Best Internet Providers in Los Angeles, CA

The best home internet service in Los Angeles is AT&T Fiber. AT&T’s fiber-optic home internet offering offers lightning-fast speeds up to 5 Gbps (though you may not even need that much — AT&T Fiber’s other plans, which start at up to 300 Mbps, are worth considering as well). Internet-only plans with AT&T Fiber start at $55 per month and go up from there.

If fiber isn’t for you — or if AT&T Fiber isn’t available in your neighborhood of Los Angeles — you’ll want to consider cable internet next. Cable internet isn’t quite as state-of-the-art as fiber internet, but it’s still plenty fast enough for most households, and should be fairly reliable. In Los Angeles, cable internet means Spectrum, the cable giant that serves 92.6% of the city. Spectrum offers internet only plans from $50 per month up to $70 per month, and its bundles start at $30 per month. Those bundles allow you to combined Spectrum Internet® with other Spectrum products, like Spectrum TV®, Spectrum Voice, and Spectrum Mobile.

Many of top Los Angeles’ internet providers are offering discount deals and special offers this month. AT&T Fiber customers can get up to six months of service free when they add an unlimited wireless line (speeds up to 1 Gbps), not to mention up to $150 in Visa Reward Cards. If you choose to go with Spectrum instead, you could get a free Xumo Stream Box when you purchase Spectrum TV, as well as Advanced WiFi when you subscribe to the Spectrum Internet Gig plan. However, these deals change often, so check back regularly to make sure you get the best savings out of your ISP.

There are other internet options in Los Angeles, including AT&T Internet, which uses an IPBB connection (similar to DSL) instead of the fiber connection that AT&T Fiber uses. While AT&T Internet and some wireless internet options, like Starlink or T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, are decent options in some parts of the country. Since Los Angeles has high-speed fiber and cable internet options, we recommend that you focus on those.

Still, if you believe that your household is set up for wireless internet, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet offers speeds between 133 Mbps and 415 Mbps, which is more than enough to satisfy your online activities whether it’s taking video calls or streaming your favorite shows. With 5G technology, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet utilizes cell tower signals to send data to and from your gateway device in your home so you have access to the internet.

Fastest Internet Providers in Los Angeles, CA

AT&T is the fastest provider in Los Angeles, with speeds up to 5 Gbps.

Los Angeles has a couple of good high-speed internet providers. The fastest of all is AT&T Internet, which offers a top speed of up to 1 Gbps.

If you want internet that feels “fast,” you’re probably going to want at least 250 Mbps for a small household and at least 300-500 Mbps for a larger one. It’s certainly possible to get by with less — much less, if you have a small household and aren’t a big user of bandwidth-hogging activities like livestreaming — but if you want that lightning-fast feeling, you’ll want to get up into these speed ranges. If you can get 1 Gbps, that’s even better; after that, though, you can expect increases in speed to get harder to notice. Only the biggest internet power users need more than 1 Gbps.

Internet Availability in Los Angeles, CA

All over Los Angeles, you’re going to find two major internet service companies: AT&T and Spectrum. But that doesn’t mean that your options will be exactly the same everywhere. AT&T has two networks in Los Angeles, and they are not created equal. Their “AT&T Internet” product runs on a network that makes heavy use of DSL. The one you want is “AT&T Fiber,” which uses a fully fiber-optic network.

So where can you get AT&T Fiber? AT&T Fiber serves 18.9% of Los Angeles, and the weakest part of its network is in the Downtown LA area and in the parts of South Los Angeles that are closest to downtown. Head up north to Dodger Stadium, and things get a lot better: Echo Park and Silver Lake are very well served by AT&T Fiber.

Other AT&T Fiber hotspots include Laurel Canyon and some (but not all!) of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Mid-City and Crenshaw are good areas for AT&T Fiber, too, but Culver City and neighboring Santa Monica are relatively poorly served. Inglewood, as well as the parts of South Los Angeles that are closest to it, are better spots for AT&T Fiber.

As for cable internet, that one is simple: Spectrum covers 92.6% of Los Angeles. You’ll find it everywhere from the Hollywood Sign to LAX and in every place in between.
