state is in altafiber's fiber footprint. That share was 41.1% in June 2022; the rise of 41.7 percentage points is the 2nd highest among the 50 states and DC. Over the same period the share of Hawaii locations with any DSL fell from 30.6%³ to 10.2%¹.

altafiber is not the only wired provider in the islands. Spectrum reports service at 92.0% of Hawaii's locations (fiber and cable), and T-Mobile offers licensed fixed wireless at 66.1%. Two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps are reported at 247,981 of the state's 320,647 locations. altafiber is the only wired provider at 100/20 at 4.4% of Hawaii's locations, and satellite is the only option at 4,413¹.

In Honolulu, altafiber reports service at 94.3% of locations and fiber at 88.8%¹. More about the state: Hawaii.

Cincinnati and the tri-state area

The mainland network is concentrated around Cincinnati, where altafiber reports service at 94.0% of locations and fiber at 89.9%. The city's overall fiber share, counting every provider, rose from 79.5%³ in June 2022 to 90.1%. With Spectrum reporting 96.1%, 87.7%¹ of Cincinnati locations have two or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps.

Statewide, the picture is regional. altafiber reaches 15.5% of Ohio's locations, behind Spectrum, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, each of which reports service at between 64.1% and 76.6% of the state. In Dayton it lists 29.8% of locations, all at 100/20 or more. In Kentucky its 7.9% of locations is almost all fiber (7.8%), and in Indiana it reports 0.4%¹. Ohio-wide context: Ohio.

Smaller than in 2022, with more fiber

Between June 2022 and June 2026, altafiber's reported footprint changed by −205,693 locations while its fiber footprint changed by +418,583³. In other words, the filing lost a large number of locations that were not fiber and gained fiber at others. The state table shows where: Ohio is the only state where the count fell, while Hawaii, Kentucky and Indiana rose and West Virginia and Pennsylvania appear for the first time.

The most recent half-year continued the direction of travel: since December 31, 2025, the footprint changed by +27,271 locations and fiber by +29,265⁴. Part of any change between releases comes from the FCC's own location list, which is revised each time, and part from what the company files; the data do not say which accounts for which.

Where altafiber is the only wired line at 100/20

At 50,275 locations, altafiber is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps or more. Among its three largest states, that situation is most common, by share of the state's locations, in Hawaii (4.4%), then Kentucky (1.0%) and Ohio (0.4%). In its two largest cities the share is 2.2% in Cincinnati and 3.1% in Honolulu, where Spectrum reports service at 96.1% and 95.4%¹ of locations respectively.

What these numbers can support

These are availability figures from altafiber's own FCC filings, as of June 30, 2026. "Available" means the company reports it could install service within ten business days; it does not mean a home subscribes, and anyone who finds an error can challenge it on the FCC map. Speeds are maximum advertised speeds, not measurements. The FCC data contain no prices; altafiber's plans and fees are on its broadband facts labels.
