What the 78626 broadband evidence shows

78626 is not a simple one-provider cable market. Current ZIP-level broadband records show a substantial Optimum cable footprint alongside a large FiberFirst fiber network, with AT&T Fiber and Spectrum reaching smaller portions of the ZIP. That mix makes the exact location particularly important when comparing wired service.

Fiber

FiberFirst has the largest reported fiber footprint

A current FCC-derived dataset reports FiberFirst fiber at approximately 48.6% of 78626, with advertised speeds up to 5 Gbps symmetrical. The same dataset describes FiberFirst coverage across southern, eastern, northern, central, southeastern and northeastern portions of the ZIP. This makes FiberFirst one of the most important address checks in 78626.

Cable

Optimum is the dominant cable network

Current ZIP-level records estimate Optimum cable availability at roughly 78% of 78626, substantially larger than the reported Spectrum footprint. Optimum's maximum advertised download speed in the ZIP is around 940 Mbps, while the reported cable upload ceiling is much lower. This creates a meaningful fiber-versus-cable distinction for residents.

Competition

AT&T and Spectrum add smaller wired footprints

AT&T explicitly lists Georgetown ZIP 78626 as part of its Fiber market, while current ZIP-level datasets report a smaller AT&T footprint than FiberFirst. Spectrum also appears in the ZIP, with current records showing a smaller cable footprint. These networks should be checked independently rather than assumed unavailable because they cover fewer locations.

78626 provider comparison

The comparison below separates providers with substantial ZIP-level evidence from smaller or technology-specific alternatives. Coverage percentages are research estimates derived from broadband datasets, not guarantees that a particular address can order service.

ZIP-level interpretation: 78626 is one of the more fiber-competitive Georgetown ZIP codes in the current evidence. FiberFirst has a substantial reported fiber footprint, AT&T has explicitly identified the ZIP within its Georgetown Fiber market, and Georgetown is also entering a new phase of fiber competition through the announced GFiber build. Optimum remains important because its cable footprint is much broader than the current Spectrum footprint.

Internet providers serving the 78626 market

The provider profiles below emphasize the networks that current evidence actually places in or directly associates with ZIP 78626. Coverage estimates are included only where they help explain the local market.

FiberFirst

Fiber Approx. 48.6% reported coverage Up to 5 Gbps

FiberFirst is one of the most important providers to check at a 78626 address. Current FCC-derived ZIP-level data estimate that approximately 48.6% of the ZIP has FiberFirst fiber availability, making it a substantially larger fiber footprint than the smaller fiber networks reported in the same data.

  • Current ZIP-level records place FiberFirst across multiple portions of 78626.
  • The reported maximum is up to 5 Gbps symmetrical.
  • FiberFirst maintains a Georgetown location at 2450 N.E. Inner Loop, Building 2, in ZIP 78626.
  • The ZIP percentage should be treated as a coverage estimate, not a property-level ordering result.
Local evidence: Current 78626 broadband data report approximately 48.6% FiberFirst fiber availability and up to 5,000 Mbps symmetrical service. The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce also lists FiberFirst at 2450 N.E. Inner Loop, Building 2, Georgetown, TX 78626.

Optimum

Cable Approx. 78% reported coverage Up to 940 Mbps

Optimum is the broadest major wired provider reported in current 78626 coverage data. One current FCC-derived dataset estimates approximately 78.34% cable availability in the ZIP. That makes Optimum important even at addresses where fiber providers are also present.

  • Optimum's reported cable footprint is substantially larger than Spectrum's in 78626.
  • Current data report maximum download speeds around 940 Mbps.
  • Reported cable upload capacity is much lower than FiberFirst's symmetrical fiber capacity.
  • Optimum infrastructure should be compared with FiberFirst and AT&T where both are available.
Local evidence: Current ZIP-level data estimate Optimum cable availability at about 78.3% of 78626. Another current Georgetown dataset also identifies Optimum as the largest substantial wired network in Georgetown.

AT&T Fiber

Fiber 78626 specifically listed Up to 5 Gbps

AT&T has unusually strong provider-specific evidence for Georgetown because its own service-area information explicitly lists Georgetown ZIP codes 78626, 78628 and 78633 with Fiber service up to 5 GIG. Current ZIP-level datasets indicate that AT&T's actual footprint in 78626 is smaller than FiberFirst's, so the distinction between city-level service and address-level availability matters.

