TV and Internet Providers in Los Angeles, California

You can pass on a cable subscription and still watch TV by hooking up a TV antenna or signing up for a streaming service.

Go for a TV antenna if you want local channels without ongoing payments. Streaming services have tons of cable TV channels, but they work best if you have fast, reliable internet.

AT&T Fiber is the way to go if you want the fastest download speeds in Los Angeles. No other major provider in the city can touch its gig speeds:

• Frontier’s download speeds reach 500 Mbps
• Spectrum’s download speeds reach 400 Mbps.
• Cox’s download speeds reach 300 Mbps.
