Verizon reports home internet at 71.9 million US homes and businesses, 62.1% of all locations, as of June 30, 2026. Two networks sit behind that figure: Fios fiber, filed at 9.5 million locations in a band of states from Virginia to Massachusetts, and fixed wireless over its mobile network, filed at 62.5 million1 locations in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.

Fios or fixed wireless: what "Verizon available" means

Verizon reports home internet service at 71,867,413 of the 115,784,915 broadband serviceable locations in the FCC National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). It files in 491 states including DC. That makes it one of the widest home internet footprints in the country, but almost all of the breadth comes from one technology.

Verizon's filing contains two: fiber to the premises, which Verizon sells as Fios, and licensed fixed wireless, the 5G and 4G LTE home internet that Verizon's annual report for 2025 describes as "an alternative to traditional landline internet access". It lists no cable or DSL.

Licensed fixed wireless (incl. 5G home)62,494,80627,089,5831,000

The two footprints are very different in size and in speed:

  • Fios fiber: 9,507,593 locations, with advertised downloads up to 2.3 Gbps. Nearly all of them (9,504,971) are filed at 100/20 Mbps or more.
  • Fixed wireless: 62,494,806 locations, with advertised downloads up to 1 Gbps. Only 27,089,5831 of them are filed at 100/20 Mbps or more.

A location can appear in both counts. A Verizon listing means the company says it could install service there within ten business days; it does not say which plan, at what speed, or at what price. The FCC map shows the technology for each provider at an address, and a listing that looks wrong can be challenged there.

The Fios states

Fiber is where Verizon's footprint is narrow. Only AT&T reports fiber at more locations (23.5 million), and Frontier follows at 6.9 million1, but Verizon's fiber lies in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The share of each state's locations where Verizon reports fiber:

  • District of Columbia: 86.9%
  • Rhode Island: 80.4%
  • New Jersey: 59.3%
  • Maryland: 58.7%
  • Delaware: 55.0%
  • Massachusetts: 48.2%
  • New York: 46.2%
  • Virginia: 41.1%
  • Pennsylvania: 39.6%
  • Connecticut: 1.0%1

Elsewhere the filing lists essentially no fiber (one location in New Hampshire). In the two largest Fios states by count, New York (3,303,445 Verizon locations in total) and Pennsylvania (3,443,8801), Verizon still reports fixed wireless at many locations its fiber does not reach.

Fios city by city

Inside the Fios states the network is not continuous, and a few large cities are almost entirely outside it. Verizon reports fiber at 95.7% of locations in Philadelphia, 94.6% in Pittsburgh, 86.2% in New York City and 86.6%1 in Boston. The exceptions sit close by:

In those cities Verizon still appears in the FCC data, but mostly as fixed wireless: it reports some service at 80.7% of Baltimore's locations, and 100/20 Mbps at 57.4%1.

5G Home Internet across the rest of the country

Outside the Fios states, Verizon's locations in the FCC data are fixed wireless. Only T-Mobile reports licensed fixed wireless at more locations (81.5 million), and this network is the source of Verizon's reach in its three largest states: Texas (62.6% of locations), California (55.4%) and Florida (65.3%1).

Being listed and being listed at 100/20 Mbps are different things, and for fixed wireless the gap is wide. In Texas, Verizon reports 100/20 Mbps at 32.9%1 of locations, about half its overall Texas share. The gap shows at city level as well:

  • Elgin, Illinois: Verizon is reported at 94.6% of locations, but at 100/20 Mbps at 23.5%, with advertised downloads up to 400 Mbps.
  • Houston: 78.4% of locations, 40.0% at 100/20 Mbps.
  • Dearborn, Michigan: 95.0%, 61.1%1 at 100/20 Mbps.

The fastest advertised fixed wireless download is 1 Gbps in most states, but lower in some: 300 Mbps1 in Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas. In Alaska and Hawaii, Verizon files service for business customers only, so it does not appear in the residential figures for those states.