  • AT&T explicitly identifies 78626 within its Georgetown Fiber market.
  • Advertised fiber speeds reach up to 5 Gbps where available.
  • AT&T Fiber should be checked separately from AT&T's non-fiber service.
  • The provider's address checker remains the final test for a specific property.
Local evidence: AT&T's current service-area information lists Georgetown ZIP codes 78626, 78628 and 78633 with Fiber service up to 5 GIG. Current independent ZIP-level data indicate a smaller AT&T footprint than FiberFirst in 78626.

Spectrum

Cable Smaller ZIP footprint Fiber marketed in Georgetown

Spectrum is a real but substantially smaller part of the current 78626 wired market. One current FCC-derived dataset estimates Spectrum cable coverage at roughly 17% of the ZIP. Spectrum also markets a fiber network in Georgetown, so the provider name alone should not be used to infer the technology available at a property.

  • Current ZIP-level records show Spectrum in a smaller southern and southeastern footprint.
  • Spectrum's Georgetown service information now markets fiber service as well as conventional internet service.
  • The reported ZIP footprint is much smaller than Optimum's cable footprint.
  • Exact address verification is necessary before excluding Spectrum from a property comparison.
Local evidence: Current 78626 broadband data report a smaller Spectrum cable footprint, while Spectrum's current Georgetown page advertises fiber service on its Georgetown network.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

5G fixed wireless ZIP-level presence Capacity dependent

T-Mobile is relevant to 78626 as a fixed-wireless alternative to the wired networks. Current ZIP-level provider datasets identify T-Mobile Home Internet in the area, but wireless home-internet eligibility cannot be inferred simply from mobile phone coverage.

  • Home Internet uses the wireless network rather than a dedicated fiber or cable line.
  • Eligibility can vary between nearby addresses because capacity is location dependent.
  • Indoor signal conditions and building construction can affect performance.
  • T-Mobile should be checked independently when wired service is unavailable or when another connection type is being considered.
Evidence standard: T-Mobile is included as a fixed-wireless provider identified in current ZIP-level 78626 datasets. This does not establish universal residential eligibility.

Verizon 5G Home Internet

Fixed wireless ZIP-level evidence Address dependent

Verizon provides another fixed-wireless option in the 78626 market. Current ZIP-level broadband data identify Verizon fixed wireless, but the service footprint is different from both FiberFirst and Optimum. Verizon's residential availability system should therefore be used at the exact address.

  • Service depends on Verizon's local wireless network and capacity.
  • General mobile coverage should not be treated as proof of Home Internet eligibility.
  • Building materials and indoor signal conditions can affect the usable connection.
Evidence standard: Verizon is included because current 78626 broadband datasets identify fixed-wireless service in the ZIP. The page does not convert that footprint into a universal residential availability claim.

Rise Broadband

Fixed wireless Local alternative Address dependent

Rise Broadband appears in current 78626 provider datasets as a fixed-wireless alternative. Its relevance is different from the large wired networks because fixed-wireless service can reach locations without the same neighborhood cable or fiber plant.

  • Useful to check at properties where fiber and cable choices are limited.
  • Wireless capacity and line-of-sight conditions can influence service.
  • Coverage estimates should not be treated as an orderable service result.
Evidence standard: Rise Broadband is included as a fixed-wireless provider identified in current 78626 broadband datasets.

BEC Communications

Fiber Small footprint Verify address

BEC Communications appears in current FCC-derived provider records for the Georgetown-area market with a small fiber footprint. It is not appropriate to present BEC as a ZIP-wide alternative, but its presence demonstrates that smaller local fiber networks can matter at individual properties.

  • Current datasets report a limited fiber presence.
  • Smaller networks may be associated with particular developments or local infrastructure.
  • Exact address verification is necessary.
Evidence standard: BEC is treated as a limited-footprint provider rather than a general 78626-wide service option.

GFiber

Planned fiber expansion Georgetown 2026 Not ZIP-wide availability

GFiber is important to 78626 because Georgetown approved a public right-of-way agreement with the company in October 2025. GFiber announced 1, 2, 3 and 8 Gig service for Georgetown and expected construction to begin in 2026, with availability arriving as portions of the network are completed.

