Find internet providers in Port Orchard, WA
Find internet offered in Port Orchard, WA – 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 Port Orchard, WA, your best bet is Astound Broadband, covering ~95% of the city with speeds up to 2,000 Mbps.

Astound cable reaches ~94% with speeds up to 1,500/50 Mbps, while its fiber reaches ~4% with speeds up to 2,000/2,000 Mbps, so do not assume the top speed is everywhere.

McCormick Woods is similar, with Astound cable at 79.5%, fiber at 4.8%, and Kitsap PUD fiber at 3.6%.

THE TAKEAWAY

About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong option in Port Orchard, especially for homes on its widely available cable network. Its fiber plan is the top choice, offering up to 2000 Mbps both ways with a 97/100 Speed Score, but it reaches only 3.7% of census blocks, while cable offers up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with an 86/100 Speed Score across 94.4% of census blocks. Availability is address-dependent, and the copper fallback offers up to 1000 Mbps download but only 10 Mbps upload, which may be limiting for modern households, so check for fiber or cable at your address first.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Port Orchard
Fiber is a top-tier option for streaming, gaming, video calls, and large uploads because it offers low latency and matching upload and download capacity. Quantum Fiber’s 2 Gig plan provides up to 2000 Mbps download and upload with a 98/100 Speed Score, above the city average of 70. Availability depends on your address because that fastest tier is offered to 0.1% of Port Orchard, while the up to 940 Mbps download and upload plan scores 88/100 and the 200 Mbps plan scores 76/100.
About Quantum Fiber
Fiber is excellent for everyday use, supporting streaming, gaming, video calls, and multiple connected devices with strong upload and download performance.

5G fixed wireless gives Verizon’s 5G Home Plus plan up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, while 5G Home offers up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload, suitable for streaming, work, and multiple devices. The plans score 79/100 and 76/100 respectively, putting Verizon’s headline Speed Score above the city average of 70, although fixed wireless can be more sensitive to signal and network conditions than wired service. Both plans show availability to 44.4% of Port Orchard, so check your address before signing up because the strongest signal and best real-world performance may not reach every home.
About Verizon
Verizon’s 5G fixed wireless is generally an adequate option for streaming, video calls, and everyday use, with 5G Home Plus offering up to 1000 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload for $45/mo promotional rate, then $70/mo, and 5G Home offering up to 300 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload for $35/mo promotional rate, then $60/mo.

Our recommendation for Port Orchard
Xfinity’s 1 Gig cable plan reaches 5.0% of Port Orchard, so shoppers should verify address eligibility rather than assume it is available. At up to 1000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, it is a solid, reliable cable option with a Speed Score of 85/100, above the city average of 70. Confirm the exact plan at your address, since availability can vary and cable’s upload performance is more limited than its download speed.
About Xfinity
Xfinity reaches 5.0% of Port Orchard, so your odds of getting service are limited and you should check your exact address first.

About HughesNet
At $39.99, $49.99, or $94.99 per month for the first 12 months, HughesNet offers up to 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, or 100 Mbps download speeds, respectively, which is modest value for satellite service with below-average performance and high latency. Although each plan is available to 100.0% of Port Orchard, check your address for fiber or cable first because those technologies are generally better for streaming, gaming, video calls, and multiple users, while HughesNet is best treated as a fallback.

How We Analyze Internet in Port Orchard
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 Port Orchard report service availability from each provider.
Data Coverage for Port Orchard
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.

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.
