Best Internet Providers in Fresno, CA

For the fastest and most reliable internet in Fresno, we’d recommend looking first to AT&T Fiber. AT&T Fiber is, as the name suggests, the fiber internet offering from AT&T. (AT&T also offers a DSL-based network branded as AT&T Internet, as well as a 5G home internet service called AT&T Internet Air.) Using a fiber-optic network allows AT&T Fiber to deliver speeds up to 5 Gbps, and it makes upload speeds just as fast as download speeds — something that’s not possible with cable or DSL. AT&T Fiber plans start at $55 per month.

Cable internet is widely available in Fresno, too, thanks to the presence of Xfinity. Xfinity offers cable internet plans in Fresno, and customers can choose to bundle those internet plans with other Xfinity services, such as Xfinity Home Security and Xfinity X1 television services. Bundle plans start at $55 per month.

Internet Availability in Fresno, California

Fresno residents have a few wired internet providers to choose from. Availability will depend on the neighborhood, but the major wired internet providers in the city are AT&T Fiber and Xfinity.

AT&T Fiber is available in 35.5% of the city. Its coverage zones are scattered, but one consistent area is east of the city center in the neighborhoods along East Ventura Street and East Butler Avenue — just before the Fresno County Fairgrounds. If you live anywhere along Fresno Street and Tulare Street near the city center, chances are you won’t have access to AT&T Fiber. An alternative option is AT&T’s IPBB service, which operates on a DSL network. It’s slower than fiber internet, but it has more accessibility and is available in most areas around the city center.

If you want cable internet, Xfinity is the better alternative to AT&T Fiber. It has 93.8% coverage in the city. If you live east of the city center, you’re bound to fall within Xfinity’s coverage zones. One of the few exceptions where Xfinity isn’t available is in the areas between East Florence Avenue and East Avenue, right next to Calwa Park. Still, it covers more areas than AT&T Fiber, especially if you work or live at the heart of the city.
