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, Starlink, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
These are the providers' own filings to the FCC, as of June 30, 2026 (revision of November 10, 2026), for locations inside the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. "Available" means the provider says it could install standard service within ten business days; anyone can challenge a filing on the FCC map.
Fiber went from half the city to nearly all of it
Pearland's fiber share rose by 40.3 percentage points between June 2022 and June 2026, the 57th highest increase among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. AT&T's copper retreated at the same time: DSL, reported at 65.8% of locations in 2022, was down to 46.1%. The number of providers reporting fiber somewhere in the city went from 32 to 61.
