Best high speed internet provider in W. Berkeley

Hi everyone!

We are moving to Berkeley - the Aquatic building on 5th and University in August. Wondering if any of you know what's the best internet provider in that area? Seems like you have different providers in the Bay Area than we do in Brooklyn, so just wanted to check before we sign a contract with one of them.

thanks

Welcome to the Bay Area! I can't speak to Berkeley specifically, but since you're moving into a multi-unit building, check with them to see if you can get WebPass. It's incredibly fast and reliable (much more so than Comcast), affordable, and only available (I think) in apartment and condo buildings. Before we moved to a house, we used it in our condo building in Oakland and were very pleased.

We've been really pleased with Sonic for our single family home, and they are putting in gigabit fiber in Berkeley this fall. Their CSRs are light years beyond what I've encountered with other providers. We have internet bundled with a landline with unlimited calling (including some foreign countries) and other features for a fraction of what AT&T and Comcast charge.

I don't know if/how they work with apartment buildings, either for individual units or the whole project, but it's worth asking them.
