The FCC counts 300,284¹ homes and businesses inside Dallas city limits, as drawn for the 2020 Census. The table lists the companies that report service to them as of June 30, 2026, in the file revision of November 10, 2026. "Reports service" means the provider says it serves the location or could install service within ten business days; those claims can be challenged on the FCC map.

Most companies on the list serve small parts of the city; two wired networks reach almost every location. Spectrum reports service at 95.5%, nearly all of it cable, and offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 95.5%. AT&T reports service at 91.7%: fiber at 81.8%¹, and DSL or fixed wireless at most of the rest. Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat report the whole city, as satellite companies do everywhere, and none of them offers 100/20 Mbps.

AT&T or Spectrum: choice at 100/20 Mbps

Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 97.1% of Dallas locations. At 81.9% exactly two wired providers offer it, which in practice means AT&T fiber and Spectrum cable; three or more reach only 1.1%. Spectrum is the only wired provider at that speed for 12.5%¹ of locations, where AT&T reports no wired service that fast.

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.

Texas	9.6%	24.2%	48.8%	17.4%
United States	7.8%	36.6%	44.6%	11.1%

That one-wire share was 21.4% in June 2022. It fell as fiber coverage rose from 71.3% to 84.4% of the city, while DSL fell from 28.3%² to 21.4%. Across Texas, 66.2% of locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps; in Dallas, 83.0%¹.

Many fiber companies, rarely two at one address

The number of companies reporting fiber in Dallas rose from 7² in June 2022 to 12, also the highest among large cities. Fiber from any of them reaches 84.4% of locations, and AT&T alone reports fiber at 81.8%. Spectrum reports fiber at 2.0%, Frontier at 1.1%, and each remaining fiber company at under one percent, usually a few thousand locations or fewer. Only 1.7% of Dallas locations can choose between two fiber networks, against 31.4% in Austin and 24.8%¹ in San Antonio.

Upload speeds changed more than coverage

In June 2022, symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps was advertised at 71.2% of Dallas locations, close to the fiber share at the time. By June 2026 it was 96.9%, against 78.3% for Texas and 73.7% for the US. Fiber reaches 84.4%, so the remainder is reported over cable, almost all of it Spectrum's network, which now advertises uploads of 100 Mbps or more where fiber does not reach. Gigabit service with fast uploads, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, moved the same way: from 71.2%² to 96.9%¹.

Wired 100/100 Mbps	71.2%	96.7%	96.9%	25.7 pts

2 Gbps or more	36.1%	73.7%	75.3%	39.3 pts
Fiber available	71.3%	83.4%	84.4%	13.1 pts

Downloads of 2 Gbps or more are the top advertised tier at 75.3% of locations, up from 36.1%²; those are fiber addresses, since AT&T advertises up to 5 Gbps and Spectrum up to 1 Gbps¹. All speeds here are maximums that providers advertise to the FCC, not measurements.

Fixed wireless: two carriers and a radio network named for fiber

T-Mobile reports fixed wireless home internet at 67.6% of locations, with a top advertised download of 100 Mbps and 100/20 Mbps at 22.8%. Verizon reports 66.4%, advertises up to 1 Gbps and offers 100/20 Mbps at 30.0%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more now reaches 45.8%¹ of locations, up from 30.9%² in June 2022.

Nextlink Internet reports fixed wireless at 2.2%¹ of locations. A wireless network's capacity is shared by everyone on a tower sector, so carriers limit sign-ups by address. The FCC figures show where service is reported, not where every home could join at once.

Locations without fast service

The gaps in Dallas are counted in hundreds of locations. 5,335 have no land-based provider at 100/20 Mbps, and 146 lack reliable service even at 25/3 Mbps (by wire or licensed fixed wireless), the federal BEAD definition of unserved. At 3,456 locations 100/20 Mbps comes only by fixed wireless, and 57¹ have satellite as their only option.

The subscription gap has narrowed since 2019

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey asks households what internet service they pay for. In 2019, 18.3% of Dallas households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±1.1 percentage points). In the 2025 survey the share was 6.2% (margin ±1.0 percentage points), and the two ranges do not overlap. Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 66.8%⁴ to 76.0% of households, while 14.1%⁵ relied only on a cellular data plan in 2025. The table sets the same survey figures for the five largest Texas cities side by side, with their margins of error.

The survey counts households over a year and the FCC counts locations on one date, so the two sources do not line up exactly. Read together, they suggest that most of the remaining gap in Dallas is in subscriptions rather than in networks: wired 100/20 Mbps service is reported at 97.1%¹ of locations.

The Texas page covers every county and every city of 25,000 or more. Fort Worth, Houston and Austin have their own pages, as do Plano and Irving.
