Internet Market in Wyoming

Wyoming has a highly concentrated broadband market (HHI: 14,773) where CenturyLink leads with 67.11% coverage reach — 4.6 percentage points ahead of the next-largest provider, Spectrum at 62.54%. With one provider this dominant, Wyoming households often have fewer competing deals to play off each other, and the leader faces little urgency to cut prices or upgrade speeds. The remaining 5 providers in Wyoming cover a fraction of addresses, limiting their competitive impact. FCC analysis consistently links single-dominant-provider markets to higher average monthly bills than markets with two or more genuinely overlapping ISPs.

Fiber availability at 67% is modestly ahead of the national average of 57%, putting Wyoming slightly ahead of the nationwide fiber buildout curve. Nationally, fiber coverage is expanding by roughly 8 percentage points per year, driven by BEAD infrastructure grants and private carrier investment from AT&T, Frontier, and Google Fiber. Fixed wireless internet — including 5G home internet from T-Mobile and Verizon — covers 51% of addresses, 19 points above the national fixed wireless average of 32%. Higher-than-average wireless availability gives residents an additional competitive alternative that can keep wired ISP pricing in check.

Fiber internet is available from 4 providers (CenturyLink, Verizon Fios, AT&T Internet), with 67.11% fiber coverage — significantly above the national average of 57%. Fiber delivers symmetrical upload and download speeds — a key advantage for households with multiple remote workers, video conference participants, or content creators who upload large files. Nationally, fiber represents the fastest-growing broadband technology segment, expanding at roughly 8 percentage points of coverage per year. Spectrum provides the primary cable broadband alternative with 62.54% coverage — cable coverage in line with the national average of 72%. Cable internet uses DOCSIS 3.1 technology to deliver download speeds of 100 Mbps to 1.2 Gbps, though upload speeds (typically 10-35 Mbps) lag behind fiber's symmetrical performance. For households that do not require heavy upstream bandwidth, cable plans often offer competitive pricing to fiber. Fixed wireless internet — including 5G home internet services — is available from T-Mobile and Verizon 5G Home, reaching 50.64% of addresses (well above the national fixed wireless average of 32%). Fixed wireless offers a no-installation alternative that is increasingly competitive with cable for everyday internet use, with speeds typically ranging from 50-300 Mbps download. Unlike satellite, fixed wireless delivers lower latency (20-40 ms), making it viable for video conferencing and gaming. Satellite internet (Starlink, HughesNet, Viasat) reaches addresses that wired broadband can't. Starlink's low-Earth-orbit (LEO) technology delivers 20-60 ms latency — a major improvement over geostationary services at 600+ ms — making it a practical choice for rural households without fixed-line options.

Wyoming received $347 million in federal BEAD funding. The Wyoming Broadband Office is currently in the challenge phase, which means providers and communities can dispute the FCC broadband maps that determine which locations qualify for funding — a critical step before deployment grants are awarded. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) previously provided up to $30/month subsidies for eligible households, though federal funding expired in 2024. Some providers continue offering voluntary low-income discounts.
