Compare plans in Natomas Internet alternatives in Natomas
Xfinity is the most common internet choice in Natomas, since they have both the widest local coverage and the lowest deal offering for new customers.
AT&T has expanded their fiber coverage in both North Natomas and South Natomas as of 2024, to cover around 37% of residences. South Natomas has stronger fiber access than North Natomas.
Even when fiber is available, however, beating Xfinity’s $19.99 per month start price is difficult. AT&T charges close to $50 for their base plan.
Overall, I suggest AT&T Fiber for customers who plan to stick around for multiple years since the price is more consistent over time. (Xfinity is cheaper over 1–2 years… but Xfinity bills have a way of creeping up over time for existing customers.)
Earthlink offers a pricing alternative to AT&T in Natomas. The service uses AT&T lines, but is provided with Earthlink’s prices, speed tiers, and customer support.

AT&T Fiber plans in Natomas
AT&T doesn’t use any of the price-change tactics associated with Xfinity service. As a result, the price looks higher up front… but is only a few dollars different after the first year.
The speed offered by AT&T Fiber is much stronger. Xfinity has a 50 Mbps base speed in Natomas (enough for a couple users or modest family use), while AT&T Fiber offers 300 Mbps (enough for home offices and power users).

Internet alternatives in Natomas
Earthlink is the only widespread wired internet alternative to Xfinity and AT&T in Natomas. Earthlink service is leased from AT&T, so the speeds are the same. The main difference is that Earthlink works hard on customer service to differentiate themselves.
T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless both offer hotspot packages, in addition to tethering options. Low-income areas of Natomas often use a single mobile plan or mobile hotspot as a replacement for standalone internet service.
