Which product will my address get?

In the Dec 31, 2025 snapshot, fiber accounts for 7.6% of Optimum's Texas locations, and FCC shows Optimum fiber in 89 of the 327 Census places where it reports service. Confirm the current product at your address. These listed towns have the most reported fiber locations:

Celina: 6,594 of 11,539 Optimum locations report fiber.
Leander: 6,125 of 16,272.
Prosper: 5,981 of 12,454.
Anna: 5,065 of 8,875.
Hereford, in Deaf Smith County: all 4,717 Optimum locations report fiber.

In the Dec 31, 2025 snapshot, no provider reports fiber in Breckenridge (Stephens County) or Cisco (Eastland County), while fiber reaches 1.8% of Monahans homes (Ward County). Those figures do not establish the main wired option for an individual home.

If the result at your address names an Optimum fiber tier, choose an Optimum fiber tier helps you pick one.

How sure is each claim on this page?

L1: ZIP estimate. A ZIP code covers many streets. We do not publish ZIP pages.
L2: FCC-reported (used on this page). Providers report the technology at each location to the FCC National Broadband Map.
L3: Provider-coverage (used on this page). Optimum names the place on its own locations page (shown as "Listed by Optimum").
L4: Provider-confirmed address. Only the address check reaches this level. It returns the offer for your street address and unit.
L5: User-confirmed orderable. We never claim this level. You confirm it when you place the order.

Deciding in Texas

Houston, Dallas, McKinney, Frisco or Round Rock: Optimum reaches few homes here, so start with the other companies.
Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Abilene or San Angelo: Optimum cable reaches most homes, and fiber from any provider reaches 83.5% of Lubbock homes. Put the two plans' upload speeds side by side.
Celina, Prosper, Anna or Leander: ask whether your street is on Optimum fiber or cable. The plan names in the result tell you.
Waco and seven more listed towns show no Optimum location inside the city limits. Kingwood, New Caney and the two Air Force bases are not Census places.
