Of those companies, Cox and Verizon are the two that matter for wired service. Cox reports 43,120 locations, nearly all on cable, with downloads advertised up to 2 Gbps. Verizon reports fiber at 70.6%1 of the city, filed at 940 Mbps, and fixed wireless at some addresses its fiber does not reach. T-Mobile and AT&T file fixed wireless only.

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.

Each share is the part of the city's locations where a company told the FCC it serves customers or could connect one within ten business days. Filings can be challenged, and single addresses looked up, on the FCC National Broadband Map. The filings carry no prices.

Verizon fiber or Cox cable, street by street

Wired service at 100/20 Mbps is reported at 98.0% of locations. What varies is whether a home has one such wire or two. Where Verizon's fiber runs, it overlaps Cox, and 67.8% of locations have both. Where it does not, Cox is alone: it is the only wired 100/20 provider at 27.4% of locations, while Verizon is alone at 2.9%1.

The ceiling is two. Three or more wired 100/20 providers are reported at 0.0% of Hampton's locations, against 3.2% across Virginia and 11.1% nationally. Hampton's share with two or more, 67.8%, is still above the state's 58.9%1, because Verizon's fiber covers so much of the city. For a renter or buyer here, the practical question is usually whether a particular block is on Verizon's fiber map.

Six months that moved more than the three and a half years before

On the first national map, as of June 30, 2022, fiber reached 67.1%2 of Hampton's locations. By December 31, 2025 it was 67.5%3. Then, in the six months to June 2026, it rose to 70.8%, a gain of +3.2 percentage points that ranks tied for 90th highest among large cities for that period. Of the total rise since 2022, +3.7 percentage points1, most came in that last release.

The same release cut the one-wire share. Locations with a single wired 100/20 provider went from 33.4% to 30.3%, a change of −3.1 percentage points, and those with two rose from 64.6%3 to 67.8%1. One release is a short record; the next filings will show whether the expansion continues. The data say where fiber is reported, not why it was built.

Copper gone, wireless thin at 100/20

DSL over telephone lines appeared at 27.2%2 of Hampton's locations in 2022. By June 2026 no DSL filings remained (0 locations), which puts Hampton tied for the lowest1 among large cities for DSL. The FCC data record that the filings ended, not why.

Licensed fixed wireless is reported almost everywhere, at 95.4% of locations, but at 100/20 Mbps or faster at only 27.3%, the 24th lowest share among large cities; statewide it is 31.7%. T-Mobile files the widest wireless footprint, 90.1% of locations, and reaches 100/20 at 18.6%. AT&T filed nothing in Hampton in 2022 and now lists 24,412 locations, with 100/20 at 3.6%1. A tower sector's capacity is shared, so a reported location is one where a carrier may accept a customer, not one where it must.

Where the gigabit share comes from

The FCC's gigabit measure requires 1,000 Mbps down and at least 100 Mbps up. In Hampton it covered 1.1%2 of locations in 2022 and 73.2% in June 2026, against 60.1%1 for Virginia. That share is larger than the fiber share, and Verizon's 940 Mbps fiber filings fall just short of the download line, so the gigabit figure rests on Cox's cable filings, which now report faster uploads. Most of the rise was already in place by December 2025, when the share stood at 66.8%3.

The handful without a fast wire

895 locations, 2.0% of the city, have no wired 100/20 provider. Fixed wireless is the only 100/20 option at 158 of them, satellite is the only reported service at 20, and 571 are unserved under the BEAD program's definition: no reliable wired or licensed fixed wireless service at 25/3 Mbps. Virginia's plan for those funds is on the Virginia page.

Subscriptions caught up with the network

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey measures what households subscribe to, which the FCC map does not. In the 2025 survey, 96.5% of Hampton households had a broadband subscription of any type (margin of error ±1.9 percentage points), against 94.0% statewide. In the 2019 survey the figure was 85.9% (±2.8 percentage points), and households with no internet subscription fell from 14.1%5 to 3.5% (±1.8 percentage points4). Both changes are larger than the margins.

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.

Cable, fiber or DSL subscriptions were reported by 83.8% of households (±3.0 percentage points), and 11.4%4 relied only on a cellular data plan. Households surveyed over a year and FCC locations on one date are different units, so the two sets of figures sit side by side rather than adding up.

Checking one address in Hampton

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.
