Where Astound Broadband reports internet service

Is Astound available in your state?

Astound Broadband's filing for June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026) lists 2,608,609 broadband serviceable locations: houses, apartment buildings and small businesses that Astound says it could connect within ten business days. They sit in 12¹ states counting the District of Columbia, but ten of those hold almost all of them.

Counted by locations, the largest are Illinois (560,330), Texas (514,731) and California (354,912). Counted by share, the order is different. Astound reports service at 72.5% of the District of Columbia's locations, 13.6% of Illinois's and 12.5% of Massachusetts's, but only 5.0% of Texas's and 3.5% of California's. Its Texas and California networks are spread over several metro areas inside very large states. Washington (9.1%), Maryland (7.7%), Pennsylvania (6.4%), Oregon (5.5%) and New York (1.4%) complete the list of states with more than a few thousand locations. Almost all of the New York count is inside New York City, where Astound reaches 7.9%¹ of locations.

Five regional networks, one filing

Astound is a newer name for older networks. In January 2022 five regional operators, RCN, Grande, Wave, enTouch and Digital West, consolidated under the Astound Broadband brand, as their joint announcement put it. The FCC data reflect that: the June 2026 filing groups all of this service under one brand name, Astound Broadband, filed by Radiate Holdings, LP.

The merged origin shows on the map: Astound's footprint is not one territory but separate metro networks in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, the Chicago area, Texas and the West Coast. Anyone searching under one of the older names is looking at the same filing.

Cable at every location, fiber in pockets

Astound reports cable at 2,211,847 locations, and every one of them is filed at 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload or more (2,211,847). The fastest advertised cable download is 1.5 Gbps. In Washington state the fastest advertised download on any Astound technology is 2 Gbps¹.

Technology	Locations	At 100/20 Mbps or more	Fastest advertised download (Mbps)

DSL (copper)	10,238	0	1,000
Unlicensed fixed wireless	81,769	81,769	1,000

Fiber to the premises is reported at 367,143 locations, all at 100/20 or more, with the highest advertised download in the whole filing: 5 Gbps. Texas and Illinois hold the largest parts of it, as the state table shows. Among large cities, Astound reports fiber at 11.2% of locations in Chicago, 9.8% in Sugar Land, 8.0% in Austin and 4.6% in Seattle. In Santa Maria, California, Astound's fiber share and its total coverage are the same figure, 8.7%¹ of the city's locations.

Two smaller entries complete the filing. Unlicensed fixed wireless appears at 81,769 locations in California, Oregon and Washington, all filed at 100/20 or more. DSL appears at 10,238¹ locations in Texas, California, Oregon and Washington; none of them is filed at 100/20, which requires both the download and the upload threshold. A location served by more than one technology is counted under each.

A second wire, rarely the only one

At 245,626¹ locations Astound is the only wired provider reporting 100/20 Mbps. Set against its full footprint that is a small share, and the city figures show why: Astound mostly runs where a larger cable network already reaches nearly every address.

In the District of Columbia, Xfinity reports service at 99.3% of locations and Verizon at 96.6%, against Astound's 72.5%; Astound is the only wired 100/20 option at 0.1%. In Chicago, Astound reaches 49.6% of locations and Xfinity 99.2%. In Naperville, 91.4% against 99.7%. In Concord, California, it is 97.6% for Astound and 98.7% for Xfinity; in Waco, 93.0% for Astound and 94.5%¹ for Spectrum.

Allentown, Pennsylvania, is the one large city where Astound is the provider reporting the most locations (98.8%). Even there, Service Electric Cable TV reports 97.1% and Verizon 95.6%, and only 2.3% of the city's locations have a single wired choice at 100/20. Those are the locations where Astound stands alone (1.9%¹).

The table counts every provider, not only Astound. In most of these cities two or more wired networks report 100/20 at nearly every location. Chicago, Denton and Seattle have the largest shares with a single wired choice, but in Chicago and Seattle that single choice is usually another company: in Seattle, Xfinity is the only wired 100/20 provider at 16.0%¹ of locations.

Washington state and Denton are the exceptions

Washington state is different. There Astound is the only wired 100/20 provider at 4.8% of all the state's locations while reaching 9.1%: at more than half of the Washington locations it serves, no other wire at that speed is filed. That makes Washington the source of more than half of Astound's sole-provider locations nationwide. Seattle itself is not where they are: Astound is the only wired option at 0.8%¹ of the city's locations.

In Texas, Denton shows the same pattern at city scale. Astound reports service at 7.4% of Denton's locations and is the only wired 100/20 provider at 7.1%¹, nearly all of them.

What changed since 2022

Between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, Astound's reported footprint changed by +159,050 locations. Its fiber count changed by +124,046³, so most of the net growth is fiber. In the latest six months, since December 31, 2025, the footprint changed by +12,253 locations and fiber by +31,086⁴. Fiber grew faster than the total, which happens when locations already listed under cable are refiled as fiber or when other listings drop out; the filing does not say which.

One state moves the other way. The state table shows a sizeable Indiana footprint in June 2022; by June 2026 Astound lists 127¹ locations there. The FCC data record the change but not its reason.

Part of any change comes from the FCC's location list itself, which gained +3,495,329¹ locations nationally between the first and the latest release through new construction and corrected records. A provider's count can rise without new lines in the ground.

Large cities with the widest Astound coverage

Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Astound's coverage is highest in Allentown (98.8%), Concord (97.6%), Waco (93.0%) and Naperville (91.4%). The list runs through Elgin, San Mateo, Odessa and Corpus Christi, each above three quarters, then the District of Columbia and Boston (55.3%). In some of the largest cities of its states the reach is partial or minimal: 9.5% in San Antonio, 0.7% in Houston, 0.0%¹ in Philadelphia.

All of these figures are Astound's own availability filings with the FCC, as of June 30, 2026. They count locations that could be served, not subscribers, and they carry no prices; Astound's plans and prices are on its broadband facts labels.
