What is the best internet provider in Sacramento?
AT&T Fiber is CNET's top pick for the best internet service provider in Sacramento. It offers extensive coverage and fast speeds at competitive pricing. You'll get speeds up to 5,000 megabits per second with AT&T Fiber in the Sacramento area. But with a range of options, from fiber to 5G services, Sacramento residents have plenty of choices for reliable internet. If AT&T Fiber doesn't cover your address, Xfinity offers plans that reach speeds of up to 2,000Mbps.
Fidium offers the cheapest internet in Sacramento, with plans starting at $25 a month for the first year. T-Mobile Home Internet and Verizon 5G Home Internet are also options worth considering. Those with existing mobile plans through either provider can save big when bundling services and access internet for as low as $35 per month.

All available Sacramento residential internet providers
They may not be the fastest, cheapest or most available, but other ISP options exist in Sacramento. If you need an option outside of the top of our list, some satellite and fixed wireless providers are around as well. Here are the other available providers beyond our best picks:
DigitalPath: An option for those in remote areas or with few other options, DigitalPath offers a variety of connections that depend largely on geography. In rural areas, speeds may be as low as 3Mbps. The provider also requires a contract, which is a bit more pricey than other options.
EarthLink: With a relatively low-speed DSL connection that starts at $55 a month, EarthLink's Sacramento offerings don't fit into many plans. It's also one of our lower-rated providers and isn't available to everyone in the Sacramento area. However, they now have fiber available in some areas that offers up to 5000Mbps.