  • The Georgetown expansion is a documented local infrastructure development.
  • Construction timing does not mean every 78626 address is currently serviceable.
  • GFiber should be treated as an emerging competitor until its network reaches a specific address.
  • Future buildout could change the competitive balance between fiber and cable in Georgetown.
Local infrastructure finding: Georgetown announced in October 2025 that GFiber would bring a new fiber-optic network to the city, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and service becoming available as completed network segments are activated.

Satellite providers

Satellite Broad geographic option Different network model

Satellite remains geographically relevant throughout 78626, particularly at properties outside the practical footprint of terrestrial networks. It does not depend on a neighborhood fiber or cable plant reaching the property, but it has different latency and equipment characteristics from fiber and cable.

  • Satellite can provide service where terrestrial networks are limited.
  • Latency is materially different from fiber and cable.
  • Equipment placement and unobstructed sky visibility can matter.
  • Current plan terms should be checked directly with the provider.
Evidence standard: Satellite is included as a broad geographic technology category, not as evidence that a particular satellite provider is the preferred connection for a 78626 household.

78626 internet speed guide

The important speed distinction in 78626 is not simply the advertised download ceiling. FiberFirst and AT&T can offer multi-gig fiber where available, while Optimum's much larger cable footprint provides high download capacity with materially different upload characteristics.

100–300

Mbps

Suitable for ordinary browsing, video calls, streaming and moderate household use when the connection is stable.

500 Mbps

Mbps

Provides additional capacity for multiple simultaneous users, streaming devices, downloads and work-from-home activity.

940 Mbps

High-capacity cable

Current 78626 data report Optimum cable service up to approximately 940 Mbps. The reported upload ceiling is substantially lower than FiberFirst's symmetrical fiber service.

1–5 Gbps

Multi-gig fiber

FiberFirst and AT&T advertise multi-gig fiber tiers where available. FiberFirst is reported up to 5 Gbps symmetrical in the ZIP, while AT&T advertises up to 5 GIG in Georgetown.

Do not compare download speed alone. In 78626, a 940 Mbps cable connection and a multi-gig fiber connection are not equivalent simply because both provide high download capacity. Upload performance, latency, network architecture, equipment and actual address-level availability can materially change the comparison.

Connection types in 78626

78626 has an unusually clear distinction between large cable coverage, substantial fiber coverage and smaller wireless or fiber footprints. The technology reaching a particular property can therefore matter as much as the provider name.

Fiber

FiberFirst has the largest reported fiber footprint in current 78626 data, while AT&T Fiber reaches smaller portions of the ZIP. GFiber is also building a new Georgetown network during the 2026 expansion period. Fiber generally provides the strongest upload capacity among the local wired options.

Cable

Optimum is the dominant cable network in the current ZIP-level data. Spectrum also has a smaller cable footprint. Cable can provide high download speeds, but the upload capacity can be substantially lower than symmetrical fiber.

5G / fixed wireless

T-Mobile and Verizon are relevant fixed-wireless alternatives in 78626. Wireless eligibility depends on network capacity and location, so it should be checked independently from mobile coverage maps.

Satellite

Satellite remains geographically available independently of local cable and fiber construction. It can matter at less-served properties, but latency and equipment characteristics differ substantially from terrestrial broadband.

What is different about broadband in 78626?

ZIP 78626 covers much of Georgetown's central and eastern residential market, including the historic core, Southwestern University area and rapidly developing residential corridors. That combination helps explain why fiber and cable footprints overlap unevenly and why newer development can produce different provider results from older neighborhoods.

1

FiberFirst is a major 78626 network, not a marginal local provider

Current ZIP-level broadband data estimate FiberFirst fiber availability at approximately 48.6% of 78626. The provider's reported footprint extends across multiple portions of the ZIP, and current data list symmetrical speeds up to 5 Gbps. This makes FiberFirst one of the first networks that should be checked at a 78626 address.

2

Optimum has the broadest major wired footprint

Current ZIP-level data estimate Optimum cable availability at roughly 78% of 78626. This is substantially broader than the reported Spectrum footprint and broader than the reported FiberFirst footprint. As a result, many addresses will encounter Optimum even when fiber alternatives are not present.

3

78626 has a meaningful fiber-versus-cable comparison

The local question is not simply which company serves Georgetown. At many properties, the useful comparison is between FiberFirst fiber and Optimum cable, with AT&T Fiber available at additional pockets. The difference in upload architecture is particularly relevant for households that regularly send large files or use cloud-based work systems.

