FCC Pleased With Pace of Broadband Deployments
The agency's 706 report did not include analysis of broadband affordability or adoption
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission said Friday that broadband is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion, reversing a finding from 2024 under the Biden administration.
The agency review found 96.9 percent of people in the U.S. had access to terrestrial broadband of at least 100 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 20 Mbps upload (100 * 20 Mbps) as of June 2025, an increase from 94.5 percent two years prior.
