Fiber broadband reaches 60% of US households, FCC and industry data show

Comparing fiber-optic and cable internet, fiber uses light through glass strands while cable relies on electrical signals through copper coaxial lines, making cable more susceptible to weather-related interference. The Fiber Broadband Association reports over 60 percent of American households had fiber access as of September 2025, while FCC data shows 96.9 percent of Americans can get fixed broadband at 100/20 Mbps speeds.
