The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall choice, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 29% of the city. AT&T is the fastest where available; if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 13% of the city.
In Broadstone’s 95630 ZIP, Xfinity leads with cable speeds up to 1,200 Mbps covering about 47% of the ZIP, while AT&T fiber reaches about 14%. ZIP 95763 leans even more heavily toward Xfinity, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps covering about 49%, while AT&T fiber reaches about 13%. Folsom Lake College students should check apartment-specific options carefully, since some buildings and older addresses in Empire Ranch and Natoma Station may still be limited by DSL or copper infrastructure, which can complicate Zoom, streaming, and gaming. Fixed wireless is worth checking as another terrestrial option, including Verizon up to 300 Mbps reaching about 66% of the city, T-Mobile up to 100 Mbps reaching about 65%, and Cal.net up to 100 Mbps reaching about 60%. Coverage can change street by street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

Our recommendation for Folsom
At $90/mo for 12 months, AT&T Internet 5 GIG offers up to 5,000 Mbps both ways on fiber, plus a $150 reward card, making it a top-tier option for demanding households.

Where fiber is unavailable, AT&T Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload with a 72/100 Speed Score, though fixed wireless is generally less consistent than fiber.

About AT&T

AT&T fiber reaches about 15% of Folsom for its 1,000 Mbps and 500 Mbps tiers, while its 5,000 Mbps fiber reaches about 13%. Fiber is address-specific, so verify eligibility rather than relying on AT&T's overall footprint.
What internet speed do I need in Folsom?
A 300 Mbps plan covers common household use, while 1,000 Mbps supports heavier simultaneous activity; Xfinity offers those tiers to about 97% of Folsom. Households needing maximum capacity can consider AT&T's 5,000 Mbps fiber, but it reaches about 13%.
What internet is available in Broadstone?
ZIP 95630 lists Xfinity cable reaching about 47% at 1,200 Mbps and about 32% at 2,000 Mbps, while AT&T fiber reaches about 14%. Broadstone addresses should be checked individually because listed ZIP shares do not guarantee service at every home.
How We Analyze Internet in Folsom
FCC Broadband Data
We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.
Speed Score
A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Folsom report service availability from each provider.

How We Calculate Speed Score
The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?
What goes in:
- The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
- Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.
Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed
A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.
What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.
How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

How We Calculate Capabilities
Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.
Rating Scale:
- Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
- Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
- Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
- Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag
How We Rate Each Category:
Streaming
Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.
Multi-device
Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.
Gaming
Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.
Whole Home
Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.
Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
