Where Rise Broadband reports home internet

Utah, Colorado and Idaho carry the footprint

As of June 30, 2026 (FCC file revision of November 10, 2026), Rise Broadband reports service at 3,770,811¹ broadband serviceable locations, the FCC's term for each house, apartment building and small business that could be connected. Its filings are made under the holding company JAB Wireless, Inc., with Rise Broadband as the only brand name.

Texas has the most Rise locations, 1,190,373, but they are only 11.5% of a very large state. The shares are far higher in the Mountain West. Rise reports service at 53.9% of Utah's locations, 40.4% of Colorado's and 34.6% of Idaho's, then 21.3% in Nevada and 18.6% in Nebraska. Illinois (6.5%) and Iowa (12.6%¹) are large by count but low by share, and in Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota and Oregon it reaches less than one location in a hundred.

A listing means Rise told the FCC it could install standard service at the location within ten business days. It is the company's own claim, and anyone can challenge it on the map.

The largest unlicensed fixed wireless network

The FCC sorts fixed wireless by spectrum: licensed, the category that also covers 5G home internet from the mobile carriers, and unlicensed, radio service in bands that need no individual license. Rise is by far the largest unlicensed provider. It reports that technology at 3,106,088 locations, 2.7% of the country, against 1.3 million for unWired Broadband, the next largest of the 828¹ brands that report it.

Rise also reports licensed fixed wireless at 602,887 locations, and fiber at 80,831¹. A location can appear in more than one of these counts.

Technology	Locations	At 100/20 Mbps or more	Fastest advertised download (Mbps)
Fiber	80,831	80,831	5,000
Licensed fixed wireless (incl. 5G home)	602,887	312,188	1,283
Unlicensed fixed wireless	3,106,088	1,231,824	1,000

The states where Rise reaches the largest shares are also the states where unlicensed fixed wireless, from any provider, is most widely reported. Nevada ranks the highest (96.3% of locations), Idaho 2nd highest (68.4%), Utah 4th highest (66.1%) and Colorado 8th highest (56.2%). In Nevada most of that coverage comes from other companies: Rise's own share there is 21.3%¹.

Coverage and 100/20 are two different maps

The FCC's broadband benchmark is 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. Rise reports that tier at 1,231,824 of its unlicensed fixed wireless locations and 312,188 of its licensed ones, so at most of the locations where it reports service, its fastest advertised plan is slower than that. Every one of its 80,831¹ fiber locations is reported at 100/20 or more.

The gap shows at state level. Rise reports service at 40.4% of Colorado's locations but 100/20 at 15.3%; in Utah the figures are 53.9% and 14.1%, in Iowa 12.6% and 2.1%. The 100/20 share is higher in Idaho (18.0%) and lower in Texas (6.4%¹).

Cities: high coverage, very different speeds

Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Rise's share of locations is highest in the cities below. The last column is the share where it reports 100/20.

High coverage does not mean the same thing from city to city. In San Angelo, Rise reports service at 84.0% of locations and 100/20 at 71.5%; in Greeley the figures are 85.4% and 57.4%, and in Springfield, Illinois 45.2% and 42.7%. Colorado Springs, by contrast, is 64.8% covered but only 1.3% at 100/20, and Provo 62.5% against 0.4%. In Boise Rise reports service at 25.4% of locations with a fastest advertised download of 200 Mbps, yet 100/20 at 0.0%¹: the fastest tier in a city can be offered at very few of its locations, and 100/20 also requires a 20 Mbps upload.

West Jordan has the highest coverage of any large city, 91.7%. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area the pattern differs again: the fastest download Rise advertises in Fort Worth, Arlington and McKinney is 1.283 Gbps, the same as its fastest licensed fixed wireless tier, though it covers only 15.7%¹ of Fort Worth's locations.

Fewer locations than in 2022, more fiber

Rise's reported footprint changed by −574,950³ locations between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, and by −377,127⁴ in the last six months alone, since December 31, 2025. The state table below shows where: Illinois, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma and South Dakota report far fewer Rise locations than in 2022, Texas and Utah fewer, while Colorado and Nevada report more.

Unlicensed fixed wireless as a whole has narrowed over the same period. The share of US locations where any provider reports it fell from 25.1% in June 2022 to 19.7% in June 2026, and in Rise's large states it fell in Texas (43.8% to 30.0%), Utah (82.3% to 66.1%) and Idaho (78.0% to 68.4%), while it rose in Colorado (51.2%³ to 56.2%¹).

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

The data record the change but not its reasons. Part of any change between releases comes from the FCC's own location list, which is revised each time, and part from how each provider draws its coverage in its filing.

Fiber moved the other way. Rise added +78,729³ fiber locations since June 2022, reaching 80,831, although that count changed by −8,765⁴ since December 31, 2025. Most of it is in Texas, where Rise reports fiber at 0.7% of the state's locations; its fastest advertised download there, 5 Gbps¹, is a fiber tier. Missouri holds most of the rest.

Where Rise is the only wired option

At 12,581 locations, Rise is the only wired provider reporting 100/20 Mbps. Since fiber is the only wired technology Rise reports, these are fiber locations, a small share even in Texas (0.1% of the state). Across all providers, at 4.2 million US locations (3.6%¹) 100/20 Mbps is reported only by fixed wireless, the kind of service Rise mainly provides; the FCC map shows which providers report it at each one.
