What is the best internet provider in Westwood?

Spectrum is the best internet provider in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. It’s also the best provider in the sister neighborhoods of Brentwood and Sawtelle, all near UCLA campus. Spectrum gets you fast speeds, and its prices are reasonable. Plus, you get unlimited data and can cancel any time since there are no annual contracts.

You can also find Frontier, Starry Internet, and EarthLink in Westwood. Frontier is a solid option if you’re looking for a fiber internet plan—you get faster speeds than Spectrum for a similar price. Its availability is more limited than Spectrum, though, which is why it’s in second place.

Starry Internet is an awesome pick if you’re looking for budget internet—its fixed wireless service costs under $50 a month and delivers solid speeds and unlimited data.

EarthLink uses Frontier’s network and provides a mix of fiber and DSL internet in the area. If you’re on DSL, speeds are relatively slow and prices are high for what you get. But the fiber plans are just as good as what Frontier has to offer. And EarthLink’s customer service is excellent, earning the provider top ratings in our annual satisfaction survey.

Frontier—Affordable fiber and multigigabit speeds
EarthLink—Low-priced DSL options
Starry Internet—Solid speeds for a cheap price

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is also available in parts of Westwood, making for a great alternate cost-saving option with a similar fixed wireless connection as Starry Internet. You don’t pay extra fees for installation or equipment, and you get unlimited data.

Frontier is the fastest internet provider in Westwood, delivering upload and download speeds of 5,000 Mbps on its fastest plan. EarthLink, which uses Frontier’s fiber infrastructure, has a 2,000 Mbps plan available in parts of Westwood.

Most internet users don’t need speeds that fast—if you really need speed, you can do just fine with a gigabit plan from Frontier, EarthLink, or Spectrum. They all cost less than $100 per month and deliver exceptional speeds capable of supporting large households and lots of streaming, gaming, Zoom calls, and smart devices at once.

Aim to get a fiber plan from Frontier or EarthLink for gigabit upload speeds. Otherwise, you’re stuck with relatively slow uploads over Spectrum’s cable connection—although many netizens don’t notice much of a difference since we generally download a lot more than we upload.

Starry Internet is the cheapest internet in Westwood. Starry costs just $30 a month and gives you solid speeds of up to 200 Mbps, making it a great deal for a small or medium-sized household with three or four people. You might get wobbly speeds, since it works over a fixed wireless cellular connection. But you can’t find internet cheaper than Starry anywhere in Los Angeles.

For a more robust connection, try to get Frontier’s Fiber Internet 500 plan. This plan works over a fiber connection and gives you stupendous 500 Mbps speeds—that’s incredibly fast and way better than what you can normally get for $50 a month. Just make sure not to mistake this plan with Frontier’s DSL plan, which is a lot slower and not worth the money.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet uses similar tech as Starry. It’s also a great option for budget-conscious Angelenos—you get unlimited data, you don’t have to pay extra for installation or equipment, and you can cancel any time without incurring early termination fees.
