Fiber internet providers in the United States

1,517 operators report fiber service to the FCC. About 56% of US homes can get fiber at 100 Mbps or better. Almost all of them are regional, so which one you can get depends entirely on where you live.

What fiber actually is

A glass optical line run to the building. Upload and download speeds are usually the same, latency is low and steady, and a busy neighborhood does not slow you down. The catch is availability: fiber was built out street by street over decades, so two homes a few hundred feet apart can have completely different options.
