Internet Providers in Sacramento, California

The best internet provider in Sacramento is Fidium, according to our data. A local favorite, Fidium offers speedy fiber-optic internet to residents who live within its footprint, which covers about a quarter of Sacramento. It offers speeds up to 2 Gbps and receives good marks from customers for its pricing and customer service.

Hot on Fidium’s heels is AT&T Fiber, our other top recommendation in town. Our local speed test data confirms AT&T offers excellent speeds, which it advertises a range from 300 Mbps to 5 Gbps. That’s faster than most households would ever need, but AT&T Fiber is great about offering different plans with different speeds and prices. Those prices start at $55 per month and can go as high as $245 per month for standalone internet plans. These plans have no price hikes and don’t require a contract. AT&T Fiber should be one of your top choices — if not the top choice — in Sacramento.

If neither of these two fiber internet providers is available in your area of Sacramento, consider one of Sacramento’s other internet service companies. Our next-best pick is Xfinity, the area’s cable internet provider. While we don’t recommend cable as highly as we do fiber, it’s still an excellent internet service option and a huge step up from DSL and other connection types. Xfinity offers bundles that include internet, home phone (Xfinity Voice), mobile (Xfinity Mobile), home security (Xfinity Home Security) and TV (Xfinity StreamSaver or Xfinity X1) services that start at $55 per month and internet-only plans starting at $30 per month (high-end is $95 per month). Similar to AT&T Fiber, Xfinity plans don’t have price hikes, but they may require a contract depending on the plan. It’s well worth considering as you shop for an internet service provider in Sacramento.

Beyond these traditional internet providers is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. Offering speeds between 133 Mbps and 415 Mbps, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is a quick wireless internet solution with a price that starts at $60 per month. While it may not be as fast as its fiber and cable counterparts, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is a solid internet option without all the fees and fuss you’ll find with other companies.

New subscribers typically get deals to save more money when they sign up for an internet plan. For example, AT&T Fiber is known for offering promotions for its fiber internet plans. Currently, new customers have the chance to receive a Visa Reward Card of up to $150 when they sign up for a specific AT&T Fiber plan or get an extra 20 percent off on their internet service when they pair it with an unlimited wireless plan. T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is also offering a $150 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard when you sign up for its plans this month. These change often, so your best bet is to check back frequently for the latest deals and see if these apply to your plan by the time you sign up.
