Huntington Beach in California
Huntington Beach runs on two wires. Spectrum's network reaches 96.8% of the city's homes and businesses and Frontier's fiber 69.3%, so most addresses have two fast wired choices and almost none have three. Since 2022 the old telephone copper has all but disappeared from the FCC map, while fiber has grown by only 0.8 percentage points1.
Spectrum and Frontier, then wireless
Two companies provide almost all of the wired internet in Huntington Beach. Spectrum reports service at 96.8% of the city's 54,028 homes and businesses, mostly over cable and at 0.8% over fiber. Frontier reports service at 69.6%, and at 69.3%1 of locations that service is fiber. The other providers in the table below report either fixed wireless or a handful of business addresses.

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 (Viasat, HughesNet, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
These are the FCC's figures as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), for the locations inside the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. "Available" means the provider says it could install standard service within ten business days; each report can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map, which is also the place to check a single address.
Two fast wires, but not three
Fast wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 96.8% of locations. At 69.0% there are exactly two providers offering it, Spectrum and Frontier, and at 0.0% there are three or more. Across California, 49.9%1 of locations have at least two such wires.
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.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The other 27.8% of the city, about 15,000 locations, has a single fast wire, and it is almost always Spectrum's: Spectrum is the only wired provider at 100/20 Mbps at 27.8% of locations, Frontier at 0.0%1. Whether an address falls on the two-wire side or the cable-only side depends on whether Frontier's fiber runs past it.
Next to its Orange County neighbors
Fiber reaches more of Huntington Beach than of Orange County as a whole, where the share is 46.3%, and far more than Anaheim (36.0%). It reaches less than Fullerton (76.8%) and Long Beach, across the county line, where Frontier reports fiber at 81.7% of locations. Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, Huntington Beach's fiber share sits near the middle (tied for 157th lowest1).

The copper went, the fiber line stayed put
In the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, DSL over telephone lines was reported at 43.6%2 of Huntington Beach's locations. As of June 30, 2026 it is reported at 0.5%, a fall of 43.0 percentage points. DSL is now reported at 2831 locations in the whole city.
Fiber did not move into the space copper left. Its share rose from 69.1% to 69.9%, a change of +0.8 percentage points and one of the smaller gains among large cities (tied for 25th lowest). The share of locations with two or more wired choices barely changed either, from 68.7% to 69.0%. Cable was reported at 97.1%2 of locations in 2022 and at 96.6%1 now, so for most homes the change removed a slower option without adding a faster one.

Multi-gigabit on the fiber side
The split between the two parts of the city shows up in advertised speeds. At 69.0% of locations the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more; Frontier advertises up to 7 Gbps. At 28.4% the top tier is between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps, which matches Spectrum's advertised maximum of 1 Gbps1. Every slower tier rounds to zero.

Uploads divide the city the same way. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or more is advertised at 69.7% of locations, close to the fiber share, while a 1 Gbps download is advertised at 97.4%1. On the cable-only side, uploads are much slower than downloads. All of these are maximum advertised speeds reported by the providers, not measurements.
A wireless layer over the whole city
Wireless providers report service across most of the city. Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 88.2% of locations, and unlicensed fixed wireless at 83.9%1.

The largest wireless report comes from Cosmo Network Solutions, which uses unlicensed radio spectrum and reported nothing here as of June 2022. It reports service at 83.7% of locations and advertises 100/20 Mbps or more at 78.7%1. Six months earlier, as of December 31, 2025, unlicensed fixed wireless was reported at 99.5%3, so this figure has fallen between filings.
AT&T appears here as a wireless provider, not a wired one: its 53.9% footprint is almost entirely licensed fixed wireless, with fiber or DSL reported at only a few addresses, and it reported almost nothing in the city in 2022. It offers 100/20 Mbps at 5.3% of locations. T-Mobile reports home internet at 74.5% with 100/20 at 35.3%, and Verizon at 21.4% with 100/20 at 10.5%1. Wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so these reports describe where a carrier says it can serve, not that every home could sign up at once.
Nearly every household subscribes
In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 97.0% of Huntington Beach households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±1.6 percentage points), up from 91.8% in 2019 (±1.7 percentage points). The share with no internet subscription fell from 7.9%5 to 3.0% (±1.5 percentage points). 83.2% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±3.7 percentage points), and 12.2% relied on a cellular data plan alone (±2.4 percentage points4).
The survey counts households and the FCC counts locations, so the two sets of figures describe the same city from different angles rather than adding up. In Orange County as a whole, 47.4%1 of locations have a single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps; the California page has the county map.

Checking one address in Huntington Beach
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.
