Frisco in Texas
Frisco's fiber map filled in after 2022. Fiber was reported at 59.4%2 of the city's homes and businesses in June 2022 and at 93.5%1 by June 30, 2026, nearly all of it AT&T's, running beside Spectrum's cable. Nextlink, ElektraFi and WeLink, wireless companies that reported no Frisco locations in 2022, now offer home service in parts of the city too.
AT&T fiber and Spectrum cable at almost every address
The FCC counts 64,767 broadband serviceable locations in Frisco: every house, apartment building and business inside the city's 2020 Census boundary that could take a connection. Two wired networks reach nearly all of them. AT&T reports service at 97.2% and fiber at 92.0%, advertised up to 5 Gbps; where it has no fiber it reports DSL or fixed wireless. Spectrum reports 94.7%, mostly cable, with fiber at 8.5% and a top advertised download of 1 Gbps1.

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.
Each row is what the company filed for the National Broadband Map, with data as of June 30, 2026, in the FCC's revision of November 10, 2026. A location counts as served when the provider says it could install standard service there within ten business days; anyone who finds a listing wrong can challenge it on the FCC National Broadband Map. HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink list every Frisco location, as they do across the country, without advertising 100/20 Mbps anywhere in the city, so the sections below set satellite aside.
Counting every company that reports wired or fixed wireless service anywhere in Frisco gives 16, up from 92 in June 2022. That count is tied for 13th highest1 among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more.
How fiber filled in after 2022
Four years ago fiber stopped short of large parts of Frisco: it was reported at 59.4%2 of locations in June 2022. It reached 89.8%3 by December 2025 and 93.5% by June 30, 2026, a rise of 34.1 percentage points. The FCC's list of Frisco locations also changed, by +6,3821, so this page compares shares rather than counts.
The fiber build changed how much choice a typical address has. In June 2022, 33.1% of locations had exactly one wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps. That share is now 7.4%, and the share with two or more rose from 65.0% to 91.3%, against 66.2% for Texas. DSL over copper phone lines fell from 38.5%2 of locations to 26.1%1.

Advertised speeds moved with the fiber. In 2022 the fastest download on offer at 68.5% of locations was in the range from 940 Mbps to just under 2 Gbps, and 2 Gbps or more was advertised at 29.6%. By June 2026 the 2 Gbps tier covered 80.6%. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 measure, went from 59.4% to 98.6%, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service from 59.4%2 to 98.6%1. That last share is higher than fiber's, so cable also reports 100 Mbps uploads where fiber does not reach. These are maximums the providers advertise, not measured speeds.

Frisco beside McKinney, Allen and Plano
Fiber now reaches most locations in the cities around Frisco, but each got there differently. McKinney started lower than Frisco and climbed further. Plano already had most of its fiber in 2022, and today it is mainly Frontier's rather than AT&T's. Frisco sits between them, with the largest AT&T fiber share of the group.
| Area | Fiber available | Fiber available: change since June 30, 2022 | One wired choice | 2 Gbps or more | Terrestrial providers reporting service |

Frisco's fiber share is tied for 37th highest among large US cities. AT&T reports fiber at 92.0% of Frisco locations, 86.7% in McKinney, 83.4% in Allen and 15.4%1 in Plano. A household moving between Frisco and Plano will usually find fiber in either city, from a different company.
A second fiber line is still uncommon
10 companies report fiber somewhere in Frisco, up from 4 in June 2022, a count tied for 8th highest among large cities. Most of them cover small areas. Outside AT&T, the largest are Spectrum, whose fiber reaches 8.5% of locations; Frontier, at 6.3% with tiers advertised up to 7 Gbps; and Astound, which reports cable and fiber at 6,964 locations. Only 14.4%1 of Frisco can choose between two fiber networks, up from 5.5%2.
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.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
Where only one wire offers 100/20 Mbps, it is more often Spectrum (3.9% of locations) than AT&T (3.1%). The gaps are a few hundred locations: no wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps at 821, fixed wireless is the only route to that speed at 322, and satellite is the only service reported at 501.
Wireless home internet: carriers and newcomers
T-Mobile and Verizon report fixed wireless across most of Frisco, at 90.5% and 79.5% of locations. T-Mobile's advertised maximum here is 100 Mbps, and it offers 100/20 Mbps at 37.0%; Verizon advertises up to 1 Gbps, with 100/20 at 36.6%1. Between June 2022 and June 2026, Verizon added more Frisco locations to its filing than any other provider.
Three smaller wireless companies arrived in the same years. Nextlink Internet reports licensed fixed wireless at 24.4% of locations, advertised up to 200 Mbps. ElektraFi uses licensed and unlicensed spectrum across 19.5%, up to 400 Mbps. WeLink, on unlicensed spectrum only, reports 14.8%, with a top advertised download of 2 Gbps. Unlicensed fixed wireless as a whole went from 0.0%2 of locations in June 2022 to 31.8%3 in December 2025, then 24.3%1 in June 2026.

Wireless networks share radio capacity among everyone on a sector, so these companies can limit sign-ups address by address. A location in their filing is a place they say they can serve, not a promise of a free slot.
Households: wired subscriptions among the highest
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey measures what households buy, not what is available, so its figures cover households rather than locations. In 2025, 89.9% of Frisco households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±1.8 percentage points), the 3rd highest estimate among large cities; the Texas figure was 76.8%. Broadband of any kind reached 98.4% of households (±1.0 percentage points4).

Availability is a share of locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC); subscriptions are a share of households from the American Community Survey, 2025 (whiskers: 90% margin of error). Different units and dates: read the gap as a sign, not an exact number.

| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 98.7% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 89.9% | ±1.8 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 6.6% | ±2.2 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 1.6% | ±0.9 |
Few Frisco households depend on a phone plan alone: 6.6% (±2.2 percentage points), compared with 4.2% (±1.7 percentage points5) in the 2019 survey. The two estimates overlap within their margins, so the survey does not show a clear change. Those with no internet subscription at all made up 1.6% (±0.9 percentage points4). Because neighboring estimates overlap, the rank places Frisco among the highest for wired subscriptions rather than at an exact position.

T-Mobile reports home internet at 90.5% of Frisco locations and Verizon at 79.5%, but each offers 100/20 Mbps at a smaller share (37.0% and 36.6%1). The carriers confirm eligibility address by address, because a tower sector's capacity is shared.
Checking one address in Frisco
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.
