THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Snohomish
Xfinity reaches about 75% of Snohomish through its 1.2 Gig, 1 Gig, 500 Mbps, and 300 Mbps cable plans, giving many residents a good chance of qualifying. Its top 2 Gig cable plan, available to about 57% of the city, is a reliable choice with speeds up to 2000 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload, plus a 90/100 Speed Score that is above the city average of 52. Availability and the best technology can vary by address, so confirm which plan reaches your home before signing up.
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 74.7% of Snohomish, giving many households a good chance of getting its cable service. At covered addresses, it offers excellent options for most uses, including up to 2 Gig, while the 1.2 Gig plan is available across the same 74.7% coverage area; check your address because availability can vary, and cable upload speeds are more limited than download speeds.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Snohomish
Fiber offers excellent everyday performance, and Ziply Fiber’s top-tier Fiber 5 Gig plan provides up to 5000 Mbps both ways with a 98/100 Speed Score. That score is above Snohomish’s city average of 52, making Ziply Fiber a competitive choice for demanding use, though Fiber 5 Gig is available to about 50% of the city, so confirm fiber service at your address. Lower-priced options include up to 1000/1000 Mbps for $50/mo with a 79/100 score or up to 300/300 Mbps for $30/mo with a 71/100 score.

About Ziply Fiber
Ziply Fiber’s fiber service offers excellent everyday performance, including up to 5,000 Mbps both ways, making it a strong choice for households with heavy streaming, gaming, remote work, or many connected devices. Fiber plans are available to about 50% of Snohomish, so check your address first, since the provider’s broader coverage may not mean you can get fiber and slower alternatives may not meet modern needs.

THE TAKEAWAY
Our recommendation for Snohomish
Astound Broadband is a strong choice, especially where its fiber service is available. The fiber plan is a top-tier option with up to 2000 Mbps download and upload and a 90/100 Speed Score, while its cable plan is a solid option with up to 1500 Mbps download, 50 Mbps upload, and an 89/100 score, both well above Snohomish’s average top speed score of 52. Because technology availability varies by address, the fiber plan reaches only about 0% of the city, while the cable plan reaches about 20%, so confirm which option serves your home.

About Astound Broadband
Astound Broadband is a strong option where its faster cable or fiber service is available, but it is not a dependable choice citywide. Its cable plan offers up to 1500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload at about 20% of Snohomish addresses, while fiber offers up to 2000 Mbps both ways at select addresses; elsewhere, the up to 1000/10 Mbps copper plan may not be sufficient for modern households, so check your address for faster service first.

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