Coverage percentages come from the FCC National Broadband Map (data as of December 31, 2025), which reports the share of residential units in a Census place where a provider says it can deliver service. The provider list shows up to eight wired and fixed-wireless companies that each report coverage of at least 10% of homes inside Melissa city limits; satellite companies are covered separately above, and smaller providers can also serve parts of town even if they are not listed here.
