How Many Service Providers Are in the U.S.?
Nearly 3,000 internet service providers operate in the U.S. Some are small, single-service providers, such as most of the 1,771 fixed wireless providers, and some are pretty massive, such as the giant fiber intenet providers like AT&T or Verizon that provide multiple internet connection types. Here’s an overview of the internet providers in the U.S. by connection type:

What Is the Availability of Internet Providers Across the U.S.?
The start of 2021 marked significant sutures in the broadband availability gap across America, but the wound is not entirely closed. According to the FCC’s 2021 annual report on the digital divide, 95.6 percent of Americans have access to high-speed internet (defined as 25 Mbps download speeds and 3 Mbps upload). The rate for rural residents decreases to 82.7 percent, and the numbers are even worse on tribal lands: 79.1 percent. Urban coverage is nearly 99 percent.
How Densely Are Providers Distributed Throughout the Country?
Most urban and suburban residents have two or three internet providers from which to choose. In more rural regions, however, many residents are lucky to have one provider offering internet service — and 19 million Americans still do not have access to broadband internet service. That said, rural internet options are developing quickly due to innovative satellite internet and 5G home internet solutions.
