Xfinity
Cable
Very broad 94134 footprint
Up to 2 Gbps reported
Xfinity is the most consistently documented wired provider in 94134.
FCC-derived data reports approximately 99.46% cable coverage, while
current ZIP-level provider data places Xfinity around 99.8% to 100%.
The differences are small compared with the overall finding: Xfinity's
cable plant reaches almost the entire ZIP in the datasets reviewed.
- Cable is the primary Xfinity technology reported in 94134.
- Current offerings reach multi-gigabit download tiers.
- Upload performance should be compared with available fiber plans.
- Building wiring and service records still determine final eligibility.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived 94134 data reports approximately 99.46% Xfinity cable
coverage. A newer ZIP-level provider source reports approximately
99.8% to 100%, reinforcing the finding that Xfinity has an unusually
broad wired footprint in this ZIP.
Astound Broadband
Cable
Substantial partial footprint
Up to 1.5 Gbps
Astound provides a second substantial cable network in 94134. One
FCC-derived dataset reports approximately 56.54% cable availability.
Other current provider data reports a smaller footprint. The difference
is best interpreted as a data-vintage and methodology issue rather than
evidence that Astound is either ZIP-wide or absent.
- Astound is primarily reported as a cable provider in 94134.
- Its footprint is materially smaller than Xfinity's.
- Current Bay Area offerings include plans up to 1.5 Gbps.
- Astound requires an address-level check before service can be confirmed.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived data reports approximately 56.54% Astound cable coverage
in 94134. Current Astound Bay Area information confirms the company's
local network and requires an address-level service check.
AT&T Fiber
Fiber
Meaningful 94134 footprint
Up to 5 Gbps
AT&T is important in 94134 because the ZIP-level data shows a genuine
fiber layer rather than only legacy AT&T DSL. One FCC-derived source
reports AT&T fiber availability at approximately 44.69%. AT&T's own
regional information also lists Brisbane and ZIP 94134 among locations
associated with fiber service. Because ZIP 94134 includes both San
Francisco and addresses close to the San Mateo County boundary, the
exact property remains the deciding factor.
- Fiber service can provide symmetric upload and download speeds where offered.
- AT&T currently advertises fiber tiers up to 5 Gbps where available.
- AT&T's broader ZIP-level presence includes more than fiber in some datasets.
- The address checker determines the actual technology and tier.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived 94134 data reports approximately 44.69% AT&T fiber
availability. AT&T's current regional information associates ZIP
94134 with fiber service in Brisbane and directs customers to
address-level availability verification.
Sonic
Fiber
94134 construction history
Up to 10 Gbps
Sonic deserves a separate treatment in 94134 because the local story
is one of network expansion rather than simply established ZIP-wide
coverage. Sonic says its San Francisco network is a wholly owned
10-Gigabit fiber network. Available FCC-derived ZIP data, however,
reports only approximately 2.82% active Sonic fiber coverage in 94134.
Sonic's own development discussion documented fiber construction in
the ZIP during 2025 and a revised construction-completion forecast
extending into 2026.
- Sonic uses fiber rather than the cable plant used by Xfinity and Astound.
- Current Sonic residential service can reach 10 Gbps where available.
- 94134 has documented Sonic construction activity.
- Construction activity should not be confused with completed service at every address.
Local evidence:
Sonic's San Francisco page describes its wholly owned 10-Gigabit
network. Sonic community development reports documented crews pulling
fiber in 94134 during 2025, while the available FCC-derived ZIP data
reports approximately 2.82% active Sonic coverage. The two facts are
consistent with an expanding network rather than ZIP-wide completed
coverage.
T-Mobile Home Internet
5G fixed wireless
94134 market presence
Capacity dependent
T-Mobile provides a wireless alternative to the established wired
networks in 94134. Current ZIP-level sources identify T-Mobile Home
Internet in the area, but reported coverage differs sharply between
datasets. That variation is a useful warning: fixed-wireless
availability is affected by address, network capacity and radio
conditions rather than simply by the presence of a tower somewhere
in the ZIP.
- No dedicated neighborhood cable or fiber drop is required.
- Eligibility can change with available network capacity.
- Performance depends on wireless conditions at the property.
- The provider's current address check should control the final result.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived 94134 data identifies T-Mobile fixed wireless at very high
reported availability, while another current ZIP source reports a
substantially lower percentage. Because the estimates disagree,
address-level verification is more meaningful than quoting one
percentage as a definitive coverage number.
Verizon 5G Home Internet
Fixed wireless
94134 presence
Address dependent
Verizon is another fixed-wireless option in 94134. The available
FCC-derived dataset reports approximately 66.48% Verizon fixed-wireless
coverage, while another current provider source reports a much smaller
footprint. This large difference illustrates why ZIP-level wireless
percentages should not be treated as live eligibility measurements.
- Service uses Verizon's wireless network rather than neighborhood cable plant.
- Coverage estimates vary significantly by source and reporting date.
- Signal and network capacity affect individual-address eligibility.
- Verizon's address checker is required for a current result.
Local evidence:
One FCC-derived 94134 dataset reports approximately 66.48% Verizon
fixed-wireless availability. Another current ZIP source reports a
substantially smaller percentage. The stable conclusion is local
Verizon presence, not a single reliable ZIP-wide eligibility rate.
Etheric Networks
Fixed wireless
Large reported local footprint
Up to 250 Mbps
Etheric Networks is notable in 94134 because it appears in the
FCC-derived ZIP data with approximately 80.64% reported fixed-wireless
availability. That makes it materially different from a provider that
is merely listed as serving San Francisco somewhere. The figure still
represents reported availability rather than a guarantee that an
individual building can be connected.
- Fixed wireless avoids dependence on the local cable plant.
- Reported maximum download speed reaches approximately 250 Mbps.
- Exact service can depend on equipment placement and network reach.
- Address verification is required before treating the service as available.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived 94134 data reports Etheric Networks at approximately
80.64% fixed-wireless availability. This makes Etheric one of the
more significant non-wired networks in the ZIP-level data reviewed.
Unwired
Fixed wireless
Broad reported footprint
Up to 300 Mbps
Unwired is another established fixed-wireless option appearing in
the 94134 broadband data. The FCC-derived dataset reports approximately
63.30% availability. Because fixed-wireless service depends on
network conditions and the physical characteristics of the property,
this should be treated as a local availability indicator rather than
a promise of service at every address.
- Wireless delivery differs from the cable and fiber networks in the ZIP.
- Reported maximum download capacity reaches approximately 300 Mbps.
- Property-specific conditions can affect eligibility.
- The current provider service check should be used for final verification.
Local evidence:
FCC-derived 94134 data reports Unwired fixed-wireless availability
at approximately 63.30%, establishing a meaningful local footprint
in addition to the major wired networks.
