Is Sky Fiber offered in Storey County? What the records show

Sky Fiber Internet told the FCC in June 2021 it could serve at least one location in 76 census blocks in Storey County with terrestrial fixed wireless, not a statement about any address. Your address is the real test: try the FCC National Broadband Map, Sky Fiber or High Desert.

Here is the dated record for Sky Fiber in Storey County as of October 15, 2026, followed by a plain comparison with High Desert's tower-based fixed wireless and the ways to check a real address.

What is on file for Sky Fiber in Storey County?

Look up Storey County in the June 2021 Form 477 data and Sky Fiber Internet appears with terrestrial fixed wireless in 76 census blocks, reporting maximums of up to 100 Mbps down and up to 100 Mbps up. Counting every row in the extract for Storey County, 8 of the 15 report more census blocks than Sky Fiber's largest row and 6 report fewer.

A census block is the smallest unit on the Census Bureau's map, and Storey County has about 1,892 households (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002), so a block count shows where a Sky Fiber filing touched the map and not how many homes it reached.

The 2021 record cannot tell you whether Sky Fiber reaches your address today. A census block counts as filed when one location in it could be served, the Storey County data stopped with the June 2021 filing, and the FCC then replaced it with its FCC National Broadband Map, the dated place to look now. Read more about the filing behind this Sky Fiber page in the glossary entry on FCC Form 477.

What does Sky Fiber's site say, read on October 15, 2026?

Sky Fiber's address check is its Check Availability page, and it lists 775-284-9434 and sales@skyfiberinternet.com for contact, worth holding against any Storey County quote. Sky Fiber lists a Reno office on Double Diamond Parkway and does not state phone hours on the pages read, and nothing on it is specific to Storey County unless stated.

Sky Fiber's residential page, read October 15, 2026, lists four tiers priced from $49 a month to $99 a month, with the top tier worded as up to 500 Mbps download, noted here for readers in Storey County.

Sky Fiber words its area as across Nevada and lists no towns on the pages read, so it names no Storey County place that this page can quote. So the place to settle Sky Fiber in Storey County is an address, not a county.

What is different about High Desert's fixed wireless in Storey County?

High Desert Internet, open since August 2002 by its own account, sends fixed wireless from towers to the home, in Storey County as in its other five counties. For a Storey County address, nothing is promised until someone has looked at the path from the nearest tower. The plan cards below carry its three published prices for a Storey County home weighing Sky Fiber; the company's own words are no contracts.

For the full side-by-side on prices and terms, see High Desert vs Sky Fiber, and for the technology behind the difference, fixed wireless vs fiber.

  • If Sky Fiber fits a Storey County home: You are near Reno and want a Reno-based operator for home or for a small business.
  • If Sky Fiber fits a Storey County home: You want a low entry price, such as the $49 a month Sky Fiber lists for its first tier (read 10/15/26), with no contract.
  • If High Desert fits a Storey County home: You want upload speeds listed at up to 200 Mbps on every plan.
  • If High Desert fits a Storey County home: You want a second tower company to compare against, since each one checks a different path from a different tower.

How do Storey County homes get online, and where would Sky Fiber fit?

In Storey County, 66.8% of households report broadband such as cable, fiber optic or DSL, against 76.6% for Nevada, and 4.1% (about 78 households) report no internet access at all, against 5.3% for the state (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002), which is the backdrop for Sky Fiber. The ACS has no fixed-wireless line, so a Storey County home on a tower link is counted under cable, fiber, DSL or another type, a point to keep in mind before reading Sky Fiber's own figures against the table.

Housing in Storey County, and that is the context for Sky Fiber: 19% of housing units are mobile homes, against 5.2% for Nevada, 96.1% of homes are owner-occupied and the median home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, tables B25024, B25003 and B25035). Those Storey County figures say nothing about any one road, which is why this Sky Fiber page sends you to an address check.

How can I check one Storey County address?

To check one house in Storey County, run the address through the Check Availability page on skyfiberinternet.com, then through the FCC National Broadband Map, and then send it to High Desert on the address check. A phone call to 775-575-9593 does the same for a Storey County address. Where Sky Fiber and High Desert differ, believe the company that has looked at the roof.

What is the next step?

Send High Desert the Storey County address and a person studies the path from the nearest tower to the roof, then calls you. Until that call there is no promise either way for a Storey County home, and you can also ring 775-575-9593 between 9 and 5 any day.

What does current FCC data (December 31, 2025) show for Sky Fiber in Storey County?

As of the December 31, 2025 Broadband Data Collection (FCC files read October 16, 2026), no row under the name Sky Fiber appears for Storey 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 Storey County settles nothing; ask Sky Fiber which name it reports under.

Across every filer in Storey County, Sky Fiber among them, at least one company reported a fixed wireless tier of 100/20 or better at 2,277 of the 2,278 locations on the map, and a cable, fiber or DSL tier at that level at 886. At 1,391 locations, in the same files that list Sky Fiber, a fixed wireless filing was the only land-based 100/20 option listed. For Storey County the FCC counts broadband serviceable locations, which are buildings, not households or customers, and each row, Sky Fiber's included, is the provider's own report. The files list Sky Fiber but say nothing about High Desert's own towers, and a Storey County address is checked one roof at a time.

Straight answers

Questions people ask

Still have a question? Call 775-575-9593, 9 to 5 every day.

Did Sky Fiber file with the FCC for Storey County in 2021?

Yes. In June 2021, Sky Fiber Internet reported to the FCC (Form 477, historical) that it could serve at least one location in 76 census blocks in Storey County with terrestrial fixed wireless. That is a footprint Sky Fiber left on the map of Storey County and not a promise about any address there.

Does Sky Fiber name places in Storey County on its site?

In Storey County's case: not by town. Sky Fiber words its area as across Nevada and lists no towns on the pages read, and nothing more specific to Storey County than that was found on Sky Fiber's pages.

How does High Desert compare with Sky Fiber for a Storey County home?

High Desert is a tower-to-roof fixed wireless service with its three published prices on the plan cards on this Storey County page, while Sky Fiber works differently, so an address check on each is the fair comparison for a Storey County home.
