Our methodology
We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.
For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 400 Mbps plan got a 4.16.
We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

AT&T: Fastest speeds
AT&T offers speeds as fast as 4,700 Mbps in Los Angeles, which is one of the fastest internet plans you’ll find anywhere in the country. Most people don’t need anywhere near that much bandwidth, but AT&T’s cheapest plan starts at a blazing-fast 300 Mbps, too.
AT&T ranked highest in customer satisfaction in the West in 2022, according to the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction Study. AT&T also plans to expand its fiber footprint in the coming years through a new joint venture called Gigapower.
Why LA loves AT&T
AT&T ranks highest in the region for customer satisfaction.
There is a wide range of internet speeds to choose from, with speeds as high as 4,700 Mbps with fiber-optic internet.
Things to consider
AT&T fiber-optic internet isn’t available in all locations, and its DSL internet plans are less reliable.
Plans available on 3rd Avenue:
300 – 500 Mbps, starting at $55.00/mo.
Frontier: Cheapest fiber plans
Frontier’s starting prices are the most affordable of any major internet provider in Los Angeles. Frontier also offers unlimited data, meaning you don’t pay extra for going over your limit, and you won’t experience throttling.
In early 2023, Frontier launched its new Fiber 5 Gig plan, its fastest plan to date. Designed for gaming, Fiber 5 Gig has low latency and less data loss than cable internet. Frontier plans to expand Fiber 5 Gig throughout its entire fiber footprint.
Why LA loves Frontier
There are no data caps, meaning you have unlimited internet service.
Frontier Fiber offers speeds from 500 to 5,000 Mbps
Things to consider
Frontier’s fiber internet is only available in certain service areas and may not be offered at your home.

Local feedback: Frontier
Eligio F. of Los Angeles County uses Frontier Fiber 50/50 Mbps. He is the only person using the internet in his household but works from home and performs many data-driven internet activities along with video streaming and single-player gaming. Eligio is happy with the speed and reliability of his plan and likes that there are no data caps, but wishes the price would decrease in the future. “I give it an 8 out of 10. Their customer service and appointment availability could use improvement,” he said.

Spectrum: Highest availability
Spectrum is one of the most widely available internet service providers, with plans available just about everywhere. In LA, Spectrum’s internet speeds range from 300 to 1,000 Mbps.
Spectrum has recently launched a multi-million dollar rural broadband expansion initiative to build out its broadband network to over one million unserved customers. This expansion project is part of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF), an FCC initiative focused on bridging the digital divide.
Why LA loves Spectrum
Spectrum has speeds up to 1,000 Mbps.
Spectrum doesn’t require contracts, meaning you can cancel any time with no early termination fee.
Things to consider

Starry Internet: Simple pricing
If shopping for internet gives you a headache, Starry is the provider for you. It only has one plan to choose from, and all taxes, fees, and equipment costs are included in that price.
Starry plans to focus its resources and expansion efforts in five core urban markets: Boston, New York City, Denver, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. Starry will be focused on expanding its customer base within these cities and has pulled out of other markets, like Columbus, to do so.
Why LA loves Starry
With no hidden fees, no router fees and no contracts, you won’t have to worry about surprises on your bill.
Starry has both fast download and upload speeds.
Things to consider
It’s only available in buildings that are set up to receive service and some residential homes.
With only one plan and no TV or phone service, there aren’t any ways to upgrade your Starry package.
