What the records show Sky Fiber Internet told the FCC in June 2021 it could serve at least one location in 206 census blocks in Lyon County with terrestrial fixed wireless, not a statement about any address.

[Photo credits](https://hdiss.net/photo-credits/) Written on October 15, 2026, this page reads two kinds of record for Sky Fiber in Lyon County, a 2021 FCC filing where there is one and the company's own site, and then compares High Desert's fixed wireless. ## What did Sky Fiber report to the FCC about Lyon County? The FCC's June 2021 file for Lyon County lists Sky Fiber Internet in 206 census blocks for terrestrial fixed wireless, with reported maximums of up to 100 Mbps down and up to 100 Mbps up. That is a filing Sky Fiber made about itself, and it is historical. Of the 24 provider-and-technology rows in the extract for Lyon County, 15 report more census blocks than this one and 8 report fewer. For scale, the Census Bureau counts about 23,745 households in Lyon County (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002), but the filing counted census blocks, not homes, so the Sky Fiber block figure is a footprint on a map and not a head count. What the record does not show for Sky Fiber in Lyon County is long: no street, no price, no speed measured at a home and nothing after June 2021. Use it as a history of what Sky Fiber reported, then read the [full 2021 provider table](https://hdiss.net/data/fcc-form-477-providers-2021/) and the [FCC National Broadband Map](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov) for today. ## What does current FCC data (December 31, 2025) show for Sky Fiber in Lyon County? Current FCC data (December 31, 2025, from the National Broadband Map download files read October 16, 2026): no row under the name Sky Fiber appears for Lyon County in the Nevada files. The FCC lists each provider under the name it files with, and Sky Fiber could file under a parent or legal name, so the absence of the brand name in Lyon County settles nothing; ask Sky Fiber which name it reports under. Every Lyon County number here, Sky Fiber's included, carries the FCC's caveat that a listed location is a provider's claim it could connect that building within ten business days, and the agency asks the public to challenge the map where that is wrong. With that said, Lyon County shows 20,949 of 25,827 locations with a wired 100/20 filing and 4,497 where only a fixed wireless filing reached 100/20; separately, 48 had no land-based filing at 25/3 or better, leaving satellite as the only reported option. A location in the Lyon County files is a building or unit where a provider says it could install service, not a household and not a subscriber, so these counts cannot be read as a share of Sky Fiber homes. None of this, the Sky Fiber rows included, describes High Desert's network; for a Lyon County home the address check is the test. ## What do the Census figures say about internet in Lyon County? Lyon County counts about 23,745 households in the Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates (table B28002), the base behind any Sky Fiber figure for the county. 12% of them, about 2,846, report a satellite subscription, against 7.6% for Nevada, and 14.8% report a cellular data plan as their only internet subscription, against 11.8% for the state, the background to read Sky Fiber against. Housing in Lyon County, which is the backdrop for Sky Fiber: 17.8% of housing units are mobile homes, against 5.2% for Nevada, 76.7% of homes are owner-occupied and the median home was built in 1998 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, tables B25024, B25003 and B25035). Those Lyon County figures say nothing about any one road, which is why this Sky Fiber page sends you to an address check. ## What does Sky Fiber say on its own site now? Sky Fiber says it provides internet across Nevada and lists no towns on the pages read, as read for this Lyon County page. Sky Fiber's installation, equipment and data details are not on the residential page read, which points to an Acceptable Usage page, a starting point for a Lyon County comparison. Sky Fiber's address check is its Check Availability page, and it lists 775-284-9434 and sales@skyfiberinternet.com for contact, recorded here for Lyon County readers. Sky Fiber words its area as across Nevada and lists no towns on the pages read, so it names no Lyon County place that this page can quote. That makes the address check, not a Lyon County town list, the real test for Sky Fiber. ## How would High Desert and Sky Fiber compare for a Lyon County home? In Lyon County, High Desert Internet works from towers to a roof antenna. It lists Lyon County among its six counties, and whether it reaches a particular house depends on a clear path, which a person checks for each address. For prices, read the plan cards