Find internet providers in Fresno, CA
Find internet offered in Fresno, CA – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Fresno, CA, your best bet is AT&T, covering ~81% of the city with speeds up to 5,000 Mbps. That top speed comes from fiber reaching ~30% of the city, so verify it at your address. Woodward Park (93720) leans Xfinity, with 1200/35 Mbps cable reaching 60.9% and 2000/300 Mbps cable reaching 33.4%; AT&T’s 5000/5000 Mbps fiber reaches 4.8%. Sunnyside (93727) is closer, with Xfinity’s 2000/300 Mbps cable reaching 37.7% and AT&T’s 5000/5000 Mbps fiber reaching 34.9%. Tower District (93728) is the AT&T stronghold, with its 5000/5000 Mbps fiber reaching 80.4%. Students at California State University, Fresno, Fresno City College, and Fresno Pacific University should check apartment-level service for Zoom, streaming, and gaming, since older copper can still limit some buildings. Budget-minded shoppers can also consider Cal.net, whose fixed wireless reaches ~82% at up to 100/20 Mbps, or unWired Broadband, reaching ~24% at up to 400/50 Mbps. Coverage changes street to street, including around Fresno Air National Guard Base, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Fresno
At $50/mo for the first 12 months, then $90/mo, AT&T Fiber 1 GIG offers up to 1000 Mbps down and 1000 Mbps up with a Speed Score of 91/100, making it an excellent choice and a strong value. AT&T’s fiber scores are above Fresno’s city average of 67, while the top AT&T Fiber 5 GIG plan reaches up to 5000 Mbps both ways with a 98/100 score for $95/mo initially, then $135/mo. Fiber 1 GIG is available to 36.6% of the city, so check your address because AT&T’s fixed-wireless Internet Air is not the same technology or performance experience.
About AT&T
Starting at $35/mo for the first 12 months, then $60/mo, AT&T Fiber 300 offers up to 300 Mbps both ways, while the $50/mo Fiber 1 GIG plan, then $90/mo, offers up to 1000 Mbps both ways, making AT&T an excellent value where fiber is available. Fiber 300 and Fiber 1 GIG are available to 36.6% of Fresno, while Fiber 5 GIG costs $95/mo for the first 12 months, then $135/mo, and reaches 30.5%, so the best options depend on your address. Where fiber is unavailable, Internet Air costs $55/mo, then $60/mo, and offers up to 300 Mbps both ways, but fixed wireless can be less consistent, so check for fiber first if you need dependable performance for demanding modern uses.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Fresno
Xfinity’s 1 Gig fiber plan is available to 1.4% of Fresno, so this top-tier option is highly address-dependent. Where available, it offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 91, making it an excellent choice and competitive above Fresno’s city-average Speed Score of 67. Check your address to confirm fiber service, since Xfinity’s broader footprint may not provide this same technology or performance everywhere.
About Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 80.3% of Fresno, giving many households a good chance of finding service at their address, but the listed fiber plans are much more limited. Where available, fiber is an excellent choice, including up to 1000 Mbps both ways, but availability is only 1.4% for the 1 Gig, 500 Mbps, and 300 Mbps plans and 0.9% for 1.2/2 Gig, so check your address and the actual technology and speed before signing up, since a slower fallback may not meet modern streaming, work, or upload needs.

5G fixed wireless can handle everyday streaming, video calls, and multiple connected devices, although wireless conditions may make performance less consistent than wired service.

Availability depends on your exact address, and the plans shown reach 58.9% of Fresno, so confirm eligibility before choosing Verizon.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Fresno
Homes that need fast everyday service for streaming, remote work, and multiple connected devices should find T-Mobile competitive in Fresno, with 5G fixed wireless plans scoring 80/100, above the city average of 67. All-In offers up to 498 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload, while Rely offers up to 354 Mbps download and 55 Mbps upload, with both available to 65.8% of the city. Because fixed wireless can be more variable than cable or fiber, verify service at your address before choosing, especially if you need consistently low latency.
About T-Mobile
Households seeking affordable internet for streaming, video calls, and everyday use may find T-Mobile a good fit, with up to 498 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up for $70/mo promotional pricing, then $80/mo, or up to 354 Mbps down and 55 Mbps up for $50/mo promotional pricing, then $60/mo. These fixed wireless plans have an 80/100 Speed Score and are adequate rather than fiber or cable, with availability limited to 65.8% of Fresno, so check your address first and consider faster wired options if you need especially consistent performance or heavy upload capacity.

Our recommendation for Fresno
Satellite internet is widely available and can support streaming, browsing, and other everyday use, but its higher latency may make video calls, gaming, and other real-time activities less responsive than wired connections. Starlink’s Residential – Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, with a Speed Score of 70/100, above Fresno’s city average of 67, and is available to 100.0% of Fresno. Because satellite performance can vary and latency remains a tradeoff, check the other options available at your specific address before choosing it for demanding or real-time use.
About Starlink
Satellite internet can provide service where wired options are unavailable, but its higher latency may make gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities less responsive. Starlink’s Residential – Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, with less expensive options of up to 200 Mbps for $85/mo or up to 100 Mbps for $55/mo, so it can handle many households’ streaming and browsing needs. Each plan is shown as available to 100.0% of Fresno, but check for fiber or cable at your address first because those technologies are typically a better fit for demanding modern use.

Kerman Telephone’s fiber service offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload, enough for heavy streaming, video calls, gaming, and many connected devices, with a 91/100 speed score that makes it an excellent, competitive choice in Fresno. Availability depends on your address, and fiber reaches 0.1% of the city, so households offered copper instead should note that the top copper plan reaches only up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload with a 52/100 score, making it worth checking other providers first.
About Kerman Telephone
Kerman Telephone’s fastest plan offers up to 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload, excellent for streaming, gaming, remote work, and households with many connected devices. Fiber coverage is limited to 0.1% of census blocks, making it highly address-dependent, while the fallback copper plans top out at up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload and may be limiting for modern needs, so check your address for fiber or another faster option first.

About Frontier

About Viasat Inc

It reaches 100.0% of Fresno, but satellite can be limited by latency, so check whether faster fiber or cable service is available at your address first.

How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.

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.
