Elk Grove in California

Two companies have laid fiber in Elk Grove, Consolidated Communications and Frontier, and at 32.7% of the city's homes and businesses both report it, more than five times California's share.

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, Viasat, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.

The rest of the list is radio and satellite: two fixed wireless companies other than the national carriers that each reach almost the whole city, the national carriers' home internet, a few smaller radio networks, and three satellite services reported at every location. A provider counts as available where it told the FCC it can install service within ten business days; anyone can challenge that claim on the FCC National Broadband Map.

Two fiber footprints that overlap

Fiber from at least one provider reaches 70.9% of Elk Grove's locations, well above California (47.8%) and above the national share (62.6%). Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, that is a middling figure (162nd lowest). The unusual part is how it is split. Consolidated reports fiber at 57.2% of locations and Frontier at 46.4%, and the two footprints overlap: 32.7% of locations have two or more fiber providers, the 56th highest share among those cities. Statewide the figure is 5.8%, nationally 12.1%1.

That overlap is new. In June 2022, 7.4% of locations had two fiber providers, while fiber of any kind already reached 65.5%2. Since then the share with any fiber rose by 5.4 percentage points and the share with two rose by 25.3 percentage points1: most of the fiber added since 2022 reached locations that already had a fiber provider.

Copper almost gone, uploads up

In June 2022 DSL over telephone copper was reported at 43.2%2 of Elk Grove's locations. By June 2026 the share was 3.8%, a fall of 39.4 percentage points, while California still reports DSL at 43.7%1. What DSL remains is reported mostly by Frontier and AT&T; Consolidated, the larger fiber network, reports almost none.

Advertised speeds moved over the same years. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps went from 65.5% of locations to 90.0%, and the FCC's gigabit tier (1 Gbps down with at least 100 Mbps up) from 62.7% to 90.0%, against 67.4% statewide. Both now exceed the fiber share, so part of that reach is advertised over cable. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 90.0% of locations, up from 18.1%2; Frontier advertises up to 7 Gbps1. These are providers' advertised maximums, not measured speeds.

One wire, two or three

Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.1% of locations. The number of wired providers offering it splits the city into three groups of similar size: one provider at 28.5%, two at 37.5% and three or more at 33.1%. In June 2022 only 7.1%2 had three or more. At least two are reported at 70.6% of locations, against 49.9%1 across California.

Where there is only one fast wire, it is almost always cable: Xfinity is the only wired provider at 100/20 Mbps for 28.2% of locations, Frontier for 0.3%1. Those are largely the parts of the city outside both fiber footprints.

Fixed wireless at nearly every address

Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, reaches 100/20 Mbps at 99.6% of locations, the 4th highest share among large cities, up from 20.2%2 in June 2022. Counting wired and fixed wireless providers together, 99.2% of locations have three or more offering 100/20 Mbps, the 2nd highest1 share among large cities.

The widest coverage does not come from the national carriers. DigitalPath Inc reports licensed fixed wireless at 98.7% of locations, advertising up to 200 Mbps, and unWired Broadband reports unlicensed fixed wireless at 100.0%, with 100/20 Mbps at 97.3%. T-Mobile's footprint is larger than Verizon's (80.8% against 46.8%), but each offers 100/20 Mbps at a minority of locations. A third licensed fixed wireless company, Softcom, reports service at 6.4%1.

Radio capacity is shared by everyone on a tower, so these figures show where providers report service, not where every home could sign up at once. For 4831 locations, fixed wireless is the only way to get 100/20 Mbps: no wired provider reports that speed there. No location in the city is left with satellite alone.

What Elk Grove households subscribe to

The Census Bureau's 2025 survey counts households, not locations. In Elk Grove, 96.4% of households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±1.7 percentage points) and 84.1% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±3.2 percentage points). 9.1% relied on a cellular data plan alone (±2.3 percentage points), and 3.6% had no internet subscription (±1.6 percentage points4). The survey does not say which network a household uses.

Elk Grove beside its Central Valley neighbors

The table sets Elk Grove against Sacramento, Roseville, Stockton and Fresno on the same FCC release. Elk Grove has the most fiber of the five, but the wider gaps are in overlap, in the number of fast wires per address and in how much copper remains.

Checking one address in Elk Grove

The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. 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.
