With a local poverty rate of eleven percent, low-income internet plans are a prominent option in Vallejo.
Xfinity offers the best price-to-speed value among Vallejo plans. Pricing starts at $9.95 per month, with equivalent pricing for customers who sign up using an ACP discount.
The city of Vallejo released a comprehensive broadband master plan for bridging the digital divide locally in 2022. The proposal included subsidy and public-private partnership options, but as of 2023 local offers have not expanded beyond the baseline major carrier plans.
Xfinity low-income plans
Xfinity (Comcast) offers 2 low-income internet plans in Vallejo: Xfinity Internet Essentials and Xfinity Internet Essentials Plus.
Xfinity is the dominant low-income internet provider in Vallejo and Solano County thanks to low pricing compared with other options like AT&T.
Xfinity Internet Essentials
- Download speed: 50 Mbps (50 Mbps upload)
- Monthly price: $9.95 plus tax
- Fees: Taxes only.
Xfinity Internet Essentials Plus

AT&T low-income plans
AT&T currently offers just one plan option for low-income customers in Vallejo, called AT&T Access 10.
The key issue with AT&T's low-income offerings is network availability. Less than half of the AT&T network in Vallejo has been upgraded to fiber, which means that most low-income locations are serviced by older copper lines. AT&T is a better fit for mid-income customers using an ACP discount — but only within the AT&T Fiber service area.
AT&T Access 10
- Download speed: 10 Mbps (10 Mbps upload)
- Monthly price: $10 plus tax
- Fees: Taxes only.
