  Los Angeles, CA

  Sample ZIP 90210

  Spectrum still dominates by subscriber count thanks to no-contract cable at 300 to 1000 Mbps, but AT&T Fiber's symmetrical gig and 2-gig tiers at flat pricing are taking high-intent customers fast. If you're in an AT&T Fiber green block, it's the obvious pick. If you're not, Spectrum's unlimited data and no-contract posture is more tolerable than the cable experience in most of the country, but the promo-to-regular price cliff still hits hard at month 13.

• Major metro

  San Diego, CA

  Sample ZIP 92101

  Cox is the volume leader, aggressive year-one promos, but the 1.25 TB data cap and post-promo regular rate make 2-year costs less friendly than the brochure implies. AT&T Fiber at $80/mo flat for symmetrical gigabit is the obvious pick wherever it reaches, with no contract or equipment fee. T-Mobile 5G Home at $50/mo flat works well for renters who can't wait for a cable installer.

  San Francisco, CA

  Sample ZIP 94102

  AT&T Fiber at $80/mo flat for symmetrical gigabit is the preferred pick where it reaches, no contract, no data cap, no equipment fee. Xfinity is the fallback and still the default at most addresses; its gigabit tier promos are aggressive in year one but the 1.2 TB data cap is enforced and post-promo pricing jumps. T-Mobile 5G Home is a genuine option for renters in brighter-line-of-sight neighborhoods.