Where Verizon reports least

Leaving aside Alaska and Hawaii, where it files no residential service, Verizon's share is lowest in six states: 9.6% of locations in Connecticut, 20.8% in West Virginia, 26.4% in Maine, 31.9% in New Hampshire, 33.0% in Mississippi and 34.2% in Vermont. Its highest shares are in DC (96.6%), Rhode Island (89.5%), Delaware (84.1%) and New Jersey (83.3%1), where fiber and fixed wireless together cover most locations.

The map shades each state by any Verizon technology, so most of the country looks alike. The table separates fiber from the total and shows the change since the first National Broadband Map of June 30, 2022.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2022. Broadband serviceable locations where Verizon reports service as of June 30, 2026, compared with June 30, 2022. The FCC location list changes between releases, so part of a change can come from added or corrected locations.

Growth since 2022 came from fixed wireless

Between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, Verizon's reported footprint grew by 42,293,363 locations. Fiber accounts for +1,175,9033 of that change; the rest is fixed wireless. In the latest six months, since December 31, 2025, the footprint changed by +5,073,035 locations, fiber by +143,3434.

The table above shows the pattern state by state: in most states without Fios, Verizon's reported locations have multiplied since 2022, while in the Fios states the change is much smaller. Part of any change between releases comes from the FCC's location list itself, which adds and corrects locations with each release, so counts from different years are not a pure measure of network building.

Frontier is not in these figures

Verizon's annual report states that it completed the acquisition of Frontier Communications on January 20, 2026. In the June 30, 2026 data, Frontier still files separately, under its own holding company and brand, so this page counts only the Verizon filing. Frontier reports service at 8,661,416 locations in 26 states, fiber at 6,941,8291 of them. If later FCC releases list Frontier's network under Verizon, the totals here will change with them.

Where Verizon is the only wired choice

Fixed wireless does not count as a wired connection, so only Verizon's fiber can make it the sole wired provider somewhere. At 230,458 locations, Verizon is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. Relative to their size, those locations are most common in Rhode Island (4.2% of the state's locations, 4.3% in Providence), Delaware (2.4%) and Virginia (1.7%). In the large Fios cities Verizon almost always has at least one wired competitor at 100/20 Mbps: its sole-provider share is 0.1% in Philadelphia and 2.1%1 in New York City.

Large cities with the highest Verizon coverage

Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Verizon reports the highest shares in the cities below. The technologies column separates Fios cities from fixed-wireless-only ones; the last column shows the share of locations filed at 100/20 Mbps.

Verizon availability questions

Is Verizon Fios available in my area?

Only if you are in the part of the country where Verizon reports fiber: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, DC and a small part of Connecticut. Verizon reports fiber at 9,507,5931 locations as of June 30, 2026. Search your address on the FCC National Broadband Map to see which Verizon technology is listed there, then confirm with Verizon.

Where is Verizon 5G Home Internet available?

Verizon files its home internet over the mobile network as licensed fixed wireless, at 62,494,806 locations in DC and every state except Alaska and Hawaii, where its filings are for business customers only. Coverage is not the same as speed: at 27,089,5831 of those locations Verizon reports 100/20 Mbps or more.

Is Frontier part of Verizon now?

Verizon completed its acquisition of Frontier on January 20, 2026. In the FCC data as of June 30, 2026, Frontier still files under its own name, with fiber at 6,941,8291 locations, and is not counted in the Verizon figures on this page.

How much does Verizon home internet cost?

The FCC availability data contain no prices. Verizon has to publish a broadband facts label for each home internet plan, with the monthly price, fees and typical speeds it reports.

Is Verizon available at your address?

Area figures cannot answer that. Search the address on the FCC's National Broadband Map, which lists every provider that reports service there, and confirm with Verizon before you sign up. If the map shows Verizon but it cannot connect you within ten business days, you can challenge the listing on the map.
