Internet in Vacaville, California

Who reports service in Vacaville

As of June 30, 2026 (FCC file revision of November 10, 2026), 8 companies report wired or fixed wireless internet somewhere inside Vacaville, whose city limits, as drawn for the 2020 Census, hold 31,247 homes and businesses. Only 2 of them use wires, a count tied for 2nd lowest¹ among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. For homes, the wired market is these two companies:

• Xfinity, cable, at 99.4% of locations, with a top advertised download of 2 Gbps;
• AT&T, at 93.6%: fiber at 18.6%¹ of locations, and copper DSL or fixed wireless at most of the rest.

The wireless list is longer. Cal.net reports fixed wireless at 99.6%¹ of locations, the widest reach of any terrestrial provider in the city, a fraction of a point ahead of Xfinity. Verizon, T-Mobile and unWired Broadband follow; Valley Internet and GeoLinks report service at small shares of the city. Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat report satellite everywhere.

A provider listed here says it could install service at a location within ten business days. The listings can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map, which is also where to check a single address.

Fiber at fewer than one address in five

Fiber reaches 18.6% of Vacaville's locations, the 13th lowest share among large US cities, against 47.8% across California and 62.6% nationally. 2 companies report fiber in the city, but AT&T accounts for nearly all of it. Because the fiber comes from one network, no address has a choice between two: the share with two or more fiber providers is 0.0%¹.

The share has moved slowly, from 15.8%² in June 2022 to 17.5%³ in December 2025 and 18.6% in June 2026. The four-year gain of 2.9 percentage points ranks 49th lowest¹ among large cities.

The single wire is Xfinity's at 69.8% of the city. AT&T's lines pass nearly as many addresses, but it offers 100/20 Mbps at only 30.2% of locations; its fiber covers 18.6%. Elsewhere AT&T's wired service is DSL over telephone copper, still reported at 76.4% of Vacaville's locations (tied for 37th highest¹ among large cities), down from 80.2%² in 2022.

Since 2022, the new competition is wireless

The number of wired providers is the same as in the FCC's first map, as of June 30, 2022: 2 then, 2 now. Wireless is where the list grew. Licensed fixed wireless at 100/20 Mbps, the category that includes 5G home internet, was reported at 1.0%² of Vacaville's locations in 2022. It reached 85.5%³ in December 2025 and stands at 81.1% in June 2026, the 39th highest share among large cities and above both California (56.1%) and the US (47.9%¹).

The companies behind the change:

• unWired Broadband reported no service in Vacaville in 2022. It now reports licensed fixed wireless at 19,516 locations (62.5%), at 100/20 Mbps across all of them, advertising up to 500 Mbps. It reports far wider service around the state capital: 96.4% of Sacramento's locations and 100.0% of Elk Grove's.
• Cal.net, which covered a small part of the city in 2022, now reports licensed and unlicensed fixed wireless at 99.6% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 99.6% and a top advertised download of 100 Mbps.
• Verizon roughly quadrupled its reported footprint to 75.8% of locations, though it advertises 100/20 Mbps at only 23.3%. T-Mobile reports 65.9%, with 100/20 at 19.2%¹.

Counting every terrestrial technology, wired and wireless, 84.8% of locations have three or more providers at 100/20 Mbps, against 7.0%² in 2022. Counting wires only, 29.6% have two or more. A radio link is not the same product as a cable: reported coverage depends on antenna sites and often on a clear line of sight, and capacity on each site is shared, so providers decide sign-ups address by address. At 186¹ locations fixed wireless is the only way to reach 100/20 Mbps.

Gigabit uploads without new fiber

One wired figure did jump. Service of 1,000/100 Mbps, the FCC's gigabit tier with fast uploads, was advertised at 15.8% of locations in June 2022 and at 93.6% in June 2026. Fiber grew by only 2.9 percentage points over the same years, so nearly all of that tier is now reported over Xfinity's cable. In 2022 the fastest advertised download at 85.8%² of locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps; today 2 Gbps or more is the top tier at 93.6%¹ of locations. These are providers' maximum advertised speeds, not measurements, and the FCC data contain no prices.

Nearly every household subscribes

The Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey counts households, not locations, and measures what they pay for rather than what is offered. In Vacaville, 97.7% of households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±1.5 percentage points), tied for 23rd highest among large cities by point estimate, and 2.1% had none (margin ±1.5 percentage points⁴). The five-year survey for 2020–2024, with a much larger sample, puts the subscription rate at 95.7% (margin ±0.8 percentage points⁵).

By type, 76.3% of households subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (margin ±3.3 percentage points) and 13.1% relied on a cellular data plan alone. A satellite subscription was reported by 11.1% of households, against 7.8% statewide; with a margin of ±3.7 percentage points⁴, the city cannot be said to differ from California. Households can report more than one type, so these shares overlap.

Vacaville and its region

Vacaville shares its wired pattern, one cable network and AT&T copper with some fiber, with Fairfield, and one of its main wireless providers, unWired Broadband, with Sacramento and Elk Grove. The California page maps every county, including Solano County.
