Chicago is Comcast AS7922's headquarter metro and the allocations for the Loop, North Side, and near-West suburbs resolve cleanly to Chicago proper on commercial GeoIP. AT&T Internet fiber covers the Loop and a handful of Gold Coast / River North tracts. Mobile is a genuine three-way race: T-Mobile SA is now live across the full DMA, Verizon's Ultra Wideband footprint is deepest in the Loop and River North, AT&T leans stronger in the Cook County suburbs.

- Mobile leaders: T-Mobile (AS21928), Verizon Wireless (AS22394), AT&T Mobility (AS20057).
