Internet in Santa Clarita, California

Who reports service in Santa Clarita

Spectrum and AT&T are the two networks that reach nearly every location. Spectrum reports service at 97.3% of the city's 57,063 homes and businesses, almost entirely over cable, with fiber at 0.4%. AT&T reports 89.4%, but offers 100/20 Mbps at only 32.0%¹: outside its fiber areas the company reports DSL over telephone copper or fixed wireless. The table lists every provider by the share of locations where it reports service, as of June 30, 2026 (FCC revision of November 10, 2026).

The FCC counts locations, not people: a house, an apartment building or a shop is one location each. "Available" means the provider reported that it could install service within ten business days, and every claim can be challenged on the FCC map. The figures cover the city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census.

Spectrum alone at two addresses in three

Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 97.7% of locations, so speed at the basic broadband level is not the issue; choice is. At 66.8% of locations exactly one wired provider offers that speed, the 26th highest share among large cities, and that provider is Spectrum. Across California the figure is 43.2%¹. The single-wire share has fallen from 72.9%² in June 2022, over the same period in which fiber spread from AT&T and the smaller builders.

Fiber at about one location in five

Fiber is the scarce technology here. At least one provider reports fiber at 18.3% of locations, the 12th lowest share among large cities, against 47.8% statewide. AT&T accounts for most of it, at 15.8%. The next-largest fiber network belongs to Aspire Broadband, which reported no service in the city in June 2022 and now reports fiber at 2.3%, with advertised downloads up to 5 Gbps¹.

The number of companies reporting fiber rose from 3 in June 2022 to 4, and the fiber share from 11.3%² to 18.3%. Of that rise, 2.4 percentage points came after December 31, 2025. Overlap is still rare: two or more fiber networks reach 0.3%¹ of locations.

Less fiber than every neighbor

The low figure stands out most against the cities around Santa Clarita. To the north, Lancaster has fiber at 82.5% of locations; to the west, Simi Valley has it at 99.9% and Thousand Oaks at 83.0%¹. In each of those cities the second-largest provider is a fiber network: Race Communications in Lancaster, Anthem Connect in Simi Valley, Frontier in Thousand Oaks. In Santa Clarita it is AT&T, whose footprint here is still mostly copper.

Gigabit downloads, slower uploads

A 1 Gbps download is advertised at 97.5% of locations, largely over Spectrum's cable. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps, the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, is advertised at 18.4%, the 5th lowest share among large cities. That tier fell by 2.2 percentage points since December 2025 even as fiber rose: in the December filing it was reported at more locations than fiber, and in the June 2026 filing the two shares are almost the same, so fast uploads now follow the fiber footprint. Where fiber is present, the advertised ceiling is high: the fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 15.3%¹ of locations. All of these are providers' maximum advertised speeds, not measurements.

Fewer wireless options than most large cities

Fixed wireless home internet from licensed spectrum, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 76.2% of locations, 8th lowest among large cities, against 88.1% statewide. In June 2022 the share was 96.5%². Today T-Mobile reports service at 63.5% and Verizon at 29.4%; Verizon added more locations since 2022 than any other provider in the city. Fewer locations get 100/20 Mbps over the air: 21.9%, which ranks 9th lowest¹. Wireless capacity is shared on each tower sector, so carriers decide eligibility address by address.

As a result, three or more land-based providers at 100/20 Mbps, wired or wireless, are reported at only 9.6% of locations, the 4th lowest¹ share among large cities.

Nearly every household subscribes

Limited choice has not meant low uptake. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 1.5% of Santa Clarita households had no internet subscription (margin of error ±0.6 percentage points), tied for 7th lowest among large cities, down from 5.2%⁴ in 2019. Cable, fiber or DSL subscriptions were reported by 87.3% of households (±1.6 percentage points), and 8.2% relied on a cellular data plan alone. A satellite subscription was reported by 7.4% (±2.5 percentage points), tied for 52nd highest³ among large cities. These are survey estimates of households, while the FCC figures count locations on one date.
