The 30-Second Verdict
UpdatedXfinity is the best overall, with cable speeds up to 1,200 Mbps reaching about 87% of the city. Ziply Fiber offers fiber speeds up to 6,000/6,000 Mbps reaching about 33% of the city, and if it reaches your address, it is the faster choice.
Crescent Harbor is especially competitive, with Xfinity reaching about 47% of the ZIP, Ziply Fiber about 33%, and Astound Broadband about 19%. In ZIP 98278, the terrestrial choices shown are thinner, with Verizon reaching about 30% and Xfinity about 10%, so address-level checking matters around Harbor Hills and City Beach. Students at Skagit Valley College, Whidbey Island Campus, should be cautious with apartments and older buildings, where copper or DSL infrastructure may limit reliable Zoom, streaming, and gaming performance. The same check is worthwhile near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, since coverage can change from one street to the next. Fixed wireless is another option where wired service misses, with Verizon reaching about 19% of the city at speeds up to 300 Mbps, while T-Mobile and AT&T reach smaller portions at speeds up to 100 Mbps. Confirm the exact address before choosing, because neighborhood-level availability is not the same as city-wide coverage.

Ziply Fiber’s other fiber plans range from up to 100 Mbps to 2,000 Mbps both ways, with Speed Scores from 23/100 to 90/100.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Oak Harbor
Astound Broadband is a strong option in Oak Harbor, led by its top-tier fiber plan. Fiber offers up to 2000/2000 Mbps with a Speed Score of 90, while its cable plan is a solid option at up to 1500/50 Mbps with a Speed Score of 89. Because these technologies may not serve the same address, check availability carefully, especially since the fiber plan covers about 1% of the city.

About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong option where its fiber or cable service is available, offering up to 2,000 Mbps both ways on fiber or up to 1,500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload on cable. Availability is address-dependent: fiber reaches about 1% of census blocks and cable about 28%, while the fallback copper plan reaches about 2% and offers up to 1,000 Mbps download but only 10 Mbps upload, which may not be enough for modern households.

About HughesNet

About Starlink

How We Analyze Internet in Oak Harbor
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 Oak Harbor report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Oak Harbor
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.
