Evansville is mostly a WOW! and AT&T market with growing Metronet fiber competition. WOW! Business has the dominant cable footprint across the metro. AT&T Business Fiber covers parts of the metro. Metronet has been aggressively building fiber across the city. T-Mobile fixed wireless is widely available.
The pricing problem in Evansville is the assumption that the new fiber overbuilder is too small to take seriously. Metronet often comes in 25 to 30 percent below the incumbent on fiber to the building.
Evansville's commercial layout
Evansville's commercial demand sits in three places. Downtown Evansville holds the legal, financial, and government corridor along Main Street. The Green River Road corridor on the east side is the suburban office and retail spine. The Vogel Road corridor, which connects to Lloyd Expressway, holds mid-size office, light-industrial, and small-business tenancy. Berry Global, headquartered in the metro, and Old National Bank are two of the largest commercial accounts in Evansville and shape enterprise telecom demand here.
In 2024, Evansville-based Metronet announced its sale to a T-Mobile and KKR joint venture, with Metronet retaining responsibility for fiber network engineering, deployment, and installation. That tie keeps Metronet a serious local fiber overbuilder in its hometown market. One regulatory wrinkle: Indiana made the IURC the sole video franchise authority in 2006, and the commission says it does not regulate video rates or pricing options offered to Indiana customers, which means franchise leverage and rate complaints both have limited city-level recourse.

| 500 Mbps | $955 – $1,660/mo | n = 6 |
| 1 Gbps | $1,195 – $2,000/mo | n = 7 |
