Internet providers in Silver Lake LA, CA

What is the best internet provider in Silver Lake, Los Angeles?

AT&T is our pick as the best internet provider in Silver Lake—so long as you can get AT&T’s fiber service. AT&T offers both DSL and fiber internet, but fiber (which is available in parts of Silver Lake) is the much better option because it gives you incredibly fast speeds at an affordable price. AT&T doesn’t have data caps or contracts on its plans and the provider got solid ratings in our annual customer satisfaction survey.

Spectrum is another great provider in Silver Lake and other nearby parts of Los Angeles. Widely available and affordable, Spectrum gives you lots of options over a cable connection, with speeds starting at a swift 300 Mbps. Spectrum gives you unlimited data, just like AT&T, and you’re more likely to find a gigabit plan from Spectrum than you would from AT&T fiber.

You can also find EarthLink in Silver Lake. The company—which performs excellently in our satisfaction survey—gives you similar plan options to AT&T, since it uses AT&T’s fiber and DSL infrastructure.

AT&T—awesome fiber but subpar DSL
Spectrum—reliable cable with gigabit speeds
T-Mobile 5G Home Internet—budget-friendly prices and easy signup

If you’re looking for a budget option, consider Verizon 5G Home Internet or T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. These services both work over 5G (and sometimes 4G LTE) wireless connections, and both providers make it really easy to sign up by offering fast speeds, low prices, unlimited data, and no fees for installation or equipment.

Not everyone needs 1,000 Mbps speeds, but it’s ideal for big families, apartments with lots of roommates, and influencer mansions.

Our best picks for low-cost internet options in Silver Lake are Verizon 5G Home Internet and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

These are both relatively new types of services that get you internet over a 5G fixed wireless connection—which makes it a bit more unstable than a cable or fiber plan, more akin to the internet you get on your phone. But the speeds in general are solid and Verizon and T-Mobile have been pulling out all the stops to win over customers.

On these plans, you don’t have to worry about misleading “promo” prices or extra fees for things like installation and equipment. You don’t have to worry about data caps or contracts. You pay a flat fee every month and that’s it. Even better, if you have a qualifying Verizon phone plan, you can get 50% off on your 5G Home Internet plan.

T-Mobile—which got some of the best ratings in our annual customer satisfaction survey—has some tantalizing bundle deals too, including the chance to get a discount on your service when you sign up for a Magenta MAX family plan.