4

AT&T explicitly identifies 78626 as a Fiber market

AT&T's own Georgetown service-area information lists ZIP 78626 alongside 78628 and 78633 with Fiber service up to 5 GIG. The provider-specific ZIP identification is stronger evidence than a generic statement that AT&T serves the Austin metropolitan area. The reported ZIP presence still does not mean every property has a fiber drop.

5

Spectrum is present, but not the dominant cable network in 78626

Current ZIP-level records show Spectrum cable in a smaller portion of 78626 than Optimum. Spectrum's current Georgetown marketing also identifies a fiber network in the city. This means Spectrum should be checked at an address where it appears, but it should not be presented as the primary wired network for the entire ZIP.

6

Georgetown's 2026 GFiber build could change the market

Georgetown approved a GFiber right-of-way agreement in October 2025, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and service becoming available as network sections are completed. The announced 1, 2, 3 and 8 Gig service tiers make this more than a routine provider listing: it is a documented infrastructure development that could add another fiber competitor to portions of 78626.

7

Southwestern University and multifamily housing make address checks important

The 78626 market includes Southwestern University and surrounding student-oriented and multifamily housing as well as established single-family neighborhoods. Apartment buildings can have internal wiring, bulk-service arrangements or provider relationships that differ from nearby detached homes. A nearby single-family address therefore should not be used as a proxy for an apartment unit.

8

New residential development can change the provider mix

Georgetown continues to add residential development in and around 78626. New subdivisions can have different conduit, fiber placement and neighborhood infrastructure from older portions of Georgetown. This can allow a fiber provider to reach a newer development while an older adjacent street has a different combination of networks.

78626 local broadband findings

The evidence is most useful when it is translated into what a resident should actually expect to find at a property.

Finding Evidence What it means for a 78626 address
FiberFirst fiber Current ZIP-level records estimate approximately 48.6% coverage and up to 5 Gbps symmetrical service FiberFirst should be one of the first fiber availability checks for a 78626 property.
Optimum cable Current ZIP-level records estimate approximately 78% cable coverage Optimum is the broadest major wired network in the ZIP and will be relevant at many addresses.
AT&T Fiber AT&T explicitly lists Georgetown ZIP 78626 as a Fiber market AT&T should be checked as a fiber provider rather than treated only as a legacy copper provider.
Spectrum Current ZIP-level data report a smaller cable footprint; Spectrum also markets fiber in Georgetown Spectrum is a property-specific wired alternative, but its ZIP footprint is smaller than Optimum's.
Fiber competition FiberFirst and AT&T currently have fiber evidence; GFiber announced a 2026 Georgetown build Some 78626 properties may have multiple fiber options, while others may still have only one wired technology.
GFiber expansion Georgetown approved a right-of-way agreement and GFiber expected 2026 construction Future availability should be monitored separately from current orderable service.
Fixed wireless T-Mobile and Verizon appear in current 78626 provider datasets Wireless can provide an alternative where wired choices are limited, but eligibility is address and capacity dependent.
Multifamily housing 78626 includes university-area and apartment properties Building wiring and provider agreements can make an apartment's provider list different from nearby homes.

Areas and development patterns inside 78626

These locations help explain the physical and housing context behind the ZIP's broadband competition. They are geographic reference points, not substitutes for address-level provider checks.

Historic Downtown Georgetown The older central Georgetown area sits within the 78626 market and contains established housing and commercial properties. Older infrastructure can differ from newer subdivision networks, making property-level verification important.
Southwestern University area The university corridor includes student-oriented housing and multifamily properties. Building wiring and property arrangements can affect which providers are actually orderable.
East Georgetown Residential development across eastern portions of Georgetown has contributed to a changing infrastructure environment, including newer subdivision construction that can have different network arrangements from older neighborhoods.
Southeast Georgetown Current ZIP-level FiberFirst data identify coverage in southeastern portions of 78626. Fiber and cable availability should still be verified separately at each address.
South Georgetown Current broadband mapping data identify both FiberFirst and Spectrum infrastructure in southern portions of the ZIP, illustrating how provider footprints can overlap unevenly.
NE Inner Loop / expanding residential areas FiberFirst maintains a Georgetown location at 2450 N.E. Inner Loop, Building 2, ZIP 78626. The surrounding development corridor also illustrates Georgetown's continued residential and infrastructure growth.
Why this matters: 78626 contains a mixture of older central Georgetown properties, university-area housing, established subdivisions and newer development. Those environments do not necessarily receive the same network infrastructure. A ZIP-wide coverage percentage can therefore describe the market without predicting the provider list at a specific home.

