# Is Starlink offered in Lyon County? What the records show

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the company behind Starlink) told the FCC in June 2021 it could serve at least one location in 1,173 census blocks in Lyon County with satellite, not a statement about any address. Check your address on the FCC National Broadband Map, with Starlink or with High Desert.

Everything on this Starlink page carries a date. The FCC filing is from June 2021, Starlink's site was read on October 15, 2026, and the Census figures are from the 2020-2024 estimates, all for Lyon County.

## What does the FCC data say about Starlink in Lyon County?

The FCC's June 2021 file for Lyon County lists Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the company behind Starlink) in 1,173 census blocks for satellite, with reported maximums of up to 100 Mbps down and up to 10 Mbps up. That is a filing Starlink made about itself, and it is historical. Of the 24 provider-and-technology rows in the extract for Lyon County, 6 report more census blocks than this one and 17 report fewer.

The block count cannot be turned into households: Lyon County has about 23,745 of them (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002), and a block counts as filed when one location in it could be served, whoever the filer, Starlink included.

The 2021 record cannot tell you whether Starlink reaches your address today. A census block counts as filed when one location in it could be served, the Lyon County data stopped with the June 2021 filing, and the FCC then replaced it with its [FCC National Broadband Map](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov), the dated place to look now. Read more about the filing behind this Starlink page in the glossary entry on [FCC Form 477](https://hdiss.net/glossary/fcc-form-477/).

## What does current FCC data (December 31, 2025) show for Starlink in Lyon County?

In the FCC's Broadband Data Collection filing as of December 31, 2025 (National Broadband Map files dated October 13, 2026, read October 16, 2026), Starlink reported low-orbit satellite at 25,827 locations, top tier up to 280 Mbps down and up to 30 Mbps up in Lyon County. Every one of the Starlink rows in Lyon County was filed at 100/20 or better. The low-latency flag is on for the Starlink rows in Lyon County. Lyon County's total on the map is 25,827 locations, against which the Starlink rows are counted.

Lyon County has 25,827 broadband serviceable locations on the December 2025 map, the base any Starlink figure sits in. Wired filers (cable, fiber and copper) listed 100/20 at 20,949 of them; 10 companies filed fixed wireless there, at 100/20 or better for 25,014. Where only a tower filing offered 100/20 and no wire did, the count was 4,497 for anyone weighing Starlink; separately, 48 had no land-based filing at 25/3 or better, leaving satellite as the only reported option. These are provider filings about Lyon County buildings where service could be installed on request, and the FCC itself says the map can be wrong for a given address, Starlink rows included, and takes challenges. High Desert is not part of this count the way Starlink is, which is why a Lyon County address gets a person's check rather than a map lookup.

## How do Lyon County homes get online, and where would Starlink fit?

In Lyon County, 71% of households report broadband such as cable, fiber optic or DSL, against 76.6% for Nevada, and 4.5% (about 1,069 households) report no internet access at all, against 5.3% for the state (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B28002), the background to read Starlink against. The ACS has no fixed-wireless line, so a Lyon County home on a tower link is counted under cable, fiber, DSL or another type, a point to keep in mind before reading Starlink's own figures against the table.

Work and age in Lyon County, which is the backdrop for Starlink: 8.2% of workers work from home, against 11.9% for Nevada, 22.2% of residents are 65 or older, against 17%, and the mean commute is 29.4 minutes (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, tables B08301, B01001 and B08303). People in Lyon County who work from home lean on upload speed, and every High Desert plan is listed at up to 200 Mbps up, a figure to set beside what Starlink publishes.

## Where does High Desert fit next to Starlink in Lyon County?

The comparison for Lyon County starts with how the signal travels. High Desert uses a tower and an antenna on your roof, lists Lyon County among its six counties, and settles every address by looking at the path. 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 Starlink page here.

The company-level table is on [High Desert vs Starlink](https://hdiss.net/compare/starlink/); the technology comparison is [fixed wireless vs satellite](https://hdiss.net/compare/fixed-wireless-vs-satellite/).

- If Starlink fits a Lyon County home: You want a 30-day trial with a refund, which Starlink words on its home page.
- If Starlink fits a Lyon County home: You live where terrain blocks a tower path but not the sky above, such as a gully or a property on the back side of a hill.
- If High Desert fits a Lyon County home: A tower can see your roof, so a local radio link with a published price and no kit to buy is on the table, such as a ranch road near Dayton, Silver Springs or Smith Valley.
- If High Desert fits a Lyon County home: You like a technician coming to the home to look at the path and mount an antenna, rather than a box you place yourself.

## What does Starlink say on its own site now?

Starlink shows its hardware price only after an address is entered, so this page quotes none, as read for this Lyon County page. Starlink puts its address check on the home page and lists a phone line, (888) GO-STARLINK, a starting point for a Lyon County comparison.

Starlink lists an optional Starlink Mini kit with the Residential Max card, recorded here for Lyon County readers.

Starlink names no Nevada town on its home page, and its address check is the only place it tells a buyer about a specific location in Lyon County. That makes the address check, not a Lyon County town list, the real test for Starlink.

## What is the quickest address check for Starlink in Lyon County?

The answer for a Lyon County house comes from an address, not a county. Try the address check on the Starlink home page, or the phone line it lists, (888) GO-STARLINK, then the [FCC National Broadband Map](https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov) for the dated federal view, then the High Desert [address check](https://hdiss.net/check-availability/) or 775-575-9593. If the FCC map is wrong about your Lyon County home, [the challenge guide](https://hdiss.net/guides/challenge-the-fcc-map/) shows how to ask for a correction.

## What does High Desert do with my address?

After you send the Lyon County address through the High Desert form, someone checks the line from the closest tower to your roof and phones you with what they find. No order is placed and nothing is promised until then; Starlink's own check works the same way, by address.

Every speed is an up-to figure. What you see depends on the path from the tower to your roof, how many people are online and your Wi-Fi router. Each plan has a data transfer limit; ask us for yours at [info@hdiss.net](mailto:info@hdiss.net).

Ask about 1 Gig / 1 Gig.

Our ultra-low-latency service with upload as fast as download, in some areas. Check your address and tick "Ask about 1 Gig / 1 Gig" and we will tell you if your address can get it. [About the 1 Gig / 1 Gig service](https://hdiss.net/internet-plans/gig-symmetrical/).

Prices and speeds as published by High Desert Internet Services (hdiss.net, read 10/15/26). "Runs" lines use the FCC Household Broadband Guide and Broadband Speed Guide (fcc.gov), which the FCC calls rough guidelines; every High Desert plan is above the FCC's highest household band of more than 25 Mbps.

## Questions people ask

### Did Starlink file with the FCC for Lyon County in 2021?

Yes. In June 2021, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the company behind Starlink) reported to the FCC (Form 477, historical) that it could serve at least one location in 1,173 census blocks in Lyon County with satellite. That is a footprint Starlink left on the map of Lyon County and not a promise about any address there.

### Does Starlink name places in Lyon County on its site?

For Lyon County: not on the pages read. Starlink's home page carries an address check and a phone line, and it describes its 100 and 200 plans as offered in select areas, and nothing more specific to Lyon County than that was found on Starlink's pages.

### What does High Desert cost next to Starlink in Lyon County?

High Desert's three published monthly prices for Bronze, Silver and Gold are on the plan cards on this Lyon County page, and Starlink's are above. For Starlink, use the prices it published on the date read, and ask each company for the exact total at your Lyon County address.
