There’s a clear hierarchy when it comes to choosing an internet provider in Fresno, California. If you live at one of the addresses that can get AT&T Fiber, you can stop your search now — CNET’s pick for the best internet provider nationwide serves up fast, reliable internet for a reasonable monthly price. The only downside is that a significant share of Fresno residents aren’t able to get it.

If you can’t get AT&T Fiber, Xfinity offers some of the cheapest internet plans in the country, but you’ll have to be vigilant about price increases and fees. T-Mobile is another decent backup option, but its speeds are best for households with only one or two people.

Our team considers speeds, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service in Fresno across a variety of categories. Our evaluation includes referencing a proprietary database built over years of reviewing internet services. We validate that against provider information by spot-checking local addresses for service availability. We also do a close read of providers’ terms and conditions and, when needed, will call ISPs to verify the details.

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.
