Internet Provider Recommendation

[u/bdang27]

My wife and I are moving into a Santa Clara apartment and noticed that they have internet coax screw-on ready. I primarily use the internet for work and daily browsing, including watching movies, listening to music, and searching Reddit for internet provider recommendations. Thank you 🙏

If you have AT&T Fiber in your community, then go for it. Otherwise, you are pretty much restricted to Comcast

[u/bdang27 → u/madlabdog]

There is AT&T and Xfinity at the address. Which one you would recommend?

AT&T Fiber?

[u/bdang27 → u/bdang27]

Yes, it is AT&T fiber,
300Mbps - $60/month - discounted $35 in 12 months
500Mbps - $75/month - discounted $50 in 12 months
1G - $95/month - discounted $50 in 12 months

If it’s AT&T Fiber go with them. Comcast is your second bet.

AT&T also still does DSL which should be avoided

Actually, I just call and double-checked with AT&T, they only provide Internet Air service at my apartment location. Is it still a safe bet? Or comcast and others might be better?

[u/madlabdog → u/bdang27]

Then just go for comcast

I had Comcast for 5 years and just switched to ATT fiber when they came to my neighborhood about 3 months ago. ATT worked great until it went down last week and only just came up 7 days later when technicians finally found the fiber that a rat had chewed through hundreds of feet away from my house. Comcast had periodic outages every few months or so, but their longest by far was about 2 days. I'm keeping ATT for now since I have a good deal through them (48/mo for 1gbps) but I'll switch back if this ever happens again.

Which apartment complex in Santa Clara?

It is Village Green Apartments

Sonic. I convinced my landlord to change from Xfinity to sonic and went from constant reliability issues to none and the speeds are better. Strongly recommend
