Tempe Residential Internet Coverage

With its convenient location between Mesa and Phoenix, it's no surprise that the city of Tempe has many established internet service providers. Fiber is currently expanding in this region.

Currently, Centurylink Prism offers coverage to the neighborhoods of East Rio, West Rio, and Indian Bend in the north. CenturyLink has a much larger DESL network that brings service to all of Tempe.

Through Ygnition Networks, several communities throughout Tempe have access to high-speed service. The network reaches Daley Park and University Estates in the north, stops briefly in the central part of the state, and picks back up in the southern neighborhoods of Wood Park, Pepperwood, and Tempe Royal Estates.

National provider TW Telecom has a similar coverage area, with coverage available south of Holdeman and Marilyn Ann. Certain eastern neighborhoods, like Shalimar and McClintock, fall outside the service area.

Megapath and Level 3 Communications both have a huge presence in Tempe, bringing consistent service to the entirety of the city.
