Setting Up Home Internet

Xfinity, AT&T Fiber, and More

In today's world, internet is as vital as water and electricity. In the US, the provider you choose often depends on your specific apartment builder's wiring.

Main Providers

• Xfinity (Comcast): Very common, easy self-install kits.
• AT&T Fiber: Extremely fast if available in your area.
• Sonic: Great local provider in parts of the Bay Area.

Self-Install vs. Technician

Most providers offer a "Self-Install Kit" which they mail to you. You simply plug in the modem to the coax or fiber port in your wall. If it doesn't work, you'll need to schedule a technician visit, which might have a fee.

Tip: Always check for "new customer" deals or student/low-income programs if applicable.
