Find internet providers in Annapolis, MD
Find internet offered in Annapolis, MD – easily compare options from multiple providers to find the plan that best fits your needs.
FindBetterInternet was created by two guys with years of first-hand industry experience selling internet services online. Frankly, what we found left a lot to be desired. Internet providers can pay for their listings to be placed higher up the page, cookies can be captured, and your data can be shared for banner ads that stalk your online profile for the next week. We built FindBetterInternet to be different.
Our methodology translates the complex treasure trove of 115m locations on the FCC Broadband Map into one simple resource. We layer on pricing to help you sift through what’s good value.
We hope this is helpful for you and appreciate all the community’s support with this project. If you find it helpful, we do make a commission if you buy internet from a link on our address-check page. We pour that back into maintaining the site.
Every price and coverage figure on this site traces back to FCC Broadband Data Collection filings (the National Broadband Map); here’s exactly how we do it.

The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedIn Annapolis, MD, your best bet is Xfinity, covering ~100% of the city, with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps; that fastest cable tier reaches ~58% of the city. However, if Astound Broadband is available at your address, it can be the better, faster pick where its network reaches, with speeds up to 1,500 Mbps and coverage of ~15% of the city, while that top tier reaches ~14%. Murray Hill favors Xfinity at 53.3% of the ZIP, while Verizon fiber reaches 42.0%; Eastport flips the script, with Verizon at 53.9% and Xfinity at 45.4%. ZIP 21405 is especially fiber-friendly, with Verizon at 64.4%, while ZIP 21409 is an Xfinity stronghold at 82.2%; ZIP 21412 includes an Xfinity tier with speeds up to 1200/35 Mbps, reaching 33.3%. Around St. John’s College and the United States Naval Academy, student apartments can differ from nearby homes, and older buildings may still have DSL or copper lines, so reliable service matters for Zoom, streaming, and gaming. West Annapolis, Admiral Heights, and homes around Naval Support Activity Annapolis deserve the same building-level check. T-Mobile fixed wireless is a reasonable alternative where available, with speeds up to 100/20 Mbps reaching ~45% of the city. Coverage can change street by street, so confirm the exact address before signing up.

5G fixed wireless offers a practical connection for everyday browsing and streaming, with 5G Home Plus providing up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload speeds and a 71/100 Speed Score, above Annapolis’s city average of 63. The 300 Mbps plan offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload with a 70/100 score, but both plans are available to only 13.2% of the city, so your address determines eligibility, and fixed wireless performance can be more variable than wired connections.
About Verizon

Both have good speed scores of 71/100 and 70/100, but fixed wireless can vary with signal, and these plans are available to 13.2% of Annapolis, so check your address before relying on Verizon as an option.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Annapolis
Satellite internet can handle everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency may make gaming, video calls, and other interactive uses feel less responsive. Starlink’s Residential Max plan offers up to 400 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up for $130/mo, is available to 100.0% of Annapolis, and has a 66/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 63. That makes it competitive locally, but the satellite technology and the 43/100 scores on the 200 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans mean shoppers should check other providers at their address first if low latency and consistent performance matter.
About Starlink
Satellite internet can support everyday browsing and streaming, but its higher latency may make gaming and some video calls feel less responsive than fiber or cable. Starlink is available to 100.0% of Annapolis, with plans offering up to 400 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload for $130/mo, but check for fiber or cable at your address first because Starlink is a slower fallback for demanding modern use.

At $49.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $74.99/mo, HughesNet’s Select plan buys up to 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its satellite service has a Speed Score of 18/100. That score is below Annapolis’s city average of 63, and satellite’s high latency and limited performance make it worth checking what else is available at your address, especially for streaming, gaming, or multiple users. Select is listed as available to 100.0% of Annapolis, while Fusion costs $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, for up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload.
About HughesNet
HughesNet’s $39.99/mo Lite plan offers up to 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up, while Fusion is $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, for up to 100 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up, so the higher price buys more speed but still a satellite connection. Every listed plan shows 100.0% availability in Annapolis and a Speed Score of 18/100, so HughesNet can be a fallback where faster service is unavailable, but you should check your address for fiber, cable, or another faster option first for modern needs such as video calls, streaming, gaming, or multiple users.

How We Analyze Internet in Annapolis
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
Our proprietary score weights technology type (fiber=100%, cable=85%, etc.) with download (70%) and upload (30%) speeds, ranked as a state percentile.
Coverage Calculation
Provider coverage shows what percentage of census blocks in Annapolis report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Annapolis
How We Calculate Speed Score
Our Speed Score is a state-level percentile ranking (0-100) that shows how a provider’s service compares to all other internet options available in your state.
The Formula:
We calculate a raw performance score using:
Technology Factor × (Download Speed × 70% + Upload Speed × 30%)
Technology Factors:
Not all connections are equal. We weight each technology based on real-world reliability and performance:
- Fiber: 100% – Fastest, most reliable technology
- Cable: 85% – High speeds, shared neighborhood bandwidth
- Fixed Wireless (Licensed): 70% – Dedicated spectrum, weather-dependent
- Copper/DSL: 65% – Distance-limited, aging infrastructure
- Fixed Wireless (Unlicensed): 60% – Shared spectrum, variable performance
- Satellite (LEO): 40% – Low-earth orbit (e.g., Starlink), higher latency
- Satellite (GEO): 15% – Geostationary orbit, significant latency
Percentile Ranking:
After calculating raw scores, we rank every service option in your state by geographic coverage (census blocks served). A score of 85 means this service performs better than 85% of all internet options available in your state.
Data Source: FCC National Broadband Map data, updated twice a year.
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.
