Fiber internet providers in San Jose

 

What is the best internet provider in San Jose?

Xfinity and AT&T are the best internet providers in San Jose, CA. Both ISPs offer gigabit speeds in most areas of the city, with Xfinity topping out at 1,200 Mbps and AT&T hitting top speeds of 5,000 Mbps. With AT&T, you might get stuck with slower DSL internet in certain neighborhoods, but most of the city has access to AT&T fiber internet.

The shared downside to AT&T and Xfinity is that both lock you into contracts. Xfinity internet can also be a little pricey, especially for its top speeds. AT&T has better prices for the fastest plans, but its starting prices are higher for basic internet.

Devin S | 03-21-2023

For the price of $40 a month you can get gigabit internet,(like actually 1000 mbits up and down, round the clock). This makes Xfinitys 60 dollars 200 mbit plan just look silly. The installation team is incredibly friendly and understanding, and they will set you up for whatever you need. They have a phone service, but they won't try to upsell you on it, and its super easy to take it off if you don't want it.
