What is the best internet provider in San Jose?

AT&T - Great value
Spectrum - No data caps
Xfinity - High speeds widely available
EarthLink - Multiple service types available
Frontier - No-contract plans available
HughesNet - Perfect for rural areas
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.
