San Francisco might be small (has no more than 50 square miles) and it also might not be one of the most populous cities in the United States, but it is a rare jewel.
Full of landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Alcatraz prison and Lombard Street, the city has a very strong cultural scene and also hosts top tech companies of the world.
The city is maybe the most important technology hub on Earth today, and started to grow during the internet boom, in the 1990s.
It is home to companies such as Facebook (now called Meta), Google, Apple and Twitter, and you can visit them all and get to know the famous Silicon Valley, where they all are located.
In terms of internet services, it is the 4th most connected city in California state, with 99,7% of it having at least two providers available and almost 60% of its address with access to fiber coverage.
The city stands out for having a lot of providers offering fiber internet, which is not common.
Xfinity stands out with 1,2000 Mbps plans, one of the fastest alternatives everywhere. It loses, however, to the not so broadly available 2,000 Mbps Sonic service.
AT&T is, as in almost all of California, a good choice. Offers good coverage, fast internet and nice prices.
Wave also stands out for having a very cheap fiber plan, but unfortunately it is available only in 2,8% of the city.
If you live in the city and are a sports fan, don’t forget to get a plan where you can watch live streams, because San Francisco is on top of almost every sport in the United States.
The city is today home for the San Francisco Giants, aht the Major LEague Baseball (MLB), and the 49ers atie the National Football LEague (NFL). And do not miss a Golden state Warriors game in the National Basket LEague (NBA).
The city has won almost everything in the past few years. The Giants won the MLB in 2010, 2012 and 2014. The 49ers got defeated at the 2019 Super Bowl, but won the NFC title. Stephern Curry led the Warriors to the top of the NBA in 2015, 2017 and 2019.
If you want to know a little more about the city’s history, it is important to note that it has a strong LGBT scene, with a long history of fight and pride.
The San Francisco Pride parade is one of the biggest in the world and has been held since 1972.
Just don’t forget to bring with you a nice jacket and an umbrella even if it is a sunny day, because the city is famous for its unpredictable weather.