below rather than this paragraph: three published plans, no contracts in the company's words, the same cards a Lyon County reader sees on every Sky Fiber page here. The company-level table is on [High Desert vs Sky Fiber](https://hdiss.net/compare/sky-fiber/); the technology comparison is [fixed wireless vs fiber](https://hdiss.net/compare/fixed-wireless-vs-fiber/). - If Sky Fiber fits a Lyon County home: You like a company that describes a hybrid of fiber and fixed wireless and publishes four tiers to step between. - If Sky Fiber fits a Lyon County home: You are near Reno and want a Reno-based operator for home or for a small business. - If High Desert fits a Lyon County home: You want three plans with the speeds up on the card, up to 500 Mbps, up to 800 Mbps and up to 1 Gig, and the same price whatever the address. - If High Desert fits a Lyon County home: You want upload speeds listed at up to 200 Mbps on every plan. ## How do I find out for my own Lyon County address? Three checks settle a Lyon County address. First, Sky Fiber's own tool: the Check Availability page on skyfiberinternet.com. Second, the [FCC National Broadband Map](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov), which shows what providers report at that Lyon County address today. Third, the High Desert [address check](https://hdiss.net/check-availability/) for the Lyon County address, or a call to 775-575-9593. ## What happens after I send the address? The next step with High Desert for a Lyon County home is an address. A person looks at the tower path to your Lyon County roof, then calls you back with a plain answer, yes, no or needs a closer look, which is a different kind of answer from Sky Fiber's checker. ### Sources - [skyfiberinternet.com/residential](https://www.skyfiberinternet.com/residential) (Sky Fiber residential plans, read 2026-10-15) - [skyfiberinternet.com/](https://www.skyfiberinternet.com/) (Sky Fiber home page, read 2026-10-15) - [opendata.fcc.gov/resource/jdr4-3q4p](https://opendata.fcc.gov/resource/jdr4-3q4p) (FCC Form 477, June 2021, historical) - [broadbandmap.fcc.gov](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov) (FCC National Broadband Map, read 2026-10-15) - [api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5) (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year, tables B28002 and B25024) - [hdiss.net/services/](https://hdiss.net/internet-plans/) (High Desert plan cards, read 2026-10-15) - [broadbandmap.fcc.gov/data-download/nationwide-data](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/data-download/nationwide-data) (FCC Broadband Data Collection, fixed broadband availability as of December 31, 2025, Nevada files dated October 13, 2026, read 2026-10-16) ### Talk to a person - Call [775-575-9593](tel:7755759593) [775-391-5660](tel:7753915660) Open 9-5 every day - Email [info@hdiss.net](mailto:info@hdiss.net) [Check my address](https://hdiss.net/check-availability/#check) ### Related - [High Desert vs Sky Fiber](https://hdiss.net/compare/sky-fiber/) - [Internet in Lyon County](https://hdiss.net/service-area/lyon-county/) - [Internet access in Lyon County, by the numbers](https://hdiss.net/data/lyon-county/) - [Who reported broadband service in each county in 2021 (FCC Form 477)](https://hdiss.net/data/fcc-form-477-providers-2021/) - [Check my address](https://hdiss.net/check-availability/) - [Fixed wireless vs fiber](https://hdiss.net/compare/fixed-wireless-vs-fiber/) - [Sky Fiber in Storey County: what the records show](https://hdiss.net/compare/sky-fiber/storey-county/) - [Net NV in Lyon County: what the records show](https://hdiss.net/compare/net-nv/lyon-county/) Local since 2002 Fixed wireless from towers in Northern Nevada.

How Lyon County gets online - Any internet subscription 93.7% - Cable, fiber, DSL (or fixed wireless) 71% - Satellite 12% - Phone data plan only 14.8% - No internet at home 4.5% U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002 (internet subscriptions), retrieved 2026-10-02. Households can report more than one type, so the shares do not add to 100. The ACS has no fixed-wireless line: those homes are counted under cable, fiber or DSL, or under other service. The thin mark on each bar is Nevada. ## Places in Lyon County [Lyon County Fernley](https://hdiss.net/service-area/fernley/) [Lyon County Dayton](https://hdiss.net/service-area/dayton/) [Lyon County Silver Springs](https://hdiss.net/service-area/silver-springs/) [Lyon County Yerington](https://hdiss.net/service-area/yerington/) [Lyon County Stagecoach](https://hdiss.net/service-area/stagecoach/) [Lyon County Smith Valley](https://hdiss.net/service-area/smith-valley/) [Lyon County Silver City with Dayton](https://hdiss.net/service-area/dayton/) [Lyon County Mound House](https://hdiss.net/service-area/mound-house/) Places High Desert works in.
