Fixed broadband in the United States - Statistics & Facts
As data intensive technologies become increasingly prevalent in American homes and workplaces, U.S. internet users are growing ever more reliant on stable broadband internet connections. While expanding 5G coverage has made mobile data services a viable alternative, fixed-line broadband connections remain the primary method by which users gain internet access from a fixed location, with fiber connections providing the low latency and high speeds necessary for clear video calls, smooth online gaming, and seamless workplace collaboration. The fixed broadband market has seen several major shifts in recent years, as major network operators such as AT&T, Verizon, and Frontier compete to deliver the fastest fiber services with the broadest coverage.
