Where Nextlink Internet reports home internet service

Texas holds most of the footprint; Nebraska has the highest share

As of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), Nextlink reports service at 3,396,987¹ broadband serviceable locations, the FCC's term for each house, apartment building or small business that could be connected. It files under one provider ID, with AMG Technology Investment Group LLC as the holding company and Nextlink as the brand name.

Texas accounts for 1,887,710 of those locations, 18.2% of the state. The next five states are much smaller in count but similar or larger in share: Oklahoma (18.1% of its locations), Illinois (6.9%), Nebraska (34.9%), Kansas (22.4%) and Iowa (19.5%). Nebraska is the state where Nextlink reaches the largest share of homes and businesses. In Indiana and Louisiana it reports 44,974 and 44,902¹ locations, and in Wisconsin, South Dakota and Minnesota only a few thousand each.

"Reports service" has a specific meaning here: Nextlink states in its filing that it could connect the location with a standard installation within ten business days. It is the company's own statement, and residents, governments and other providers can dispute it through the map's challenge process.

A fixed wireless network with a fiber layer

The FCC divides fixed wireless by spectrum. Licensed fixed wireless uses spectrum licensed to the provider; the category also includes 5G home internet from the mobile carriers. Unlicensed fixed wireless runs in shared bands that need no individual license. Nextlink reports licensed fixed wireless at 2,470,940 locations, unlicensed at 861,662 and fiber at 126,663¹. A location can appear in more than one of these counts.

Among the 375 brands that report licensed fixed wireless, Nextlink ranks fourth by locations, after T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T, whose home internet runs on their mobile networks. The gap is wide: 2.5 million locations for Nextlink against 37.4 million for AT&T. It is also the fourth largest of 828¹ unlicensed fixed wireless brands.

Almost all of Nextlink's licensed fixed wireless is reported at 100/20 Mbps, the FCC's broadband benchmark: 2,470,520 of 2,470,940 locations. On unlicensed fixed wireless the figure is 772,732 of 861,662, and on fiber all 126,663. At state level the share where Nextlink reports 100/20 stays close to its coverage share: 17.6% against 18.2% in Texas, 32.5% against 34.9%¹ in Nebraska.

Mid-size Texas cities at the top

The table ranks the cities of 100,000 or more (there are 343) by the share of their locations in Nextlink's filing, with the share at 100/20 beside it.

The top of the list is mid-size Texas. Nextlink reports service at 97.0% of San Angelo's locations, 89.0% of Abilene's, 88.8% of Waco's and 86.6% of Killeen's. Outside Texas, Lincoln stands out at 65.2%¹. These are not places without other options: other companies report fiber at most locations in each of them, as the table below shows.

The Dallas–Fort Worth area splits sharply. Nextlink reports 201,313 locations in Fort Worth, 69.6% of the city and more than in any other large city, but only 2.2% of Dallas. Between them, Arlington is at 46.9% and Grand Prairie at 38.8%. In Austin the figure is 0.2%¹.

Coverage and speed do not always move together. In Omaha Nextlink reports service at 29.6% of locations but 100/20 at 23.7%, and in Arlington the figures are 46.9% and 37.2%. The fastest advertised download also varies by city: 100 Mbps in Midland, 200 Mbps in Frisco, 1 Gbps in Abilene. Fort Worth's fastest tier, 8 Gbps, is fiber, which Nextlink reports at only 0.1%¹ of the city's locations.

Fiber: almost all of it new since 2022

Nextlink's fiber footprint grew by 121,111³ locations between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, to 126,663¹; +23,122⁴ of that came in the last six months, since December 31, 2025.

Kansas has more Nextlink fiber than any other state, 5.7% of all Kansas locations, ahead of Texas, where it is 0.5% of a much larger state. Nebraska (0.5%) and Iowa (0.1%) have smaller amounts; in the other states Nextlink reports no fiber. The fastest advertised tiers follow the fiber: 8 Gbps in Texas and 8 Gbps in Nebraska, 5 Gbps in Kansas, 2 Gbps in Iowa, and 1 Gbps in Oklahoma and 1 Gbps¹ in Illinois, where Nextlink reports only fixed wireless.

More locations than in 2022, except in Nebraska

Nextlink's reported footprint changed by +550,943³ locations between June 2022 and June 2026, and nearly half of that change, +266,277⁴, came after December 31, 2025. The state table shows where. Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Kansas and Iowa report more Nextlink locations than in 2022; Indiana grew from a few thousand; Louisiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota appear for the first time. Nebraska and South Dakota report fewer, although Nebraska remains the state with Nextlink's highest share.

These counts compare filings, not construction records. The FCC rebuilds its list of locations for every release, so a provider's count can move even where its network did not, and a provider can also redraw the coverage it claims from one filing to the next.

Where Nextlink is the only wired option

At 12,359 locations, Nextlink is the only wired provider reporting 100/20 Mbps. Fiber is the only wired technology Nextlink reports, so these are all fiber locations. They are a small share even in the two states with the most of them: 0.2% of Nebraska's locations and 0.1%¹ of Texas's. Fixed wireless does not count as a wired option in this measure, so the much larger area where Nextlink offers only fixed wireless is not included.

Before relying on these figures

All figures above are Nextlink's self-reported availability for June 30, 2026. For one address, the FCC National Broadband Map lists whether Nextlink claims it, by which technology and at what advertised speed; a wrong listing can be challenged there. Prices are not part of the FCC filing: Nextlink must show them on the broadband facts label for each plan. How licensed and unlicensed fixed wireless differ from wired service is covered on the fixed wireless page.
