Internet providers and fiber in San Bernardino, California
Fiber is available at 69.0% of the 50,881 homes and businesses the FCC counts in San Bernardino, and wired broadband of at least 100/20 Mbps at 94.4%. 68.6% of locations have a choice of two or more wired providers at that speed; at 25.8% there is only one.1

San Bernardino in California
Two wired networks cover most of San Bernardino: Frontier's fiber, reported at 67.1% of the city's homes and businesses, and Spectrum's cable, at 94.2%1. Fiber reaches far more of the city than of California as a whole, most DSL has dropped out of the filings since 2022, and yet 21.0%2 of households own a smartphone and no other computer.
Frontier and Spectrum: the two wires
As of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026), 7 companies report fixed land-based internet service somewhere among San Bernardino's 50,881 locations, the FCC's count of homes, apartment buildings and businesses that can be connected. Two of them carry almost all wired service. Cable is reported at 94.0% of locations, almost all of it from Spectrum, with downloads advertised up to 1 Gbps. Frontier reports fiber at 67.1%, with a top advertised download of 7 Gbps1, and a small remainder of DSL.
| Spectrum | Fiber Cable | 94.2% | 94.2% | 1 Gbps | 25.6% |

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 (Starlink, HughesNet, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
A provider counts here where it tells the FCC it could connect a location within ten business days; the FCC calls that "available", and anyone can challenge a listing on the FCC map. Satellite service from HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink is reported at every location and is left out of the choice counts below.
How much of the city has fiber
Fiber from at least one provider is reported at 69.0% of San Bernardino's locations, against 47.8% for California and 62.6% for the US. It is not new: the share was already 66.0%3 in June 2022 and has risen 3.0 percentage points1 since.
The fiber is almost entirely one network. Spectrum reports fiber at 1.0% of locations and AT&T at 1.1%, and 3 companies report fiber in all. Their footprints rarely meet Frontier's: two or more fiber providers are reported at 69 locations, or 0.1%, a share ranked tied for 31st lowest among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Statewide it is 5.8%1.
Frontier's fiber also draws sharp lines between cities in San Bernardino County. It is reported at 77.2% of locations in Ontario and 86.4% in Hesperia, but at 0.2% in neighboring Rialto and 11.2% in Fontana, where the overall fiber shares are 20.7% and 30.5%1.

Two wired choices, or Spectrum alone
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 94.4% of locations. Where Frontier's fiber and Spectrum's cable overlap, a home has two wired options at that speed; that is the case at 68.6% of locations, above the California share of 49.9%. A third wired option is reported at 0.0%1, because no other wired network covers more than a sliver of the city.
At 25.8% of locations only one wire offers 100/20, and it is almost always Spectrum's: Spectrum is the sole wired provider at that speed for 25.6%. The average location has 1.631 wired providers at 100/20 Mbps.

Most DSL dropped out of the filings
In June 2022, DSL over copper telephone lines was reported at 53.8%3 of San Bernardino's locations. By June 30, 2026 it was 9.4%, a fall of 44.5 percentage points. Over the same four years the fiber share rose by only 3.0 percentage points: copper left the filings far faster than new fiber arrived. California still reports DSL at 43.7%1 of its locations.
Most of the DSL that remains is AT&T's, with a small number of Frontier copper lines. AT&T reports service at 50.1% of locations, mostly by fixed wireless, with DSL and a little fiber, and offers 100/20 Mbps at 7.9%1.

Multi-gigabit tiers, and a step back on uploads
Fiber shapes the speed figures. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 68.2% of locations, roughly Frontier's fiber footprint, and around 1 Gbps at 26.3%1, mostly Spectrum-only addresses.
The FCC's stricter gigabit tier, 1,000 Mbps down with at least 100 Mbps up, moved backwards in the latest filing. It was reported at 78.8% of locations as of December 31, 2025, more than the 68.6%4 with fiber at that date. By June 30, 2026 it was 69.1%, about the fiber share, after a fall of 9.7 percentage points that ranks 3rd lowest among the changes in large cities. Symmetrical 100/100 Mbps service fell by 9.0 percentage points to 69.0%. Nearby cities fell too, by less: Rialto by 6.5 percentage points, Ontario by 7.4 percentage points and Rancho Cucamonga by 7.5 percentage points1. All of these are maximum speeds the providers advertise, not measurements.

The carriers, and a radio network not counted here
Ultimate Internet Access Inc lists an unlicensed radio network across most of San Bernardino, but files it as business-only service, so it is not counted on this page. Unlicensed fixed wireless from any provider is reported at 0.1% of locations, a share that ranks tied for 144th lowest1 among large cities.
Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, covers less of the city than in most large cities: 81.4% of locations, the 17th lowest share. T-Mobile reports it at 69.7% and Verizon at 15.3%. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps or faster dropped from 49.8%4 of locations on December 31, 2025 to 28.0%1 as of June 30, 2026. Because wireless capacity is shared on each tower, a reported location is not a guaranteed sign-up.
The few hundred locations without fast service
The gaps are small, and one of them widened in the latest release. 266 locations (0.5%) are unserved in the federal BEAD program's sense, with no wired or licensed fixed wireless service at 25/3 Mbps. That share rose by 0.4 percentage points since December 31, 2025, the 2nd highest increase among large cities. No wired provider reports 100/20 at 2,829 locations, and 576 reach that speed only by fixed wireless. Satellite is the only option at 31 locations.
Households that connect by phone
The Census Bureau's 2025 survey counts households, not locations, and shows a gap between the networks on the street and the devices at home. In San Bernardino, 21.0% of households had a smartphone and no desktop, laptop or tablet (margin of error ±3.2 percentage points), the 5th highest share among large cities and well above California's 8.8%2.
Subscriptions have climbed. Households with a broadband subscription of any kind rose from 80.9% (±2.8 percentage points) in 2019 to 94.3% (±1.7 percentage points), and those with no internet subscription fell from 18.8%5 to 5.7% (±1.7 percentage points); neither pair of ranges overlaps. Cable, fiber or DSL subscriptions stand at 76.0% (±2.5 percentage points), and 13.6%2 of households rely on a cellular data plan alone.

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.
