What is the best internet provider in Los Angeles?

CNET’s top internet provider recommendation for Los Angeles is Fibră AT&T. With 78% coverage across the city, it stands out for delivering solid median download speeds, no contracts and included equipment which is a rare combination for fiber internet. It’s the best blend of performance and reliability for most Angelenos.

If you’re looking to spend less and happen to live in Frontier’s service area, its $30 fiber plan with symmetrical 200Mbps speeds is worth a serious look. Sonic Telecom is another provider we think deserves attention. It offers some of the fastest speeds in Los Angeles with speeds up to 10,000Mbps available at an extremely competitive $50 a month. If it’s available at your address, it could be one of the best internet values in the city.

Other available internet providers in Los Angeles

• Cox Communications: Although it’s one of the country’s biggest cable internet providers, Cox has a relatively small footprint in the Los Angeles metro area. It’s solely available in the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Plans start at $30 per month for 100Mbps download and go up to $150 a month for its 2-gigabit option. 
• Sonic Telecom: This ISP is mainly known for offering service in the Bay Area. Angelenos can find Sonic service in a handful of neighborhoods, including Beverly Hills, Glendale, Inglewood, Pasadena and West Hollywood. Although Sonic is known for building 100% fiber networks, much of its offering in the LA market is older DSL, and most of its fiber service in the area currently utilizes AT&T’s fiber network.
• T-Mobile 5G Home Internet: T-Mobile’s fixed wireless home internet service uses its 5G and 4G LTE networks to get customers online at an average download speed between 87 and 415Mbps. It’s appealing for its simplicity: $50 a month covers all equipment, taxes, installation fees and services. Get faster speeds at $60 a month. For $70 a month, you can include a Mesh Access Point and a Wi-Fi Gateway for more reliable speeds throughout the house. There are no data caps and no contracts required. Although technically available throughout the Los Angeles metro area, you must plug in your address on the T-Mobile site to see if you’re serviceable.
• Internet 5G de acasă Verizon: Like T-Mobile, this is a fixed wireless home internet option. Verizon’s average download speeds are around 250Mbps. It also features an all-in price that covers taxes, installation fees and equipment but splits the cost into two buckets: $50 a month or $70 a month and additional perks.

How fast is Los Angeles broadband?

Los Angeles isn’t among the top 50 fastest cities in the US, ranking at 78. A big reason is that 100% fiber connections are not yet as prevalent as cable and DSL connections in the city. Major efforts by AT&T (making its Fiber 2000 and Fiber 5000 plans more widely available) and Frontier (whose 2- and 5-gigabit plans are now available for all locations serviceable for its fiber offerings) should help boost those stats.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Los Angeles

Furnizorii de servicii de internet sunt numeroși și regionali. Spre deosebire de cele mai recente smartphone, laptop, router sau ustensile de bucătărie, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. What’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information, drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.

It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes. All information provided is accurate as of publication. 

Odată ce avem aceste informații localizate, ne punem trei întrebări principale: 

• Furnizorul oferă acces la viteze rezonabile de internet? 
• Clienții primesc o valoare decentă pentru ceea ce plătesc? 
• Sunt clienții mulțumiți de serviciile lor? 

The answers to those questions are often layered and complex, but the providers that come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla şi Rapoarte FCC(Dezvăluire: Ookla este deținută de aceeași companie-mamă ca și CNET, Ziff Davis.)

What’s the final word on internet providers in Los Angeles?

Spectrum is tough to beat among Los Angeles internet providers if you want consistent service and wide availability. Sonic is the fastest ISP in the city, but AT&T and Frontier’s fiber plans are also tough to beat. Overall, change is coming over the next few years in the City of Angels as providers like AT&T and Frontier move away from their older DSL lines (still prominent in the area) toward their growing fiber networks. Cable internet still rules in LA, but fiber is the future.
