Modesto in California
Nearly every home and business in Modesto can order fast internet, but the choice of wires is narrow: Xfinity's cable reaches 99.6% of locations and fiber, almost all of it AT&T's, reaches 29.7%1. The rest of the choice comes by radio, and the city's households lean on phone plans more than most: 18.4%2 use only a cellular data plan at home.
Who reports service in Modesto
The FCC counts 63,085 homes and businesses inside Modesto's 2020 city limits.

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 longer part of the list is fixed wireless, where a provider's antenna on a tower or rooftop links to a receiver at the home. "Available" in these figures means the provider told the FCC it could install service within ten business days; it is not a guarantee for any one address, and reports can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map.
Fiber: one main network, below the state
Fiber reaches 29.7% of Modesto's locations, the 32nd lowest share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Statewide the share is 47.8%. Since June 2022 Modesto's figure has risen by 7.3 percentage points, from 22.4%3, including 2.9 percentage points1 in the six months after December 2025.

Almost all of that fiber is AT&T's. The other fiber filers are small, so two or more competing fiber networks meet at only 0.0% of the city. 31 companies report fiber somewhere in Modesto, most of them at a handful of addresses.
A second wire at fewer than half the addresses
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or faster is reported at 99.7% of locations, so speed is rarely the constraint. Choice is. Xfinity is the only wired provider at that speed for 60.9% of locations; among the 343 large cities, Modesto ranks 38th highest on that single-wire share. A second wired option, almost always AT&T fiber, is reported at 38.8%, against 49.9% across California. That share has grown by 5.5 percentage points1 since June 2022.

Four local wireless companies
Besides the national carriers, Modesto has four regional fixed wireless companies reporting service across large parts of the city: unWired Broadband at 100.0% of locations, Cal.net at 98.8%, Ayera Technologies at 60.5% and ezWave at 49.4%. ezWave reported service at only a small number of Modesto locations in June 2022 and is the provider whose footprint grew most since then. T-Mobile (87.2%) and Verizon (71.9%1) add licensed fixed wireless.
Counting wired and wireless together, 98.4% of locations have three or more ground-based providers reporting 100/20 Mbps (large-city rank: 5th highest1), up from 85.8%3 in 2022.

Those wireless reports are advertised maximums for a shared radio link, and the 100/20 share varies by company: ezWave offers it at 28.1% of locations, T-Mobile at 21.3%1.
Uploads moved faster than fiber
The largest change in Modesto since 2022 is in upload speeds rather than in who has a wire. Wired service of at least 100 Mbps in both directions went from 22.4% of locations in June 2022 to 71.0% in June 2026. Fiber reaches less than half that share, so most of the symmetrical 100/100 service now reported is over cable. Service at 1 Gbps down and 100 Mbps up, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, rose from 22.4%3 to 83.5%, against 67.4% statewide, and the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 69.4%1 of locations.

Every speed here is the maximum a provider advertises and reports to the FCC, not a measurement of what a connection delivers.
Households on phone plans alone
Wired service is offered almost everywhere, yet wired subscriptions are less common than in most large cities. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 18.4% of Modesto households used only a cellular data plan for home internet (margin of error ±3.4 percentage points), above California's 12.9%; by point estimate that ranks tied for 26th highest among large cities. 72.5% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin of error ±3.0 percentage points), against 78.8% statewide (a point estimate that ranks tied for 34th lowest among large cities), and 4.4%2 had no subscription at all.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026; Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2025 1-year detailed tables. Availability is a share of locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC); subscriptions are a share of households from the American Community Survey, 2025 (whiskers: 90% margin of error). Different units and dates: read the gap as a sign, not an exact number.
Show the numbers
| Measure | Share | MOE |
|---|---|---|
| Wired 100/20 Mbps available (FCC, share of locations) | 99.7% | |
| Households subscribing to cable, fiber or DSL (Census) | 72.5% | ±3.0 |
| Households relying only on a cellular data plan | 18.4% | ±3.4 |
| Households with no internet subscription | 4.4% | ±1.5 |
The survey counts households over a year and has a margin of error; the FCC figures count locations on one date. In 2019 the survey put Modesto's cellular-only share at 16.1% (margin of error ±2.8 percentage points4), so the two estimates do not clearly differ.

Checking one address in Modesto
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.
