Where Consolidated Communications and Fidium Fiber report service

Where Consolidated reports service

In the FCC National Broadband Map as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), Consolidated Communications lists 1,660,396 broadband serviceable locations: houses, apartment buildings and small businesses where it says it provides service or could install it within ten business days. That is 1.4%¹ of all US locations. The filing combines two FCC provider IDs and three brand names: Consolidated, Consolidated Communications and Fidium Fiber, the name it uses for fiber service. A "Fidium availability" check and a "Consolidated availability" check are the same question in this data.

Nearly half the footprint sits in two states. Consolidated reports 422,076 locations in Maine and 398,826 in New Hampshire, and 188,703 more in Vermont. Texas (208,741) and California (198,200) are third and fourth by count, but there the counts are small against the size of the state: 2.0% of Texas locations and 1.9% of California's. The remaining states, from Illinois (59,568) and Pennsylvania (55,379) down to 13¹ locations in South Dakota, each hold a small fraction of the total.

One possible confusion: a separate filer named Consolidated Communications Networks, Inc. reports service at 6.7%¹ of North Dakota's locations. It files under its own provider ID and is not counted on this page.

Northern New England: a statewide network in three states

Nowhere else does Consolidated reach more than a few percent of a state. In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont it is listed at two-thirds of locations or more, and in New Hampshire it is the provider reported at the most locations of any. The three states differ in how much of that footprint is fiber.

Shares of all locations in the state, as of June 30, 2026.

In New Hampshire the gap between Consolidated's total and its fiber share is the copper that remains: about a quarter of its listings there are DSL. In Maine the gap is wider, and in Vermont fiber covers about half of Consolidated's footprint (33.1% of the state against 66.7%¹). In all three states, Consolidated's share at 100/20 Mbps is within a point of its fiber share, so a Consolidated listing that reaches 100/20 is almost always a Fidium fiber line.

The other large providers in these states are different in each. In Maine, Spectrum is listed at 72.3% of locations and T-Mobile's fixed wireless at 63.6%. In New Hampshire, T-Mobile follows Consolidated at 70.9% and Xfinity at 66.8%. In Vermont, VTel's licensed fixed wireless is listed at 87.5%, ahead of Consolidated, with Xfinity at 61.0%¹.

How the three states changed since 2022

Across all providers, the share of locations with fiber rose sharply in all three states between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, and the share with DSL fell.

Maine moved furthest: fiber was reported at 14.4% of its locations in June 2022 and at 62.8% in June 2026, while DSL fell from 56.7% to 24.5%. The share of Maine locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 went from 11.4% to 52.9%. In Vermont, fiber went from 27.0% to 65.9%; in New Hampshire, which started higher, from 37.2%² to 76.8%¹.

The FCC's count of locations is updated with each release, so shares are compared rather than counts.

These are statewide figures for every provider, not for Consolidated alone; the FCC data do not split the change by company, and other networks filed new fiber in these states in the same years. Consolidated's own filing shows its fiber count growing much faster than its footprint, as the section on change since 2022 sets out.

Fiber, DSL and a small amount of cable

The filing lists four technologies; a location can appear under more than one.

Technology	Locations	At 100/20 Mbps or more	Fastest advertised download (Mbps)
Fiber	1,113,335	1,113,335	8,000
Cable	2,442	0	50
DSL (copper)	547,400	11,622	500
Other	1	0	10

• Fiber to the premises (Fidium) at 1,113,335 locations, with advertised downloads up to 8 Gbps. All of them (1,113,335) are filed at 100/20 Mbps or more.
• DSL over telephone copper at 547,400 locations, with advertised downloads up to 500 Mbps. Only 11,622 reach 100/20. That makes Consolidated the sixth-largest DSL filer in the country, after AT&T, CenturyLink, Brightspeed, Frontier and Kinetic.
• Cable at 2,442 locations in California, Pennsylvania and New York, none of them at 100/20; the fastest advertised cable download is 50 Mbps¹.
• One location filed as "other" technology.

The fastest advertised fiber tier, 8 Gbps, appears in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. In the California and Texas cities below, the top tier filed is 2 Gbps¹.

Fiber up, Kansas City gone: change since 2022

Between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, Consolidated's fiber footprint grew by 610,806 locations, while its footprint as a whole grew by 182,193². The gap means much of the new fiber was filed at locations Consolidated already listed in 2022 with another technology; the filings alone do not say exactly how many. In the latest six months, since December 31, 2025, fiber grew by 73,625 locations and the total by +25,778⁴.

The largest loss is in Kansas, where the filing now lists 3,091¹ locations, against more than a hundred thousand in June 2022, with a smaller drop in Missouri. Consolidated's Form 8-K of December 1, 2022 reports that it completed the sale of its Kansas City assets to Everfast Fiber Networks LLC, effective November 30, 2022, five months after the first National Broadband Map. Locations sold that way drop out of Consolidated's filing.

The state table gives every state with its technologies, fiber locations and the June 2022 count. Most states show more locations than in 2022, with the largest increases in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Texas; Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin are among those with fewer.

Differences between FCC releases are differences between two filings. The FCC revises its location list every release, and a provider can add or drop locations for reasons other than building or retiring lines.

Outside New England: Houston's north suburbs and Sacramento

Consolidated's large-city presence is not in New England alone. Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, it reaches more than half of locations in four, and three of them are in Texas and California:

• Manchester, New Hampshire: service at 92.0% of locations and fiber at 86.0%, with an advertised maximum of 8 Gbps. Xfinity is listed at 100.0%. Consolidated is effectively the city's only fiber network: the share of locations with two fiber networks rounds to 0.0%.
• Conroe, Texas: service at 82.8% and fiber at 67.8%. Conroe is a two-fiber city: Ezee Fiber reports fiber at 87.7% of locations, more than Consolidated, and 69.4% of locations have two or more fiber networks. Optimum's cable is listed at 86.5%.
• Roseville, California: service at 75.9%, but fiber at 47.4%; most of its other Roseville listings are filed below 100/20. Xfinity covers 99.0% of the city.
• Elk Grove, California: service at 57.4%, nearly all fiber (57.2%¹).

Next door in Sacramento, Consolidated reports 40,374 locations, 26.4% of the city, almost all of them fiber. In the other large cities where it appears, such as Minneapolis (83 locations) or Pittsburgh (42¹), it is listed at a few hundred addresses or fewer.

Where Consolidated is the only wired line at 100/20

At 67,513 locations, Consolidated is the only wired provider reporting 100/20 Mbps. As a share of the state, that is 5.2% of Vermont's locations and 3.1% of New Hampshire's and Maine's. In the large cities above the share is no more than 0.1%¹; in each of them another wired network is listed at most locations.

Where Consolidated has only copper, the reverse applies: its DSL rarely reaches 100/20, so a home there depends on cable, another fiber network or fixed wireless for that speed, if any is listed.

What these figures cover

Every number here is Consolidated's own FCC filing as of June 30, 2026. "Available" means Consolidated reports that it serves the location or could install service there within ten business days, and a listing that looks wrong can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map. Speeds are maximum advertised speeds, not measured ones. The data contain no prices or plans; Consolidated shows those on the broadband facts label for each Fidium and Consolidated plan.
