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 is counted where it reports that it can connect a location within ten business days of an order; anyone can challenge a report on the FCC map. Frontier's California network is largely the former Verizon California system, transferred under the California Public Utilities Commission's Decision 15-12-005 of December 2015. The commission approved Verizon's purchase of Frontier in January 2026, but the June 2026 filings still list the fiber under Frontier.
The third wire: where the two cable networks overlap
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 98.4% of locations. At 81.1% there are exactly two wired providers at that speed, normally Frontier and one of the cable companies. At 10.9% there are three or more. Utah Broadband, the only other wired provider of note, reports fiber at just 951 locations, so a third wire in Menifee almost always means that Spectrum and Mediacom both reach the address alongside Frontier.
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.

That overlap sets Menifee apart from its southern neighbors. Temecula and Murrieta also have Frontier fiber nearly everywhere, but Spectrum is their only cable network, and the share of locations with three or more wired choices is 0.0% in Temecula and 0.0% in Murrieta. Statewide it is 6.5%1.

Fiber was already there in 2022; copper is now gone
Most of Menifee's fiber predates the federal map. In the first FCC map, as of June 30, 2022, fiber already reached 89.0%2 of locations. It now reaches 93.8%, a share ranked 34th highest among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more, against 47.8% across California. Over the same four years the FCC's count of locations in the city changed by +4,207, and Frontier now reports 37,3281 of them.
DSL over copper phone lines fell from 18.0% of locations to 0.2%, a drop of 17.8 percentage points; only 66 locations still report it. Two or more fiber networks at the same address remain rare, at 4.0%, up from 0.0%2: Spectrum reports fiber at 2.1% of locations, Mediacom at 2.1% and Utah Broadband at 0.2%1.

Because fiber is so widespread, the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 93.3% of locations, and gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (1,000/100) is advertised at 93.8%1. These are maximums providers advertise, not measured speeds.

Wireless: AT&T arrived, fast offers thinned
AT&T reported almost no fixed wireless in Menifee in 2022; it now reports it at 17,619 locations, or 44.2% of the city, with downloads advertised up to 100 Mbps. T-Mobile reports 73.3% at up to 100 Mbps, and Verizon 5.3% at up to 300 Mbps.

Overall reach went the other way. Licensed fixed wireless was reported at 96.3%2 of locations in 2022 and at 86.4% now, the 34th lowest share among large cities. Offers of 100/20 Mbps or faster fell from 31.2%3 in the December 31, 2025 data to 22.6%, ranked 11th lowest among large cities and well below California's 56.1%1.

A few hundred addresses still left out
Menifee's gaps are small but, for a city this wired, unusual. At 237 locations (0.6%) no wired or licensed fixed wireless service reaches 25/3 Mbps, which makes them unserved in the federal BEAD program's terms. That share is tied for 10th highest among the 343 largest cities; Temecula's is 0.0%. Another 91 locations are underserved, with something between 25/3 and 100/20 Mbps. Satellite is the only service reported at 7 locations, and fixed wireless is the only land-based service at 1401.

What Menifee households subscribe to
The Census Bureau's survey counts households, not locations, and its Menifee estimates are imprecise. In the 2025 American Community Survey, 81.1% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±2.2 percentage points), against 77.6% (±3.6 percentage points5) in 2019; the two ranges overlap, so the survey does not show a clear change. 10.7% relied on a cellular data plan alone (±2.8 percentage points), 6.5% reported a satellite subscription (±2.3 percentage points) and 3.7% had no internet subscription (±2.6 percentage points). The phone-only share is higher than in Temecula (6.5%) and Murrieta (5.7%4), but with margins of this size the gap is not certain.

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.
