What is the best internet provider in Stockton, California?
AT&T Fiber is Stockton’s best internet service provider, offering fast, symmetrical speeds at reasonable prices. It has the highest customer satisfaction scores of any national ISP, and unlike many other providers, your price won’t automatically increase after a promotional period ends.
While Xfinity has the cheapest internet plans in Stockton, your bill will increase significantly after one or two years. Xfinity doesn’t require contracts on its plans, so you can always switch before the increase kicks in (or try to negotiate with customer service), but that’s an extra step we’re not crazy about.
T-Mobile and Verizon offer wireless internet in Stockton, and while there are no automatic price increases, its plans don’t reach the same top speeds as Xfinity, and they’re more vulnerable to network congestion. Still, they’re great for smaller households, and you can save by bundling with a T-Mobile or Verizon cellphone plan.

Our take – It’s hard to beat AT&T Fiber. It has the fastest speeds in Stockton by far, and it’s the only provider that offers symmetrical upload and download speeds — ideal for homes that do a lot of online gaming or videoconferencing. And unlike many ISPs, its prices don’t increase drastically after a year or two. The one downside is availability: FCC data shows that only 23% of Stockton residents can currently access AT&T Fiber.
