What is the best internet provider in San Jose?

Xfinity - High speeds widely available
EarthLink - Multiple service types available
AT&T - Great value
Verizon Home Internet - Fast upload and download speeds
Viasat - Widely available

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 2,000 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.

What is the fastest internet provider in San Jose?

Sonic is the fastest internet service provider (ISP) in San Jose with fiber internet speeds as high as 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps), which is incredible but overkill for most households. Other good options for high-speed fiber-optic internet in San Jose are AT&T and EarthLink.

San Jose has great cable internet options as well, like Xfinity. Despite being a cable internet provider, Xfinity performed very well in our fastest internet providers in 2022 analysis, scoring ahead of several fiber ISPs.

T-Mobile Home Internet is the highest-rated provider in San Jose, according to our annual customer satisfaction survey. T-Mobile’s 5G home internet received higher ratings than any other national ISP, especially when it comes to price satisfaction, where T-Mobile received the highest ratings in the history of our survey. T-Mobile’s pricing is second to none when it comes to simplicity and value; everything’s included for a flat $50 per month.

San Jose’s primary cable ISPs, Xfinity and Spectrum, both received great ratings for internet speed, but Xfinity has the edge with the top speed ratings for the second year in a row.

Many of the internet providers available in San Jose are smaller, regional ISPs and are not represented in our survey. So if you’re looking for great service locally, our tip is to go with a fiber internet service. On average, customers with fiber-optic internet report higher satisfaction with their internet service compared to customers using DSL or cable internet.

“I have been with AT&T for a couple of years now. Their customer service, sales, installers, etc. have all been great in meeting and exceeding my expectations.”

–Julie T.

“Xfinity was great, I loved the speed and they always seemed to be increasing the speed free of charge. The price is very expensive.”

–Cole J.

“Frontier internet service is consistently good. We have a connection thru our cable. Speed is very good, however, sometimes when streaming movies through Netflix or Amazon Prime, there is a delay with the audio.”

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
