The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedRoles count plans reaching at least 5% of Bellevue. Faster only in small pockets: Quantum Fiber Fiber 8G up to 8,000 Mbps (~0% of the city).
Xfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 70% of the city, while its overall footprint is about 99%. Ziply Fiber is fastest where available, with fiber speeds up to 6,000/6,000 Mbps reaching about 11% of the city; if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice. CenturyLink is the safe fallback where Xfinity does not reach, mostly DSL with up to 140 Mbps reaching about 24% of the city.
Downtown Bellevue and West Bellevue show more competition than the citywide picture suggests, with Xfinity leading ZIP 98004 at about 30%, followed by Astound Broadband at about 23% and Quantum Fiber at about 13%. Xfinity is especially dominant in 98005 and Somerset, reaching about 58% and 67%, respectively, while Quantum Fiber leads 98015 at about 65%. Crossroads is a closer contest, with Xfinity at about 46% and Quantum Fiber at about 34%. Around Bellevue College, check apartment wiring carefully because some buildings may still rely on older copper or DSL infrastructure. Fixed wireless from T-Mobile or Verizon is worth checking, but coverage changes street to street, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Bellevue
Xfinity’s cable service reaches about 99% of Bellevue through its up to 1,200 Mbps plan, giving most shoppers a strong chance of availability. Cable is a solid option for most households, and the 1.2 Gig plan scores 85/100, while Xfinity’s headline Speed Score of 90/100 is above the city average of 59. The fastest 2 Gig plan reaches only about 70% of the city, so check your address to see whether up to 2,000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload are available.
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 Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 99.1% of Bellevue, so most shoppers have a strong chance of getting its cable service. Its best option is up to 2 Gig with a Speed Score of 90/100, while the up to 1.2 Gig and up to 1 Gig plans are available to about 99% of the city, making Xfinity a good choice for streaming, gaming, and busy households, though the fastest 2 Gig plan is address-dependent and available to about 70% of Bellevue.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Bellevue
CenturyLink is a competitive choice in Bellevue, led by its top-tier fiber option with a Speed Score of 76/100, above the city average of 59. The Fiber Internet plan offers up to 940 Mbps download and 940 Mbps upload for $75 per month, but it is available to about 11% of the city. Address availability matters because the 100 Mbps DSL plan reaches about 41% of the city, yet its Speed Score of 23/100 and up to 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload provide limited performance compared with alternatives.
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 CenturyLink
CenturyLink is a good option in Bellevue mainly for addresses with its fiber plan, but many households may find the available DSL only adequate for basic browsing. Fiber offers up to 940 Mbps both ways for $75 per month and is available to about 11% of the city, while the 100 Mbps DSL plan reaches about 41% at $55 per month for 12 months, so check your address for fiber or another faster provider before choosing CenturyLink.

Our recommendation for Bellevue
Astound Broadband is a top-tier option where its fiber is available, offering up to 2000 Mbps down and 2000 Mbps up with a Speed Score of 90/100. Its fiber plan reaches about 5% of Bellevue, while the cable plan is also a solid option at up to 1500 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up with a Speed Score of 89/100. Because availability varies by address, check which technology reaches your home before choosing, since the fiber and cable experiences differ.
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 Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong option at addresses with its fiber or cable service, offering fiber up to 2000 Mbps both ways in about 5% of census blocks and cable up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload in about 3%. Availability is highly address-dependent, and the fallback copper plan reaches about 1% with up to 1000 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload, which may not be sufficient for modern households, so check your address for fiber or cable first.

How We Analyze Internet in Bellevue
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 Bellevue report service availability from each provider.

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.

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.
