Wichita Falls in Texas
Fiber reaches 95.8% of the homes and businesses in Wichita Falls, up from 36.0%2 four years earlier, and 6 companies report it somewhere in the city. Most of that fiber is Metronet's, but not all of it: at 57.8%1 of locations a second fiber network is reported on the same street.
Wired, wireless and satellite providers in the city
The FCC counts 36,791 homes and businesses inside the Wichita Falls city limits, and 13 providers report wired or fixed wireless service at some of them as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026). Two networks cover nearly the whole city: Spectrum's cable at 94.4% of locations and Metronet's fiber at 89.5%1. The table lists every provider with the share of locations where it reports service and where it offers 100/20 Mbps or more.

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.
"Reports service" means the provider told the FCC it can install service there within ten business days. These reports can be challenged, and they describe the city as a whole, not a particular apartment or house.
Fiber from more than one company
The fiber map of Wichita Falls is not one company's. Metronet reports fiber at 89.5% of locations, and other companies report fiber in parts of the city: Comcell at 29.1%, AT&T at 24.2%, Syntrio at 23.9% and Southwest Oklahoma Telephone Company at 14.0%. Spectrum, otherwise a cable network here, reports fiber at 0.5%1.
Because those smaller networks overlap Metronet's, 57.8% of locations have two or more different fiber providers, a share that ranks 27th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Overall, fiber from any provider reaches 95.8% of the city, against 74.4%1 for Texas.
The fastest tiers follow the fiber. Metronet and AT&T each advertise up to 5 Gbps, and a top advertised download of 2 Gbps or more is reported at 56.5% of locations; Spectrum's cable tops out at 1 Gbps. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps, which in practice means fiber, is available at 95.8%1. All of these are maximum advertised speeds, not measurements.

Four years ago, one fast wire for most homes
In June 2022 the map showed a city served mainly by cable. Fiber reached 36.0% of locations, DSL over copper phone lines 67.9%, and at 64.0%2 only one wired provider offered 100/20 Mbps. Neither Metronet nor Syntrio reported any location in the city in that release.

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.

| DSL available | 67.9% | 28.4% | 28.3% | −39.6 pts |
By June 30, 2026 the single-wire share had fallen to 5.1%, and fiber had risen by 59.8 percentage points, the 24th highest increase among large cities. DSL fell to 28.3%. The FCC's count of locations in the city changed by only +186 over the same period, so the shift reflects networks reaching existing buildings, not growth in the number of buildings. In the latest release the fiber share changed by +7.7 percentage points1 between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
Three wired choices at most addresses
With Spectrum, Metronet and a third wire on many streets, 56.2% of locations can choose among three or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, the 32nd highest share among large cities. Across Texas the figure is 17.4%. A location in Wichita Falls has on average 2.751 wired providers at that speed.
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% |
Spectrum is the only wired option at 100/20 Mbps for 3.5% of locations. At 299 locations no wired provider offers that speed; 282 of them can get 100/20 Mbps only by fixed wireless, and 61 count as unserved under the BEAD program's definition. No location in the city depends on satellite alone.
A crowded field of fixed wireless
Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 99.6% of locations, 10th highest among large cities. 4 companies report it, and three of them cover most of the city. Syntrio, absent from the 2022 data, now reports service at 98.5% of locations, mostly by fixed wireless, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 60.8%. Verizon reports 86.4%, with 100/20 at 66.0%; T-Mobile reports 86.7%, with 100/20 at 33.1%1.

Smaller networks on unlicensed spectrum add more options. Texhoma Wireless reports service at 40.7% of locations, all of it at 100/20 Mbps or more, and AW Broadband at 33.9%. Web Fire Communications covers 50.5% of locations, but at 100/20 Mbps at only 0.0%. Fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more now reaches 86.3%1 of locations, against 5.8%2 in June 2022.
Beside Abilene, San Angelo, Lubbock and Amarillo
Metronet reports fiber at most locations in the large cities of West Texas as well: at 93.2% of locations in Abilene, 90.9% in Amarillo, 80.1% in San Angelo and 74.6% in Lubbock. In June 2022 those cities already had fiber at 67.5% (Abilene) to 79.3% (San Angelo) of locations, against 36.0%2 in Wichita Falls, so its gain since then is the largest of the group; Abilene's, the next largest, is 29.8 percentage points1.

Almost every household subscribes
The Census Bureau's survey shows how households use these networks. In 2025, 97.9% of Wichita Falls households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±1.6 percentage points), a share tied for 19th highest among large cities by point estimate, and 2.1% had none (margin of error ±1.4 percentage points). In 2019 the no-subscription share was 16.8% (margin of error ±3.6 percentage points), a difference far larger than the survey's uncertainty. Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 62.8%5 to 83.1%4.

Two cautions apply. The five-year estimate for 2020–2024, which pools earlier years, puts the no-subscription share at 11.7%6; the single-year figure is more recent but less precise. And a subscription is not the same as a computer: 19.0% of households have a smartphone but no desktop, laptop or tablet (margin of error ±3.9 percentage points), a share tied for 8th highest4 among large cities. Survey figures count households over a year; the FCC figures count locations on one date.

Checking one address in Wichita Falls
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.
