The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall wired pick, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 54% of Livermore. If AT&T fiber reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 21% of the city.
In Sunset East, Xfinity leads with the 2,000 Mbps cable tier at about 51% of the ZIP, while AT&T fiber reaches about 30%, making that neighborhood especially worth checking for fiber. Springtown is similarly cable-friendly, with Xfinity reaching about 54% on its 2,000 Mbps tier and AT&T fiber reaching about 24%, though apartment buildings near Las Positas College may have different wiring and choices. Students should verify whether an address is on fiber, cable, or older DSL and copper infrastructure before counting on smooth Zoom calls, streaming, or gaming. Unwired Ltd, Verizon, and T-Mobile provide useful fixed-wireless alternatives, while South Livermore and North Livermore can vary street by street. Livermore doesn’t have a single dominant coverage provider, so in some areas satellite might be a real option. Starlink reaches about 100% with speeds up to 220/30 Mbps, but confirm the exact address before choosing any provider.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Livermore
At $90/mo for 12 months, AT&T Internet 5 GIG offers up to 5,000 Mbps both ways over fiber, making it a top-tier option for demanding households. Its 95/100 Speed Score is above Livermore’s 60 average, but this plan is available to only about 21% of the city. AT&T also offers fixed wireless, so the technology and real-world performance available at your address may differ, making address-level availability worth checking.
Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.
About AT&T
At $90 per month, AT&T’s fastest plan offers up to 5000 Mbps both ways, while $35 per month gets you up to 300 Mbps both ways, making the fiber options excellent value for households with heavy streaming, gaming, or work-from-home needs. Fiber availability is address-dependent, reaching about 21% of Livermore for the 5 GIG plan and about 24% for the 1 GIG, 500Mbps, and 300Mbps plans; elsewhere, Internet Air offers up to 300 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload at $40 per month, which is adequate but less capable and may have fixed-wireless reliability limits, so check your address for fiber first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Livermore
Frontier’s top fiber plan offers up to 2000 Mbps download and 2000 Mbps upload, enough for heavy streaming, gaming, large downloads, and many connected devices, with a Speed Score of 91/100. Fiber is an excellent choice, but availability depends on your specific address, and the best tier may not reach every home. Where only copper is available, the options drop to up to 90/5 Mbps with a Speed Score of 21/100 or 10/1 Mbps with a Speed Score of 1/100, so consider checking other providers first.

About Frontier
Frontier’s fastest option is fiber with up to 2000 Mbps both ways, which is excellent for multiple 4K streams, gaming, video calls, and work from home. Fiber availability is highly address-dependent, with the up to 1000 Mbps plan reaching about 1% of census blocks, while the fallback copper plans top out at up to 90/5 Mbps or 10/1 Mbps and may not be sufficient for modern households, so check for fiber or another faster provider first.

Up to 200 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, with a 59/100 Speed Score, should handle streaming, video calls, work, and several connected devices.

Its fixed wireless service can be adequate for streaming, work, and everyday use, but it may be less consistent than wired connections.

About Ayera Technologies
Ayera Technologies is worth checking for some Livermore addresses, with fixed wireless up to 1000 Mbps download and 500 Mbps upload earning an excellent 81/100 speed score, though it reaches only about 3% of census blocks.

About Viasat Inc

How We Analyze Internet in Livermore
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 Livermore 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.
