Murfreesboro in Tennessee
Murfreesboro's fiber is mostly AT&T's. AT&T reports fiber at 85.4% of the city's homes and businesses, a larger share than in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga or Clarksville, and Xfinity's cable reaches 99.1%.

Five wired companies, two of them almost everywhere
Murfreesboro has fewer wired internet companies than most large US cities. Only 4 wired providers report service inside the city limits, a number tied for 42nd lowest among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more; Nashville has 11. But the two largest reach nearly every address: Xfinity at 99.1% of the city's 44,507 homes and businesses and AT&T at 96.5%1.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of the area's broadband serviceable locations where the provider reports service as of June 30, 2026. "Only wired option" is the share of locations where it is the single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. Provider-reported and challengeable; speeds are advertised maximums, not measured; no prices. Satellite providers (HughesNet, Viasat, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
These are the FCC's figures as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026), for the locations inside Murfreesboro's limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. "Available" means a provider reports it could install service within ten business days; reports can be challenged on the FCC map. Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat report satellite service at every location, and satellite is the only option at just 51 of them.
AT&T's fiber is the city's fiber
Fiber reaches 87.1% of locations in Murfreesboro, a share tied for 106th highest among large US cities, and almost all of it is AT&T's: AT&T reports fiber at 85.4% of locations. That is a wider AT&T fiber footprint than in Clarksville (77.2%), Nashville (75.7%), Knoxville (69.3%) or Memphis (56.9%). AT&T also still reports DSL over copper telephone lines across much of the city, including many places it has fiber: DSL is reported at 48.4% of locations, down 6.7 percentage points1 since June 2022.
Across Tennessee's six largest cities, Murfreesboro's fiber share is close to Nashville's and below the near-total coverage reported in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville. Its share of locations with two fiber networks sits between Memphis and Nashville, and only Chattanooga has fewer wired providers.
| Area | Fiber available | Two or more fiber networks | Two or more wired choices | Wired providers reporting service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Murfreesboro, Tennessee | 87.1% | 19.1% | 86.9% | 4 |

The count of fiber providers in the city has gone from 32 to 4. Besides AT&T, Google Fiber and United Communications, Xfinity reports fiber at 0.6%1 of locations alongside its cable network.
One fast wire at about one address in eight
Choice narrows where AT&T has no fiber. At 12.9% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps or more, down from 23.8%2 in 2022, and that provider is nearly always Xfinity, the sole wired option at that speed for 12.1%. Two or more wired providers at 100/20 are reported at 86.9% of locations, well above the Tennessee figure of 66.4%1.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Different wired providers (fiber, cable or DSL; FCC provider IDs) reporting 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up or more at the same location. Fixed wireless and satellite are not counted.

Very few locations have no fast option at all. 72 locations have no terrestrial service of 100/20 Mbps, and 301 count as unserved under the federal BEAD program's definition, which means no wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps.
Multi-gigabit maximums at nearly every address
On the first map, the fastest advertised download at 50.3% of locations was in the gigabit tier below 2 Gbps, and at 48.7%2 it was 2 Gbps or more. By June 30, 2026 the 2 Gbps-and-up tier covered 96.4%. AT&T advertises up to 5 Gbps on fiber, Google Fiber up to 8 Gbps, United Communications up to 8 Gbps, and Xfinity up to 2 Gbps1 where it has fiber.

Uploads moved too. In 2022, symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or faster was reported at 74.2%2 of locations, the same share as fiber. It is now reported at 98.5%, more than the fiber footprint, and gigabit service with 100 Mbps uploads (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) at 98.5%1. All of these are maximum advertised speeds reported by the providers, not measurements.
Verizon and T-Mobile home internet
Fixed wireless from the mobile carriers is reported almost everywhere: licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, at 97.2% of locations. Verizon reports it at 87.3%, far more of the city than in 2022, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 34.1%; T-Mobile reports 83.3%, with 100/20 at 18.1%. Fixed wireless capacity is shared by everyone served from the same tower, so a location the FCC data show as covered is not a guaranteed connection. The share of locations offered 100/20 Mbps or more over licensed fixed wireless has risen from 29.4%2 in 2022 to 44.8%1.
| Measure | Murfreesboro | Tennessee | United States | Rank among largest cities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed fixed wireless | 97.2% | 86.2% | 87.3% | 82nd of 343 |
| Fixed wireless 100/20 | 44.8% | 40.9% | 47.9% | 239th of 343 |

Most households subscribe
The Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey estimates that only 2.8% of Murfreesboro households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.4 percentage points), a share tied for 45th lowest among large cities. 83.3% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±3.4 percentage points), up from 74.6% in 2019, and the share relying only on a cellular data plan fell from 16.8%5 to 10.0%4. Both changes are larger than their margins of error. Survey households and FCC locations are different units, so the two sets of figures do not divide into each other.
