Internet in Clovis, California

Four wired networks for the whole city

The FCC counts 38,711 broadband serviceable locations in Clovis as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026): single-family homes, apartment buildings counted once each, and business sites inside the city limits drawn for the 2020 Census. Only 2 companies report wired service at any of them, against 4¹ in neighboring Fresno. The table lists every provider by the share of locations where it reports service.

Two of the wired networks matter at scale. Xfinity reports cable at 95.9% of locations and offers 100/20 Mbps or more at 98.4%. AT&T reports some service at 92.2%, but offers 100/20 Mbps at only 41.6%: fiber where it has built it, and elsewhere DSL over telephone copper, which is reported at 59.1%¹ of locations, or fixed wireless. The other wired filers report only a handful of locations.

A provider "reports service" when it tells the FCC it serves a location or could connect it within ten business days of a request. These are the providers' own claims, and anyone can challenge them on the FCC National Broadband Map.

Top speeds without a second wire

Advertised speeds in Clovis are high almost everywhere. Service of 1,000 Mbps down and 100 Mbps up, the FCC's gigabit tier, is advertised at 98.0% of locations, compared with 67.4% across California and 72.3% nationally. Fiber reaches only 34.9%, so most locations with that tier get it over another technology. Uploads show the same shift: wired service of at least 100 Mbps in both directions is advertised at 97.2% of locations, up from 28.3%² in June 2022, when it matched the fiber share. With fiber still at about a third of the city, Xfinity's cable network, at 95.9%, is the only wire that can account for most of that. Xfinity's fastest advertised download in Clovis is 2 Gbps¹, on its small fiber footprint.

Speed and choice are separate questions, and on choice Clovis ranks low. At 59.2% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps, the 46th highest share among large cities, and Xfinity is that provider at 59.0%. Two or more wired providers at that speed are reported at 39.4%, below California's 49.9% and the national 55.6%. On average a Clovis location has 1.38¹ wired providers at 100/20 Mbps.

All speeds on this page are the maximums providers advertise to the FCC, not measured performance. The FCC data contain no prices; each provider's broadband facts label lists plans and prices for an address.

AT&T fiber decides where there are two

Two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps are reported at 39.4% of Clovis locations, and AT&T fiber alone reaches 34.9%¹; the other fiber filers add little beyond it. Outside AT&T's fiber footprint, most addresses have Xfinity as their only fast wire.

That boundary has moved slowly. Fiber from any provider rose from 28.3%² of locations in June 2022 to 34.9%, a gain of 6.6 percentage points that is the 77th lowest among the 343 large cities. DSL fell by 3.9 percentage points over the same four years. In the latest six months, since December 31, 2025, fiber grew by 0.8 percentage points¹.

Overlapping fiber is rare: 2 companies report fiber somewhere in the city, a count that ranks tied for 3rd lowest among large cities, and two or more fiber networks reach the same location at 941 locations (2.4%¹).

Radio networks over the whole city

Fixed wireless, service by radio from an antenna to a receiver on the building, is reported at 100.0% of Clovis locations. Counting it, 86.1%¹ of locations have three or more providers at 100/20 Mbps.

• unWired Broadband, a fixed wireless company that reports service in 1 state, California, reports every location in the city and 100/20 Mbps at 100.0%, advertising up to 1 Gbps.
• Verizon reports 79.7% of locations and T-Mobile 79.3%; at 100/20 Mbps the shares are 41.8% and 29.0%.
• Cal.net reports 43.0%, with an advertised maximum of 100 Mbps¹.

The way this coverage is filed changed in the latest release. Unlicensed fixed wireless, which uses shared radio bands, fell from 94.0% of locations in December 2025 to 62.7%, while licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps rose from 80.5%³ to 89.5%¹. Total fixed wireless coverage did not change.

Wireless coverage claims are not capacity: an antenna's bandwidth is shared, and a company can report a neighborhood while limiting how many homes it connects. That matters most for 530 locations (1.4%) where no wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps and fixed wireless is the only way to reach that speed; that share ranks tied for 55th highest among large cities. Just 15¹ locations count as unserved under the federal BEAD definition, with no wired or licensed fixed wireless service of 25/3 Mbps, and none depends on satellite alone.

What Clovis households subscribe to

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey asks households what they pay for, which is a different count from the FCC's locations: the survey estimates 44,109⁴ households in 2025, more than the 38,711¹ locations, because an apartment building is one location. In the 2020–2024 five-year survey, which has smaller margins than the single-year figures, 80.8% of Clovis households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±1.0 percentage points) and 4.3% had no internet subscription (±0.9 percentage points⁵).

The 2025 survey puts satellite subscriptions at 10.2% of households (±3.4 percentage points), the 13th highest estimate among large cities, against 7.8% statewide. That difference is within the survey's margin of error. Another 13.2% (±3.7 percentage points⁴) relied only on a cellular data plan.

Clovis beside its Central Valley neighbors

Each of the larger San Joaquin Valley cities has more wired companies than Clovis: 4 in Fresno, 3 in Visalia and 3 in Bakersfield. Advertised speeds differ more than fiber does: Bakersfield has fiber at a similar share, 35.5%, but the gigabit tier at only 40.1%¹ of locations.
