Find internet providers in Los Angeles, CA
Find internet offered in Los Angeles, 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.

About Starlink
Satellite internet can reach hard-to-serve homes, but its higher latency may make gaming, video calls, and other real-time activities feel less responsive than fiber or cable. Starlink covers 100.0% of Los Angeles, with plans from $55/mo up to 400 Mbps, and its Residential – Max plan has a Speed Score of 70/100. Check your address for fiber or cable first, then consider Starlink a practical fallback when those faster, lower-latency options are unavailable.

Yes—ZIP 90024 lists Frontier fiber at 47.0% coverage for 4,000 Mbps, plus 11.2% for its 5,000 Mbps tier. AT&T fiber also appears at 3.6% there, so check your Westwood address because ZIP-level percentages do not guarantee service.
What is the cheapest internet plan in Los Angeles?
Frontier Fiber 500 is the city's cheapest plan at a promotional starting rate of $29.99/mo for 500 Mbps, reaching 8.7% of Los Angeles. It wins on listed price, but availability is limited, so confirm that this specific plan reaches your address before choosing it.
What internet speed do I need for gaming and streaming in Los Angeles?
For gaming and multiple simultaneous streams, 1,000 Mbps is a strong listed target: Spectrum Internet Gig reaches 91.7% of Los Angeles at that plan speed. For higher upload needs, AT&T Fiber 1 GIG provides 1,000 Mbps where available, but its plan reaches 46.1% citywide.
What internet is available around the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
ZIP 90028, identified with the Hollywood Walk of Fame, lists Spectrum at 63.5% and AT&T Fiber 5 GIG at 14.1% coverage. That makes Spectrum the leading listed provider there, while address verification remains necessary because ZIP coverage is not universal.
How We Analyze Internet in Los Angeles
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
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Los Angeles report service availability from each provider.

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.
