Xfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 2,000 Mbps reaching about 41% of the city, while its overall footprint is about 99%. If Ziply Fiber reaches your address, it is the faster choice, with fiber speeds up to 6,000/6,000 Mbps reaching about 85% of the city.

Rose Hill in ZIP 98033 is especially favorable for Ziply Fiber, which reaches about 94% of that ZIP with its fastest fiber tier. Juanita in ZIP 98034 also leans strongly toward Ziply Fiber, reaching about 80%, while ZIP 98083 is nearly all Ziply, at about 94%. Finn Hill and Houghton still deserve an address-level check, since street-by-street availability can differ even within these broad patterns. For students at Northwest University or Lake Washington Institute of Technology, ask specifically about apartment wiring, because some buildings may still be limited by older copper or DSL infrastructure, which can frustrate Zoom, streaming, and gaming. T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T offer fixed wireless alternatives, and Astound Broadband appears in only a small slice of the city, so confirm the exact address before choosing.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Kirkland

Xfinity’s 1.2 Gig cable plan reaches about 99% of Kirkland, giving most addresses a strong chance of getting up to 1,200 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload. With a 90/100 Speed Score, Xfinity is a solid, competitive cable option that is above the city’s 54 average, especially for households needing fast downloads. Availability is address-dependent, and the faster 2 Gig plan reaches only about 41% of the city, so check your address to see which tier is offered.

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 99.2% of Kirkland, so most residents have a strong chance of getting its service. Its cable plans are excellent for most households, including up to 2 Gig download speeds, although the fastest 2 Gig option is available to about 41% of the city while the up to 1.2 Gig, 1 Gig, 500 Mbps, and 300 Mbps plans reach about 99% of the city. Check your address because the fastest tier is location-dependent, but even the widely available cable options should handle modern streaming, work, and gaming needs well.

Our recommendation for Kirkland

Fiber is an excellent choice for low-latency browsing, streaming, gaming, and demanding home use, with Ziply Fiber’s top-tier Fiber 5 Gig plan offering up to 5,000 Mbps both ways and a 98/100 Speed Score. It is competitive in Kirkland, where the city average is 54, and this plan is available to about 85% of the city at $80 per month.

About Ziply Fiber

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Kirkland

Astound Broadband is a strong choice in Kirkland, with top-tier fiber and solid cable performance that both rank well above the city’s average top speed score of 54. Its fiber plan offers up to 2000 Mbps download and 2000 Mbps upload, scores 90/100, and covers about 3% of the city, while its cable plan offers up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with a score of 89/100 across about 2%. Availability depends on your address, and locations limited to the copper plan receive up to 1000 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload with a score of 79/100, so check which technology is actually available before choosing.

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 excellent fiber or cable service, including fiber with up to 2000 Mbps both ways and cable with up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload.

Its Speed Score of 71/100 is above Kirkland’s city average of 54, making it a competitive option, though fixed wireless can vary with local conditions and this plan is available across 64.3% of the city, so confirm service at your address.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Kirkland

For budget-conscious households needing everyday streaming, work, and browsing, T-Mobile offers fixed wireless service up to 500 Mbps download and 60 Mbps upload with a Speed Score of 76/100, above Kirkland’s city average of 54. That makes it a competitive option, though fixed wireless can be less consistent than wired service and the 500 Mbps plans reach about 86% of the city. Check your address carefully, since local signal conditions determine whether the service is available and how it performs.

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.

Its Speed Score of 71/100 is above Kirkland’s city average of 54, but fixed wireless performance can vary more than wired service, and this plan is available to 65.2% of the city, so confirm availability and expected performance at your address.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Kirkland

At $94.99/mo for the first 12 months, then $119.99/mo, HughesNet’s Fusion plan buys up to 100 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, but its 23/100 Speed Score is below Kirkland’s city average of 54. Satellite service has higher latency and more limited real-world performance than fiber or cable, so consider checking other providers first for demanding streaming, gaming, or work needs. Fusion is shown as available to 100.0% of Kirkland, though the best technology and service experience still depend on your specific address.

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

HughesNet costs $39.99 to $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, then $49.99 to $119.99, buying up to 25 to 100 Mbps download and 3 to 5 Mbps upload, so the higher-priced Fusion plan may still feel limited for busy households. All three satellite plans are available to 100.0% of Kirkland, but satellite has high latency and below-average performance, so check your address for faster fiber or cable service before choosing HughesNet, especially for streaming, video calls, or multiple users.

THE TAKEAWAY

Our recommendation for Kirkland

Viasat is a limited-performance option compared with alternatives, with a headline Speed Score of 20/100 versus the city average of 54. Its Viasat Essentials satellite plan offers up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, with availability at 100% of Kirkland. Satellite service can have higher latency, so check what other technologies are available at your specific address before choosing.

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 Viasat Inc

Viasat Inc is a basic fallback rather than a strong first choice, since its satellite plans offer below-average speeds and satellite latency can affect video calls, gaming, and other modern uses. Viasat Essentials is the better option, with up to 55 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $69.99 per month, while Viasat Unleashed offers up to 34 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload for $99.99 per month; both are available to 100% of Kirkland, but you should check for faster cable or fiber service at your address first.

How We Analyze Internet in Kirkland

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 Kirkland report service availability from each provider.

Census Blocks: 1,048 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.

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.
