Xfinity is the best overall choice, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 75% of Wellington. If AT&T reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps reaching about 43% of the city.

In Olympia, Xfinity leads across the ZIP, covering about 60% with cable speeds up to 2,000/300 Mbps, while AT&T fiber reaches about 32% with the same headline speed available there. That makes Olympia one of the better places to check for fiber, although Xfinity remains the more common local option. For Grand Isles, Wellington Shores, and Aero Club, the city-wide pattern is the useful guide: Xfinity’s cable network is broadly established, while AT&T fiber depends heavily on the exact street. Verizon and T-Mobile are worth checking if you prefer fixed wireless, with Verizon reaching about 50% city-wide at speeds up to 300 Mbps and T-Mobile reaching about 86% overall at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Coverage can change street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing, especially if fiber is your priority.

Our recommendation for Wellington

At $50/mo for 12 months, AT&T Fiber 1 GIG offers up to 1,000 Mbps both ways with a Speed Score of 77/100, making it a strong fiber value.

Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Wellington

Fiber is an excellent choice for streaming, gaming, remote work, and large downloads, with Hotwire’s fiber plan offering up to 8,000 Mbps both ways and a Speed Score of 99/100. Availability varies by address, so confirm that this top-tier plan reaches your home, since the listed 1,000 Mbps download and 200 Mbps upload option has a lower Speed Score of 77/100.

Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.

About Hotwire Communications

Fiber supports demanding uses like streaming, gaming, video calls, and large downloads, and Hotwire offers excellent choices, including symmetrical speeds up to 8,000 Mbps. Availability is highly address-dependent, though, with the broadest listed fiber plan reaching about 3% of census blocks, so check your exact address to see whether these fast options are available.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Wellington

Verizon’s 5G Home fixed wireless service offers an adequate option for everyday browsing, streaming, and video calls, with speeds up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload. Its Speed Score of 70/100 is above Wellington’s city average of 65, making it a competitive choice. Availability depends on your specific address, so confirm that 5G Home reaches your home before signing up.

About Verizon

Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless service offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, which is good for streaming, video calls, and everyday connected-home use, though fixed wireless can be less consistent than cable or fiber. This plan is available to about 50% of Wellington, so it is worth checking your address, especially since Verizon’s coverage is address-dependent and this may be an adequate rather than top-tier option for heavy households.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Wellington

At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $119.99, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys you up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 22/100 Speed Score is below Wellington’s city average of 65. Satellite offers more limited performance than fiber or cable, so consider checking other providers first for faster, lower-latency service, while noting that Fusion is available to 100% of Wellington.

Speeds and reach below are what the provider files with the FCC for each technology tier, by census block. The plans it actually sells here, with their own speeds and prices, are under Pricing & Plans; the two can differ.

About HughesNet

At $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, while the $49.99 Select plan offers up to 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, so the value is mainly in broad access rather than top performance. All three satellite plans are available to 100% of Wellington, but satellite can have high latency and below-average speeds, so check your address for faster fiber or cable service before choosing HughesNet, especially for streaming, gaming, or multiple users.

How We Analyze Internet in Wellington

FCC Broadband Data

We use the FCC National Broadband Map, updated twice a year with provider-reported coverage at the census block level.

Speed Score

A state-wide percentile of each plan’s maximum advertised download speed against every option filed with the FCC in the state, all technologies on one scale. It is not a measured speed test.

Coverage Calculation

Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Wellington report service availability from each provider.

Data Coverage for Wellington

ZIP Codes Analyzed:
33414
Census Tracts: 14 tracts
Census Blocks: 666 blocks analyzed

How We Calculate Speed Score

The Speed Score is a state-wide percentile from 0 to 100. It answers one question: of every internet option filed with the FCC in this state, across every technology, what share is slower than this plan’s maximum advertised download speed?

What goes in:

  • The plan’s maximum advertised download speed, as the provider files it with the FCC and lists it for sale.
  • Every other serviceable option in the state from the FCC Broadband Data Collection, counted by the census blocks it reaches.

Speed Score = share of the state’s filed options with a lower advertised download speed

A score of 85 means this plan’s advertised speed beats 85% of the options filed in the state. Fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless and satellite are all on the same scale, so a 1,000 Mbps plan scores the same whoever sells it.

What it is not: a measured speed test. It does not include latency, upload speed, reliability or congestion. Real throughput at an address varies with wiring, equipment and time of day.

How providers are ordered on this page: each provider’s tier scores are averaged across the census blocks it serves, then multiplied by the share of the city it reaches. Wired providers rank ahead of wireless-only ones, and satellite last, because their filings describe a signal footprint rather than a plant. The same rule sets the title and the 30-second verdict.

Data source: FCC National Broadband Map (Broadband Data Collection), republished roughly twice a year; provider plan lists checked monthly.

How We Calculate Capabilities

Estimated Capabilities predict how well each internet plan supports common household activities based on speed requirements and connection type.

Rating Scale:

  • Excellent – Optimal performance, handles peak usage easily
  • Good – Reliable performance with minimal issues
  • Fair – Functional but may experience slowdowns during heavy use
  • Poor – Not recommended; expect frequent buffering or lag

How We Rate Each Category:

Streaming

Based on download speed. 4K streaming requires 25+ Mbps per stream; HD requires 5+ Mbps. We account for multiple simultaneous streams.

Multi-device

Evaluates total bandwidth capacity divided by typical household device count (phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers). Fiber and cable handle many devices better than DSL or satellite.

Gaming

Considers both upload speed (for sending game data) and latency (ping time). Fiber and cable excel here; satellite connections struggle due to inherent signal delay.

Whole Home

Assesses whether the connection can reliably serve an entire household during peak evening hours. Factors in technology type (shared vs. dedicated bandwidth) and total speed capacity.

Note: Actual performance depends on your specific location, network congestion, and equipment quality.
