* This operator reports several technologies to the FCC nationally. The federal data does not break that down by city, so we cannot tell you which one reaches a specific street in Chicago. Satellite providers are shown last and marked “nationwide” because they cover essentially every address in the country, so their coverage figure tells you nothing about Chicago specifically.
What speeds are available across Illinois
This is state-level data, not Chicago data. The FCC does not publish speed availability below county level, so we will not pretend to have a figure for Chicago. Treat the table below as the backdrop for Illinois as a whole.
| Technology | 25/3 Mbps | 100/20 Mbps | 250/25 Mbps | 1 Gbps / 100 Mbps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber | 40% | 40% | 40% | 40% |
| Cable | 90% | 90% | 90% | 51% |
| Fixed wireless | 91% | 62% | 13% | 1% |
| Any technology | 100% | 100% | 100% | 73% |

How to read these numbers
A provider at 90% is a realistic option for almost everyone in Chicago. A provider at 5% has built out a handful of streets and possibly including yours, possibly not. Neither figure is a promise, because providers report their own coverage to the FCC and the data is known to overstate it.
If a provider tells you they cannot serve your address, they are right and the map is wrong. We would rather say that plainly than pretend to a precision this data does not have.
