AT&T Fiber is CNET’s top pick for the best internet provider in Fresno, California. That's because it offers great upload and download speeds at competitive monthly rates. The main drawback is AT&T Fiber's limited coverage area, which doesn't extend to all Fresno neighborhoods, leaving many residents without access.
If AT&T Fiber isn't available at your address, Xfinity is a solid alternative, with some of the most affordable plans starting at just $35. Just be aware of potential price hikes and additional fees after promotional periods end. T-Mobile is another worthy option that works particularly well for smaller households with one or two people. However, it also offers plans for larger families, like its $70 All-In Home Internet plan, which has slightly faster speeds and better Wi-Fi hardware.
Our team looks at speed, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service. We use a special database that we've built over years of reviewing internet services. To ensure accuracy, we also check if the service is available at local addresses. We read the terms and conditions of providers carefully and, when needed, contact ISPs to confirm the details, too.
Our process has some limitations you should know about. Pricing and speed data are variable: Certain addresses may qualify for different service tiers, and monthly costs may vary, even within a city. The best way to identify your particular options is to plug your address into a provider's website.
Note that the prices, speeds and other information listed above and in the provider cards below may differ from what we found in our research. The cards display the full range of a provider's pricing and speeds across the US, according to our database of plan information provided directly by ISPs. At the same time, the text is specific to what’s available in Fresno. The prices referenced within this article’s text come from our research and include applicable discounts for setting up automatic payments each month -- a standard industry offering. Other discounts and promotions might also be available for things like committing to a contract or bundling with a cellphone plan.
