Which product will my address get?
Cable. All 11 Mississippi Census places where FCC shows Optimum report cable, and none report Optimum fiber.
Statewide, fiber from any provider reaches 64.4% of homes, a bit more than cable at 60.1%. Greenville and Indianola sit far below that. In both, Optimum's cable competes with services that are not fiber.
One more figure sets the state apart. In the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 estimates, 12.3% of its households have no internet at home. That is the most of the 16 states with an Optimum guide on this site.

Deciding in Mississippi
- Greenwood: the snapshot reports fiber from another company at about half of homes. Compare upload speeds if both fiber and Optimum cable are offered at your address.
- Greenville or Indianola: check which wired providers offer service at your address. Read each returned plan's label for upload speed, equipment and data limits.
- Moorhead: it is not on Optimum's list, but FCC shows 513 Optimum locations there.
If cost matters most, find lower-cost internet you qualify for lists the programs to ask about. For how cable and fiber differ, see fiber, cable and 5G: practical differences.