How to verify internet service at a 78626 address

The most reliable process is to use the ZIP-level market to identify which networks deserve a check, then verify the complete service address with the providers.

1. Check the major fiber networks

  • Check FiberFirst first because it has a substantial reported 78626 footprint.
  • Check AT&T Fiber independently because AT&T explicitly identifies 78626.
  • Check GFiber as its Georgetown network is built and activated.
  • Do not assume that fiber available on a nearby street reaches the property.

2. Check the cable networks

  • Check Optimum because it has the broadest major wired footprint in current 78626 data.
  • Check Spectrum separately because it has a smaller but documented local footprint.
  • Confirm the actual technology and upload characteristics.
  • Do not transfer coverage assumptions from another Georgetown ZIP.

3. Check fixed wireless

  • Check T-Mobile Home Internet at the exact address.
  • Check Verizon 5G Home Internet separately.
  • Consider Rise Broadband where it is reported as an alternative.
  • Do not infer Home Internet eligibility from general cellular coverage.

4. Check the property type

  • Identify whether the property is a detached home, apartment, condominium or other multifamily building.
  • Ask whether the building has existing fiber or coaxial wiring.
  • Confirm whether a landlord or property agreement affects provider choice.
  • Do not use a nearby single-family address as proof for an apartment unit.

5. Use FCC data as a research layer

The FCC National Broadband Map provides location-level information showing providers, technologies and reported speeds at individual locations. It is useful for checking the local competitive picture, but provider address systems remain the appropriate source for live ordering eligibility and current plan terms.

6. Separate current service from future construction

Georgetown's GFiber expansion is a documented infrastructure project, but a planned or partially constructed network should not be presented as current availability at every 78626 address. Treat future network announcements separately from providers that can currently accept an order at the property.

What to compare before choosing a 78626 connection

The local provider mix makes technology, upload capacity and actual property coverage more useful comparison points than the largest advertised download number alone.

Fiber versus cable

Compare upload capacity

FiberFirst advertises symmetrical speeds up to 5 Gbps in current 78626 data, while Optimum's much larger cable footprint has a significantly lower reported upload ceiling. For cloud backups, remote work and large file transfers, that difference can matter more than a modest difference in download speed.

Multiple fiber networks

Check every fiber provider separately

A 78626 address should not be treated as having only one fiber option. FiberFirst has the largest reported footprint, AT&T has explicitly identified the ZIP, and GFiber is expanding into Georgetown. The networks do not necessarily reach the same properties.

New development

Check newer subdivisions separately

New construction can have conduit and fiber infrastructure that differs from older Georgetown streets. When moving into a newer community, verify the actual address rather than relying on the provider list for the surrounding ZIP.

Check the exact 78626 address

ZIP-level research identifies the local market. Provider address tools determine what can actually be ordered at the property.

Check Availability

Sources and methodology

This page gives greater weight to official provider and local Georgetown information for provider-specific claims and uses current FCC Broadband Data Collection-derived datasets as a secondary ZIP-level coverage layer.

Official provider and local sources

  • AT&T's current Georgetown service information, which identifies Georgetown and advertises AT&T Fiber up to 5 GIG where available.
  • AT&T's current area-code service information, which specifically lists Georgetown ZIP codes 78626, 78628 and 78633 with Fiber up to 5 GIG.
  • Spectrum's current Georgetown service information, which identifies fiber service on the company's Georgetown network.
  • Georgetown local information documenting FiberFirst's Georgetown presence at 2450 N.E. Inner Loop, Building 2, Georgetown, TX 78626.
  • Georgetown's October 2025 announcement concerning the GFiber right-of-way agreement and planned 2026 network construction.
  • Current provider availability tools are treated as the final source for live property-level ordering, technology, plan and pricing information.

