17 of the operators we cover report service somewhere in Indiana, of which 8 sell fiber. Below is how much of the state each one reaches, how Indiana compares on choice, and what that means for a specific address.

| Measure | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|
| Residential locations | 2,700,879 | 114,550,235 |
| At most one wireline company in the block | 12.1% | 15.7% |
| In a block with no wired company at all | 1.7% | 1.5% |
| In a block where nobody reports fiber | 21.6% | 27.9% |
| In a block with exactly one fiber company | 53.5% | 52.2% |
| In a block with two or more wired companies, none of them fiber | 14.0% | 17.4% |
Indiana has more wireline choice than the country as a whole, because a smaller share of the state is served by a single wired company. These are floors rather than estimates, for reasons we set out in the national study. In Indiana that third row is 45,463 residential locations with no wired option reported by anybody: not fiber, not cable, not copper.
Having a choice is not the same as having a good one. 2,373,868 Indiana locations sit in a block with two or more wired companies. Of those, 84.0% have at least one company offering fiber, and 0.1% have nothing but copper between all of the companies reaching them. The last row of the table is the same fact counted against the whole state rather than against the households it applies to.

* This operator reports several technologies to the FCC nationally, and the federal data does not break that down by state, so we cannot tell you which one reaches a specific address in Indiana. Read the percentage as the whole company, not the brand. A national carrier files its fiber, its cable, its copper and its fixed wireless under one identifier. We mark a technology plainly only when at least 80% of what that operator reports nationally sits on it, or when its entire filing sits on one technology.
Covers the 79 operators we have mapped from FCC holding-company names to the brand people actually buy. Smaller operators that file under a name we have not yet matched are not listed here, so a local provider missing from this table may still serve you, because the address check below reads the raw filing and will show it.

Reading this page honestly
A statewide percentage tells you about Indiana. It does not tell you about your street. Fiber in particular was built out block by block, and nationally up to one in nine residential locations sits in a block where fiber exists and still does not reach the building, so a provider showing strong statewide coverage here can still tell you no.
Providers report their own coverage to the FCC and the data is known to overstate it. Where a provider says it cannot serve you, it is right and the filing is wrong.
