California’s leading privately held 100% fiber provider invests over $200M in 25+ markets
San Francisco, CA. (March 26, 2026) – Race Communications, California’s leading privately held 100% fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) provider, is accelerating a major expansion across key regions of the state including San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Valley, San Diego County, and Southern California. Backed by an initial planned investment of more than $200 million, without the use of taxpayer dollars, the expansion will bring Race’s fiber deployments to more than 25 cities, including Bakersfield, Fresno, Atwater, Merced, Porterville, and Modesto, following recent successful launches in Lancaster, Ridgecrest, Chico, and Palmdale.
This expansion underscores the scale and speed of Race’s statewide growth. To-date, Race has invested more than $650 million in California’s fiber infrastructure with an active presence in over 50 markets. Focused on meeting the needs of Californians, Race is leading telecommunications and the next generation of connectivity across the state.
“No other provider is investing at this scale and pace. We have always believed that every Californian deserves access to world-class internet, not the slow, inconsistent service that big telecom has delivered for decades,” said Raul Alcaraz, Race Communications founder and CEO. “Our commitment to California is clear, and it’s not new. We have been serving Californians since 1994. We’re moving aggressively to make these expansions a reality because hundreds of thousands of Californians are done waiting for a better way to connect. And we intend to keep this promise.”