FCC and ZIP-level broadband data

  • Current FCC Broadband Data Collection-derived datasets were reviewed for provider and technology signals in ZIP 78626.
  • One current dataset estimates approximately 48.6% FiberFirst fiber availability and approximately 78.3% Optimum cable availability.
  • Current datasets also identify smaller AT&T, Spectrum, fixed-wireless and other provider footprints.
  • FiberFirst is reported at up to 5 Gbps symmetrical in current ZIP-level data, while Optimum cable is reported up to approximately 940 Mbps.
  • Coverage percentages are treated as estimates of reported service locations, not exact counts of households that can order service today.
Research limitation: A ZIP code is a geographic mailing boundary, not a broadband service boundary. Provider coverage can differ by street, census block, building, apartment unit and serviceable address. FCC availability information is provider-reported and should be used as a research layer rather than as a substitute for a provider's live ordering system.

78626 internet provider FAQ

Answers are based on current provider information and ZIP-specific broadband evidence reviewed for Georgetown ZIP 78626.

What internet providers serve ZIP code 78626?
Current ZIP-level evidence identifies FiberFirst, Optimum, AT&T, Spectrum and several fixed-wireless and satellite providers in 78626. FiberFirst and Optimum have the most substantial reported wired footprints, while AT&T and Spectrum reach smaller portions of the ZIP. Exact availability should be confirmed with each provider.
Is FiberFirst available in 78626?
Yes, current FCC-derived ZIP-level data report a substantial FiberFirst footprint in 78626. One current dataset estimates approximately 48.6% availability and reports speeds up to 5,000 Mbps symmetrical. That percentage describes reported ZIP-level coverage and is not a guarantee for every address.
Is Optimum available in 78626?
Yes. Current ZIP-level data identify Optimum as the broadest major wired network in 78626, with approximately 78% cable availability in one current dataset. Maximum advertised download speeds are around 940 Mbps in current ZIP-level records. Exact service and plan availability depend on the property.
Is AT&T Fiber available in 78626?
AT&T specifically lists Georgetown ZIP codes 78626, 78628 and 78633 in its current Fiber service-area information and advertises speeds up to 5 GIG where available. This confirms that 78626 is part of the Georgetown AT&T Fiber market, but it does not establish universal fiber coverage throughout the ZIP.
Does Spectrum serve 78626?
Yes. Current ZIP-level data report a smaller Spectrum cable footprint in 78626. Spectrum also currently markets fiber service in Georgetown. The exact technology and plan available at a specific property should be confirmed through Spectrum's address checker.
Is GFiber available in 78626?
Georgetown announced a GFiber expansion in October 2025, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and service becoming available as portions of the network are completed. The expansion is therefore relevant to 78626's future broadband competition, but the announcement should not be interpreted as proof that every 78626 address currently has GFiber service.
Can two nearby homes in 78626 have different providers?
Yes. FiberFirst, Optimum, AT&T and Spectrum have different network footprints within the ZIP. Wireless eligibility can also vary with network capacity and location. Apartment buildings and newer subdivisions can have infrastructure arrangements that differ from nearby properties.
Why is Optimum included when FiberFirst has faster fiber service?
Because coverage and technology are different questions. Current ZIP-level data indicate that Optimum's cable footprint is much larger than FiberFirst's fiber footprint in 78626. A provider with a lower maximum speed can still be the wired provider reaching a particular property.
Why does this page include multiple fiber providers?
78626 has evidence of multiple fiber networks. FiberFirst has a large reported footprint, AT&T explicitly identifies the ZIP as a Fiber market, and GFiber is expanding into Georgetown. These networks do not necessarily overlap at every property, so each should be checked independently.
Is the fastest advertised speed necessarily the best connection?
Not necessarily. Download speed is only one measure. Upload capacity, latency, congestion, equipment, installation requirements, pricing after promotional periods and the network technology actually reaching the property should also be considered.
Why does this page use ZIP-level data instead of claiming exact coverage?
Provider networks do not follow ZIP boundaries exactly. ZIP-level datasets are useful for identifying the local competitive market, but an individual property may have fewer or more choices than the ZIP average suggests. Location-level broadband maps and provider address checkers are more appropriate for final service verification.
Availability disclaimer: Provider names, technologies, advertised speeds, pricing and availability can change. ZIP-level broadband information does not guarantee service at an individual address. Apartment buildings, subdivisions, new construction and individual properties may have different network infrastructure. Always confirm service, technology, speed, equipment requirements and current pricing directly with the provider before ordering.
