Daly City in California
Daly City has a cable line at nearly every address and fiber at most of them. Xfinity reports service at 99.7% of the city's homes and businesses, AT&T reports fiber at 69.5% as its DSL footprint shrinks, and a second cable network from Astound covers 63.0%1. What the city rarely has is a choice between two fiber companies.
Who reports service in Daly City
The FCC's June 30, 2026 data (file revision of November 10, 2026) list 11 companies offering wired or fixed wireless internet at some of Daly City's 21,723 homes and businesses. Two of them reach almost the whole city: Xfinity, at 99.7% of locations over cable, and AT&T, at 97.4% over a mix of fiber, DSL and fixed wireless. Astound runs a second cable network across 63.0%1.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of the area's broadband serviceable locations where the provider reports service as of June 30, 2026. "Only wired option" is the share of locations where it is the single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. Provider-reported and challengeable; speeds are advertised maximums, not measured; no prices. Satellite providers (HughesNet, Starlink, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
A provider "reports service" at a location when it tells the FCC it could connect it with a standard installation within ten business days. These claims can be challenged, and one address can be checked, on the FCC National Broadband Map. The page covers the city within its 2020 Census limits.
AT&T fiber at most locations, Sonic on a few
Fiber from at least one provider reaches 76.9% of locations, against 47.8% across California and 62.6% nationally; among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more, that is a share that ranks tied for 157th highest, near the middle. Most of it is AT&T's: the company reports fiber at 69.5% of locations and advertises downloads up to 5 Gbps. Where AT&T has not built fiber, it still reports DSL over copper telephone lines, which is why it offers 100/20 Mbps at 78.1%1 of locations rather than everywhere it reports service.
Sonic, filed as Sonic.net in June 2022 at about the same number of locations, now reports fiber at 8.7% of locations, or 1,880 of them, with advertised downloads up to 10 Gbps. Little of that footprint overlaps another fiber network: two or more fiber providers are reported at only 1.9% of locations, or 405, against 5.8% across California. Astound's fiber, at 0.7%1, adds little. The strip below places the city's two-fiber share among all large cities.

More fiber than San Francisco, less overlap
Daly City's numbers read differently beside its neighbors in the same FCC release. San Francisco has fiber at a lower share of locations, 60.8%, yet two fiber providers at 26.8%. In San Mateo, fiber reaches 88.3%, Sonic reports fiber at 34.4% of locations there, and two fiber providers are reported at 28.5%1.
| Area | Fiber available | Two or more fiber networks | Cable available | Three or more wired choices | DSL available: change since June 30, 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daly City, California | 76.9% | 1.9% | 99.9% | 55.6% | −20.8 pts |

Three wired choices for most locations
Wired choice is wide even so, because AT&T's fiber and the two cable networks run past many of the same addresses. 55.6% of locations have three or more wired providers offering 100/20 Mbps, the 33rd highest share among large cities and far above California's 6.5%. Another 34.2% have two. On average, a location has 2.491 wired providers at that speed.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Different wired providers (fiber, cable or DSL; FCC provider IDs) reporting 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up or more at the same location. Fixed wireless and satellite are not counted.

| California | 6.9% | 43.2% | 43.4% | 6.5% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The single-wire share, 10.1%, is down from 15.6%2 in June 2022, and in almost all of those places the one wire is Xfinity's. Only 26 locations have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; 24 of them get that speed from fixed wireless, and no location in the city depends on satellite alone. Under the BEAD program's definitions, 01 locations are unserved.
Cable at almost every address
Cable is reported at 99.9% of Daly City's locations; among large cities, its cable share is tied for 3rd highest. Nearly all of it is Xfinity's network, which offers 100/20 Mbps at 99.7% of locations and is the only wired provider at that speed for 9.9%. Astound's cable overlaps it on 63.0% of locations and advertises up to 1.5 Gbps1.
With cable at almost every address, a 1 Gbps download is advertised at 99.9% of locations, and the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 94.0%1. These are the providers' advertised maximums, not measured speeds.

Since 2022: copper retreats, uploads rise
The largest change in Daly City since the first National Broadband Map is in what the phone network carries. DSL was reported at 89.6%2 of locations in June 2022 and at 68.8% in June 2026, a fall of 20.8 percentage points, while fiber rose by 16.0 percentage points. Between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 alone, fiber gained 3.2 percentage points1.

| Measure | June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2026 | Change (points) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSL available | 89.6% | 68.7% | 68.8% | −20.8 pts |

| One wired choice | 15.6% | 10.7% | 10.1% | −5.5 pts |
The faster speed tiers moved further than fiber did. Gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) went from 61.0% of locations to 94.2%, and the share whose fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more went from 47.4%2 to 94.0%1. Both now exceed the fiber share, so networks other than fiber also advertise these tiers in parts of the city.
Fixed wireless: two smaller networks lead
6 companies report licensed fixed wireless in Daly City. The two that offer 100/20 Mbps across most of the city are not the mobile carriers: Unwired reports it at 81.9% of locations and Etheric Networks at 73.1%, each advertising up to 250 Mbps.

The categories in the filings also shifted. In June 2022, unlicensed fixed wireless was reported at 90.6% of locations and licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps at 4.8%2; by June 2026 the figures were 5.2% and 95.6%, the 15th highest1 licensed share among large cities. A tower's capacity is shared, so wireless providers accept customers address by address; the FCC figures show where service is reported, not how many homes could sign up at once.
Fewer locations than households
The FCC counts 21,7231 locations in Daly City, while the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates 32,262 households (margin of error ±7864). The difference comes from how the FCC counts: an apartment building is one location however many units it holds, as the methodology explains. Every share on this page is a share of locations, so a building with many apartments weighs the same as a single house.
The same five-year survey found 94.7% of households with a broadband subscription of some kind (margin ±1.2 percentage points), 82.1% subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (margin ±1.4 percentage points) and 5.2% with no subscription (margin ±1.2 percentage points4). The 2025 one-year estimate of 94.8% carries a much wider margin, ±2.6 percentage points5, which is why the five-year figures are used here.

If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
