Internet in Provo, Utah
Fiber is available at 87.6% of the 22,116 homes and businesses the FCC counts in Provo, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 99.0%. 86.4% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 12.6% there is only one.1

Provo in Utah
Provo is a two-wire city. Xfinity's cable reaches 97.7% of its homes and businesses and Google Fiber 87.1%, so 85.6% of locations have exactly two wired providers at 100/20 Mbps. A third is rare: 0.9%, against 31.2%1 across Utah.
Xfinity and Google Fiber, then everyone else
Each row below is a company that told the FCC it serves locations inside Provo's 2020 Census boundary, with the share of the city's 22,1161 homes and businesses where it does, as of June 30, 2026 (file revision November 10, 2026). The FCC counts locations: a house, a whole apartment building and a shop are one location each. A listing means the company says it could install standard service within ten business days, and any listing can be challenged on the FCC's National Broadband Map.

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.
Only two of these rows are fast wired networks that cover nearly the whole city. Xfinity's cable is reported at 97.7% of locations and Google Fiber at 87.1%. The other fiber filers are small in Provo: UTOPIA Fiber at 0.6% of locations, SenaWave at 0.1%, Utah Broadband at 0.4%. AT&T's large share is fixed wireless; its fiber, filed under the Quantum Fiber brand, reaches 0.1%1.
Two wired choices, seldom three
Because the two big networks overlap almost completely, the number of fast wired providers at a Provo address is unusually uniform. Exactly two wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps at 85.6% of locations, 31st highest among large cities; nationally the figure is 44.6%. Three or more is the case at only 0.9%, far below Utah's 31.2% and the US figure of 11.1%1.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
A single wired option is less common than it was. In June 2022, 20.6%2 of locations had exactly one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; in June 2026 the share is 12.6%. Where only one remains, it is usually Xfinity, the sole wired 100/20 provider at 11.3% of locations; Google Fiber is the sole one at 1.1%. No wired provider offers that speed at 1.0%1.
Fiber that was here before the map
Fiber in Provo is not a recent arrival. Google Fiber's network here began as iProvo, a fiber network the city started building in 2004, which Google agreed to buy in 2013, according to Google Fiber's announcement. On the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, fiber was already reported at 79.1% of Provo's locations, close to Salt Lake City (82.6%) and far above Utah as a whole (42.3%) or West Jordan (6.7%2).
The share rose to 87.6%3 by December 31, 2025 and is 87.6% now, 97th highest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Utah's statewide share is 76.4% and the national one 62.6%1. The speeds on the network changed too. In the June 2022 file, Google Fiber listed its Provo homes at a 2 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload; in the June 2026 file nearly all of its records are residential and list 8 Gbps in both directions, with business records at lower tiers.

Xfinity's cable uploads went up
The largest speed change since 2022 came from cable, not fiber. In the June 2022 FCC file, Xfinity listed every Provo cable location at a 1.2 Gbps download and a 35 Mbps upload. In the June 2026 file it lists every one at a 2 Gbps download and a 250 Mbps upload. That moved gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, from 79.1% of locations to 99.2%, an increase of 20.1 percentage points. Wired service of at least 100 Mbps in both directions rose from 79.1%2 to 99.0%1.

The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 99.0% of locations. Google Fiber advertises up to 8 Gbps; Xfinity's top figure, 2 Gbps1, comes from business fiber records, not its cable service. These are maximum advertised speeds from provider filings, not measurements.
Subscriptions have caught up with the wires
Census survey estimates show a large change in what Provo households buy. In the 2019 American Community Survey, 73.3% of households had a broadband subscription of any type (margin of error ±3.5 percentage points) and 26.7% had no internet subscription (±3.4 percentage points). In the 2025 survey, broadband subscriptions stood at 94.6% (±2.2 percentage points) and households without a subscription at 5.2% (±2.2 percentage points). The intervals do not overlap. Wired subscriptions, meaning cable, fiber or DSL, rose from 64.7%4 to 83.4% (±3.3 percentage points5).

| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 99.0% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 83.4% | ±3.3 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 7.7% | ±2.2 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 5.2% | ±2.2 |
The survey counts households and the FCC counts locations: the Census estimates 36,4615 households in Provo, while the FCC lists 22,1161 locations, because an apartment building is one location however many homes it holds. The 2020–2024 five-year estimate, from a larger sample that reaches further back, puts the no-subscription share at 15.2% (±1.5 percentage points6).
Copper and fixed wireless fill in the count
CenturyLink reports DSL over its telephone lines at 75.1% of locations, tied for 49th highest among large cities and up from 66.7%2 in 2022. The speeds are low: CenturyLink offers 100/20 Mbps at 0.2%1 of locations, and more than half of its DSL records in Provo list advertised speeds of zero in the FCC's public file.
| Measure | Provo | Utah | United States | Rank among largest cities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSL available | 75.1% | 53.6% | 36.2% | 49th of 343 |
| Fixed wireless | 99.5% | 97.1% | 89.2% | tied 52nd of 343 |
| Fixed wireless 100/20 | 58.6% | 55.9% | 47.9% | 131st of 343 |
| Unlicensed fixed wireless | 48.8% | 66.1% | 19.7% | 80th of 343 |
| Satellite only | 0.0% | 0.7% | 0.8% | tied 96th of 343 |
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Rank 1 is the highest value. FCC file revision of November 10, 2026. Shares are of broadband serviceable locations (homes and businesses), not people.
Fixed wireless is reported at 99.5% of locations. T-Mobile reports home internet at 86.7%, with 100/20 Mbps at 27.8%; Verizon at 64.4%, with 100/20 at 38.2%; AT&T at 70.2%, with 100/20 at 6.5%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or more went from 9.1%2 of locations in June 2022 to 58.6%. Rise Broadband (62.5%) and Utah Broadband (35.8%1) report a mix of licensed and unlicensed service. Carriers limit how many homes can sign up in each tower sector, so a reported area is not a promise for every household at once.
Satellite is reported everywhere, but it is the only option at just 41 locations.
Provo among Utah's large cities
Fiber reaches most addresses in each of Utah's largest cities, but they differ in how many wired providers compete at each one. Salt Lake City and West Valley City have three or more at most locations; Provo, like St. George, mostly has two.

Checking one address in Provo
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.
