What is reported in Newport city

The share of this place's 14,640 broadband-serviceable locations where at least one provider reports that speed, over that technology, in its filing to the FCC. These are the Commission's own published figures. A location reachable by two technologies appears under both, so the rows overlap and must never be added together, and none of this is a guarantee of service at a particular address.

Reported availability by technology and speed in Newport city
Technology	25/3	100/20	250/25	1 Gbps
Any Technology combined Every reported technology combined, satellite included. Because satellite is reported at nearly every location, this row is close to complete almost everywhere and says the least about what a household can actually buy.	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%	6.7%
All Wired combined Cable, fiber and DSL combined: the technologies that reach the building on a physical line.	92.5%	92.5%	92.5%	6.7%
Any Terrestrial combined Everything except satellite, so wired technologies plus fixed wireless.	98.2%	95.2%	92.5%	6.7%
Fiber Light carried over an optical line run to the building. Of the technologies here it is the one that most often carries upload speeds close to its download speeds.	83.4%	83.4%	83.4%	0.3%
Cable The shared coaxial cable that also carries cable television. Download speeds are usually much higher than upload speeds on the same connection.	9.3%	9.3%	9.3%	6.3%
Copper DSL over existing telephone wiring. Speed depends on the distance from the provider's equipment and falls as that distance grows.	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
Licensed Fixed Wireless A radio link between an antenna fixed to the building and a nearby tower, on spectrum licensed to the provider. It needs a clear path, so terrain and buildings matter.	93.0%	63.3%	0.0%	0.0%
Unlicensed Fixed Wireless Fixed wireless on unlicensed spectrum, the same bands used by Wi-Fi. Same line-of-sight requirement, and no protection from interference.	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
NGSO Satellite A constellation of satellites in low orbit, far closer than geostationary ones, so the delay the trip adds is much smaller. Service still needs a clear view of the sky.	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%	0.0%
GSO Satellite A satellite in geostationary orbit. The signal travels roughly 70,000 km up and back, which adds a delay noticeable in calls and video conferencing.	100.0%	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%

100/20 Mbps is the FCC's current benchmark for broadband. The speeds are the ones providers advertise in their filings, not measurements.

Household subscriptions in Newport city

Separately from the provider records on this page, the Census Bureau asks households whether they subscribe to internet service. That answers a different question: not who reports they could serve an address, but how many households say they do pay for service. The two are not the same measure and are not combined here.

How to read these results

Reported locations, not households

A broadband-serviceable location (BSL) is the counting unit in the source data. Counts include locations with residential or mixed residential/business offerings (R/X); they are not household coverage percentages. A location can appear under several providers or technologies, so those counts must not be added together.

An advertised pair, not a speed test

Each speed shown is one explicit download/upload pair from the selected data. We choose the highest explicit download, then upload for ties. It is not a measured speed, a currently purchasable plan, or the highest upload across every record. Tier-coded records do not establish exact Mbps and may conceal higher download values.

Check service at your address

A provider reporting service somewhere in a state or city does not guarantee service at your home. Provider names are FCC filing identities, which may differ from retail brands. Confirm current service, speeds and terms directly with the provider; prices and plans are not verified here.
