Frontier Fiber Plans Available in Reno

Frontier Fiber delivers three internet tiers to Reno, NV households, all built on true fiber-to-the-home technology with symmetrical upload and download speeds. Unlike cable internet where your upload is typically a tenth or less of your download speed, Frontier Fiber ensures your connection is equally fast in both directions. This makes a tangible difference for video conferencing, cloud storage, online collaboration, live streaming, and any activity that requires sending data upstream.

Plan	Download Speed	Upload Speed	Monthly Price	Data Cap	Contract
Fiber 500	500 Mbps	500 Mbps	$49.99/mo	None	None
Fiber 1 Gig	1,000 Mbps	1,000 Mbps	$74.99/mo	None	None
Fiber 2 Gig	2,000 Mbps	2,000 Mbps	$149.99/mo	None	None

The Fiber 500 plan at $49.99 handles the needs of most Reno households with ease — simultaneous 4K streaming, Zoom meetings, online gaming, and smart home devices all run smoothly on 500 Mbps of symmetrical bandwidth. The 1 Gig plan at $74.99 doubles that capacity for larger families or homes with multiple remote workers, and the 2 Gig plan at $149.99 provides the ultimate speed tier for power users, content creators, and professional-grade home networks.

Reno has become a hub for technology companies and remote workers drawn to the area by Nevada's favorable tax environment, outdoor lifestyle, and proximity to Lake Tahoe. For this growing tech-savvy population, Frontier Fiber's symmetrical speeds and contract-free structure are especially appealing. There are no data caps to worry about and no surprise price increases after an introductory period.

Frontier Fiber Coverage in Reno

Reno, Nevada's third-largest city with approximately 264,165 residents, has experienced significant growth driven by the expansion of the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, Tesla's Gigafactory, and a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating to northern Nevada. This growth has been accompanied by residential development across the Truckee Meadows, and Frontier has been building fiber infrastructure to serve the region's expanding broadband needs.

Frontier Fiber coverage in Reno uses fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology, delivering a dedicated fiber-optic connection from the network directly to your residence. This dedicated architecture provides performance advantages over the shared cable networks used by Spectrum and other cable providers in the area — particularly during peak usage hours when cable bandwidth gets divided among many users in the same neighborhood.

Availability varies across Reno's neighborhoods. Areas with existing Frontier infrastructure, including neighborhoods in south Reno, midtown, and portions of northwest Reno near the university district, have seen fiber deployment. Newer developments in the Spanish Springs and Damonte Ranch areas are also part of Frontier's expansion plans. As the company continues investing in its Nevada fiber network, new Reno addresses are being connected regularly.

How Frontier Fiber Compares to Other Reno Providers

Reno's broadband landscape includes several competing providers. Here is how Frontier Fiber compares to the most common alternatives available to Reno residents: Spectrum, AT&T, and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

Frontier Fiber vs. Spectrum

Spectrum is one of the most widely available internet providers in the Reno area, offering cable internet with download speeds from 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Spectrum's cable plans do not have data caps, which is a notable advantage over some cable competitors. However, Spectrum's upload speeds are severely limited at 10 to 35 Mbps across its tiers — a fraction of what Frontier Fiber delivers. During peak evening hours, Spectrum's shared cable network can also experience congestion, reducing real-world speeds below the advertised rates. Frontier Fiber's dedicated connection and symmetrical speeds make it the technically superior option wherever both are available. Compare the details in our Frontier Fiber vs. Spectrum analysis.

Frontier Fiber vs. AT&T

AT&T serves parts of the Reno metro area with a combination of fiber and DSL service. Where AT&T Fiber is deployed, it offers a similar symmetrical fiber experience to Frontier. However, AT&T Fiber availability in Reno is limited, and many addresses only have access to AT&T's slower DSL tiers with speeds ranging from 10 to 100 Mbps. AT&T's fiber plans also tend to include promotional pricing that increases after the first year. If you are comparing both fiber options, check the post-promotional pricing carefully. See our Frontier Fiber vs. AT&T comparison for a full breakdown.

Frontier Fiber vs. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has gained traction in Reno as a $50-per-month fixed wireless alternative with no contracts and typical speeds of 72 to 245 Mbps. The service works well in areas with strong 5G coverage and can be set up without a technician visit. However, T-Mobile's speeds are variable — they depend on tower proximity, signal conditions, and how many other users share the same cell site. In a growing metro like Reno where T-Mobile towers can become congested, performance is less predictable than a wired fiber connection. For users who need consistent, high-speed internet for work or multiple simultaneous activities, Frontier Fiber is the more reliable choice.

Frontier Fiber Installation in Reno

Installing Frontier Fiber at your Reno home requires a scheduled technician visit that typically takes two to four hours. The technician will route a fiber-optic cable from the nearest distribution point to your residence and install an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) on an exterior wall, usually near your garage or main utility panel. Inside, the included Wi-Fi router is connected and configured.

Reno's varied geography and housing stock — from older homes near the university district and midtown to newer construction in Damonte Ranch, Double Diamond, and the Somersett communities in northwest Reno — means installation experiences can differ. Homes in newer developments often have pre-installed conduit that simplifies the fiber run, while older Reno homes may require the technician to find creative routing solutions. Frontier's installation teams are experienced with all types of residential setups found across the Truckee Meadows.

Reno's high-desert climate actually benefits fiber installation — the mild, dry conditions reduce weather-related scheduling delays that can be common in wetter climates. Standard installation is typically free for new Frontier Fiber customers. Call 1-855-981-6281 to schedule your installation and choose an available appointment window.

Is Frontier Fiber Worth It in Reno?

Reno has transformed from a casino-centric economy to a thriving technology and logistics hub, and its internet infrastructure needs have grown accordingly. For the city's expanding population of tech workers, remote employees, entrepreneurs, and digital creatives, Frontier Fiber delivers the kind of connectivity that matches Reno's forward trajectory.

The Fiber 500 plan at $49.99 per month is the most practical choice for most Reno households. It provides more than enough bandwidth for families with multiple devices, delivers symmetrical speeds that cable providers in the area simply cannot match on the upload side, and comes with no data caps or contracts. The 1 Gig plan at $74.99 is a smart upgrade for households with heavy bandwidth demands or multiple remote workers, and the 2 Gig plan at $149.99 is there for those who need the absolute maximum.

For outdoor enthusiasts who work remotely from Reno to enjoy proximity to Lake Tahoe, Mount Rose, and the Sierra Nevada, reliable high-speed internet is not optional — it is what makes the Reno lifestyle possible. Frontier Fiber's consistent performance and no-hassle pricing structure make it an ideal fit for this community.

If Frontier Fiber is available at your Reno address, it is very likely the best internet value available to you today.
