Our Story

Lit San Leandro exists to offer state-of-the-art fiber-optic internet connections to businesses that work as fast as they do.

Like you, we were frustrated by slow internet connections. So in 2012, San Leandro Dark Fiber LLC pulled a fiber optic loop to support the business community here in San Leandro and its economic development.

Lit San Leandro, LLCowns and operates the network that brings lightning-fast internet access to our business community.

We are committed to creating affordable options so every business can experience reliable and fast internet. Businesses can be confident that the internet will work and it will be fast.
