Georgetown in Texas
Optimum's cable network passes almost every home and business in Georgetown and is the only wired provider at 100/20 Mbps for 57.8% of them. Fiber, reported at 0.9% of locations in June 2022, now reaches 38.5%1, mostly from FiberFirst. DSL over the copper phone network, reported at 37.2%2 of locations in 2022, has all but vanished from the FCC data.
Optimum first, then a long list of smaller networks
Georgetown has 33,657 homes and businesses on the FCC's list of broadband serviceable locations as of June 30, 2026 (data revision of November 10, 2026). Optimum reports service at 94.4% of them, nearly all over cable, with fiber at 2.0%. No other wired company comes close: FiberFirst reports fiber at 32.4%, Spectrum at 8.0% (fiber and cable), Frontier at 1.4% and Astound at 0.6%. The second- and third-largest providers by reach are wireless: Verizon at 81.2% and VTX Communications at 77.4%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 (Viasat, HughesNet, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Each share is the part of the city's locations where a provider tells the FCC it serves or could connect a standard installation within ten business days. The reports are provider-filed, can be challenged on the FCC map, and describe the city as a whole rather than any one street.
One wired choice at most addresses
At 59.5% of Georgetown's locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps. Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Georgetown ranks 45th highest on that measure. In practice that single provider is almost always Optimum, which is the only wired option at that speed at 57.8% of locations. Two or more wired providers are reported at 37.1%, against 66.2% across Texas and 55.6%1 nationally.
The picture was starker in June 2022, when 94.2% of locations had a single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps and 3.3%2 had two or more.
Fiber since 2022, led by one new network
Fiber from any provider was reported at 0.9% of Georgetown's locations in June 2022. By June 30, 2026 the share was 38.5%, a rise of 37.5 percentage points. The largest single addition is FiberFirst, which reported no locations in the city in 2022 and now reports 10,903, with advertised downloads up to 5 Gbps. The number of companies reporting fiber somewhere in the city went from 42 to 91, most of them with small footprints.

Growth has slowed. Fiber stood at 37.3%3 on December 31, 2025, so the latest release added 1.2 percentage points. Four years on, Georgetown's fiber share is the 60th lowest among large US cities and well below the Texas share of 74.4%. Where fiber networks overlap, a location can choose between two of them; that applies to 1,130 locations, or 3.4%1.
Copper nearly gone, wireless almost everywhere
In June 2022 DSL over telephone lines was reported at 37.2%2 of Georgetown's locations. In the June 2026 data only 1 locations report it, 0.0% of the city and tied for the lowest share among large cities. Over the same period AT&T went from almost no reported locations in the city to 33.0% of them, mostly with licensed fixed wireless; its fiber reaches 0.6%, and it offers 100/20 Mbps at 3.9%1.

| Technology | Georgetown | Texas |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber | 38.5% | 74.4% |
| Cable | 95.3% | 77.0% |
| DSL (copper) | 0.0% | 26.7% |
| Licensed fixed wireless (incl. 5G home) | 97.7% | 91.0% |
| Unlicensed fixed wireless | 79.5% | 30.0% |
Fixed wireless now covers 99.0% of locations. Verizon reports home internet at 27,331 locations, several times its footprint in the city in June 2022, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 27.0% of them. T-Mobile reports 73.0%, with a maximum advertised download of 100 Mbps. Two fixed wireless companies other than the mobile carriers cover more of the city at 100/20 Mbps than either carrier: VTX at 77.0% of locations and Western Broadband, new since 2022, at 51.4%. Rise Broadband reports 35.8%1. Wireless capacity is shared on each tower, so providers can limit sign-ups at a given address even where they report service.
A small group of addresses lacks a fast wire. At 1,156 locations no wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps; for 954 of them, fixed wireless is the only service at that speed. 31 locations count as unserved under the BEAD definition (no reliable 25/3 Mbps service), and satellite is the only service reported at 11 location.
Why so few locations advertise a 1 Gbps download
Georgetown has the lowest share of locations with an advertised download of 1 Gbps or more among the 343 large cities: 38.8%, against 88.9% in Texas and 91.0%1 nationally. In June 2022 the share was 97.5%2.
Cable did not disappear in that time; it is still reported at 95.3% of locations. What changed is the fastest download reported over it. Optimum's maximum advertised download in Georgetown is now 940 Mbps, just below the 1 Gbps threshold, so the cable footprint no longer counts toward it and the remaining 1 Gbps offers are almost all on fiber. The FCC's speed tiers show the split: at 62.5% of locations the fastest advertised download is at least 940 Mbps but under 2 Gbps, and at 34.1%1 it is 2 Gbps or more.

| United States | 91.0% |
| Tyler | 89.6% |
| Texas | 88.9% |

Uploads follow the same line between cable and fiber. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or more is reported at 38.5% of locations, and the FCC's gigabit tier with 100 Mbps uploads (1,000/100) at 37.4%1. All of these are maximum speeds advertised by providers, not measurements.
Beside Round Rock, Austin and other Optimum cities
Georgetown's neighbors to the south have far more fiber. Round Rock reports fiber at 93.3% of locations and Austin at 82.4%; Williamson County, which includes Georgetown and Round Rock, is at 66.2%. Among Texas cities where Optimum is the largest provider, Tyler and Lubbock report the same 940 Mbps1 cable maximum, yet 1 Gbps downloads reach far more of their locations because other networks offer them.

Checking one address in Georgetown
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.
