Carrollton in Texas
Two networks wire almost all of Carrollton: Frontier's fiber, reported at 88.5% of the city's homes and businesses, and Spectrum's cable, at 95.3%. The fiber map barely moved between 2022 and the end of 2025, then gained 2.8 percentage points1 in the six months to June 30, 2026, and the share of addresses with a single fast wired option fell.
Frontier fiber, Spectrum cable and a long tail
The FCC counts 38,1751 homes and businesses inside Carrollton's 2020 city limits. As of June 30, 2026 (data revised November 10, 2026), the providers below report service to them. "Available" here means the provider tells the FCC it can install standard service within ten business days; anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC map.

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 (Starlink, Viasat, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
The table has three layers. Two wired networks reach nearly every address: Spectrum and Frontier. The mobile carriers, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, report fixed wireless home internet over large parts of the city. Below them sits a long tail of small fiber and wireless companies, each reporting service at a small share of locations. Satellite from Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat is reported at every location, as it is almost everywhere in the country.
A Frontier fiber city
Fiber, a line of glass running to the building, reaches 90.3% of Carrollton's locations, a share that ranks tied for 66th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Almost all of it is Frontier's: the company reports fiber at 88.5% of locations and advertises downloads up to 7 Gbps1.
6 companies report fiber somewhere in the city, a count that ranks tied for 64th highest among large cities, but the others are small here. Spectrum reports fiber at 1.6% of locations alongside its cable network and AT&T at only 0.2%. Centric Fiber, Hotwire Communications and Logix Communications each report fiber at 0.1% or less. As a result only 0.3%1 of locations have two or more fiber networks to choose from.

Six months that moved the fiber map
For three and a half years Carrollton's fiber coverage stood still. It was 88.5%2 in June 2022 and 87.5% in December 2025. By June 30, 2026 it had risen to 90.3%. The share of locations with only one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps fell over the same six months from 10.2% to 7.6%, and the share with two or more rose from 86.4%3 to 88.9%1.

Shares of broadband serviceable locations in each FCC release (latest revision of each); the small number is the change in percentage points since June 30, 2022. The FCC's count of locations is updated with each release, so shares are compared rather than counts.

Because the FCC's list of locations is revised with each release, these comparisons use shares rather than counts.
One fast wire at fewer than one address in ten
Spectrum's cable network is the near-universal wire: it reports 100/20 Mbps service at 95.3% of locations. At 7.1% it is the only wired provider at that speed, which is where Frontier's fiber does not reach. Exactly two wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps at 87.9% of locations and three or more at 1.0%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.

Statewide, 66.2% of Texas locations have two or more wired choices at 100/20 Mbps; in Carrollton the figure is 88.9%1.
Fixed wireless: wide footprints, slower tiers
Three mobile carriers report home internet over licensed spectrum. T-Mobile reports it at 89.7% of locations, with a top advertised download of 100 Mbps; it offers 100/20 Mbps at 33.5%. AT&T reported almost no service in Carrollton in June 2022 and now reports 22,538 locations, nearly all through fixed wireless; its 100/20 service covers 6.1%. Verizon reports 7.5%, with a top tier of 1 Gbps1.
Fixed wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so carriers accept sign-ups address by address.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of broadband serviceable locations where at least one provider reports the technology, at any speed; a location can have several. Satellite is reported almost everywhere and is left out.

Copper, by contrast, has nearly disappeared: DSL was reported at 27.6%2 of locations in 2022 and at 0.1%1 now.
Multi-gigabit is the usual top tier
At 88.6% of locations the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, is advertised at 96.2%, up from 88.3%2 in 2022, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service at 96.2%. The highest advertised tiers come from fiber: Hotwire Communications lists up to 8 Gbps at a few buildings and Frontier up to 7 Gbps1. All of these are maximums the providers advertise, not measured speeds.

A city with almost no gaps
Carrollton is among the large cities with the fewest unconnected addresses. The FCC data show 902 locations without any terrestrial service of 100/20 Mbps, 13 that count as unserved (no wired or licensed fixed wireless service of at least 25/3 Mbps) and 1 where satellite is the only option. 1,329 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; 4271 of them rely on fixed wireless for that speed.

Checking one address in Carrollton
The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
