Bellevue in Washington
Bellevue has fast wired internet almost everywhere, but mostly from one company. Xfinity's network reaches 99.3% of the city's homes and businesses and is the only wired option at 100/20 Mbps for 63.6% of them, while fiber reaches 27.4%1, a lower share than in Seattle, in Washington as a whole or in most large American cities.
Bellevue's providers, by share of locations
As of June 30, 2026, the FCC counts 35,228 homes and businesses inside Bellevue's city limits (as drawn for the 2020 Census). 5 companies report wired service at some of them, but only one wired network reaches nearly all: Xfinity's cable, at 99.3% of locations. CenturyLink reports DSL at 39.8%, AT&T reports fiber at 17.2% and fixed wireless across a wider area, and Ziply Fiber reports fiber at 9.6%1.

Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of the area's broadband serviceable locations where the provider reports service as of June 30, 2026. "Only wired option" is the share of locations where it is the single wired provider at 100/20 Mbps. Provider-reported and challengeable; speeds are advertised maximums, not measured; no prices. Satellite providers (HughesNet, Viasat, Starlink) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
Shares in the table come from the FCC file revision of November 10, 2026. Each one is what the provider reported: a company lists a location if it says it could connect it within ten business days, and residents can dispute that listing on the FCC map. Look up a specific apartment or house there, not here. HughesNet, Viasat and Starlink list satellite service at almost every Bellevue location; the coverage and choice figures on this page leave satellite out.
One cable network at most addresses
Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.6% of Bellevue's locations. At 63.9% of them, exactly one wired provider offers that speed, a share that ranks tied for 31st highest among the 343 large cities, and almost always it is Xfinity, the only wired 100/20 provider at 63.6% of locations. Two or more wired choices exist at 35.7%, against 40.0% statewide and 82.8%1 in Seattle.

The single-wire share has fallen since the first National Broadband Map, from 73.0%2 of locations as of June 30, 2022 to 63.9%, while fiber's share rose. Nearly all of that change happened before December 2025; in the latest six months the share moved by 0.2 percentage points1.
Fiber in two separate footprints
Fiber from any provider reaches 27.4% of Bellevue's locations, below Washington's 39.4%; among the large cities, that share ranks tied for 27th lowest. It comes mainly from two companies whose networks barely overlap: two or more fiber providers are reported at only 0.4%1 of locations.

The larger of the two footprints has a new name on it. On February 2, 2026, AT&T took over Quantum Fiber and the rest of Lumen's residential fiber business, while Lumen held on to its copper lines, as Lumen told the Securities and Exchange Commission. The FCC data for Bellevue show the handover directly: fiber that CenturyLink listed as of December 31, 2025 is listed by AT&T as of June 30, 2026. AT&T now reports fiber at 17.2% of the city's locations and advertises up to 8 Gbps on it. AT&T had reported no Bellevue service at all in June 2022; its fixed wireless arrived before the fiber did. The smaller footprint is Ziply Fiber's, at 9.6% of locations, advertising up to 6 Gbps1.
DSL fell by more than half
DSL over copper telephone lines has been shrinking in Bellevue's data. It was reported at 85.6% of locations as of June 30, 2022 and at 39.8% as of June 30, 2026, a fall of 45.8 percentage points. What remains is almost all CenturyLink's, which offers 100/20 Mbps at only 8.6% of the city's locations. Over the same period, fiber rose from 17.4%2 to 27.4%1.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Share of broadband serviceable locations where at least one provider reports the technology, at any speed; a location can have several. Satellite is reported almost everywhere and is left out.

The 1,000/100 tier arrived on cable
The largest change in Bellevue's data is in speed, not in who serves the city. Service at the FCC's 1,000/100 tier, a 1 Gbps download with an upload of at least 100 Mbps, was advertised at 9.5% of locations in June 2022 and is advertised at 93.5% now. The gain of 84.0 percentage points ranks tied for 53rd highest among large cities. Because fiber covers only 27.4% of locations, most of the tier is advertised over Xfinity's cable network. Symmetrical wired service of 100/100 Mbps or more went from 17.4%2 to 94.2%1 of locations.

Top download tiers moved up in step. Back in 2022, 99.2%2 of Bellevue's locations had a fastest advertised download somewhere from 940 Mbps to just under 2 Gbps. Now 93.5%1 have 2 Gbps or more on offer. Every figure here is a ceiling the provider advertises in its FCC filing; nobody measured it on a line.
Fixed wireless from the cellular carriers
Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 92.2% of Bellevue's locations by 3 companies. T-Mobile reports it at 80.9% and offers 100/20 Mbps at 47.7%; Verizon reports 47.4%, with 100/20 at 17.1%; AT&T's fixed wireless covers much of the area its fiber does not. Fixed wireless is the only service at 100/20 Mbps for 0.2%1 of locations. Being listed is not the same as being able to subscribe: everyone near a tower draws on the same radio capacity, so the carriers ration new accounts one address at a time.
Bellevue beside nearby cities
The large cities around Lake Washington and Puget Sound fall into two groups. Seattle and Everett have fiber at most locations and two or more wired choices at most addresses; Bellevue, Renton and Kent are cable-first cities where a single wire is the norm. The fiber chart above covers one side of that split; the table below adds choice and speed.
| Area | One wired choice | Two or more wired choices | Gigabit (1,000/100) | Wired 100/100 Mbps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bellevue, Washington | 63.9% | 35.7% | 93.5% | 94.2% |

Households: wired subscriptions are common
What households subscribe to is a separate question from what is on offer, and it comes from a different source: a Census Bureau survey of households in 2025. In Bellevue, 87.4% of households had a cable, fiber or DSL subscription (margin of error ±5.3 percentage points); among large cities, that estimate ranks tied for 20th highest. A cellular data plan was the only connection for 6.5% (±1.9 percentage points), which ranks tied for 7th lowest, and 4.7% had no subscription at all (±2.0 percentage points4). These are sample estimates, so cities a few ranks away may not truly differ.

Availability is a share of locations as of June 30, 2026 (FCC); subscriptions are a share of households from the American Community Survey, 2025 (whiskers: 90% margin of error). Different units and dates: read the gap as a sign, not an exact number.

Checking one address in Bellevue

If a provider is listed there but cannot actually connect you within ten business days, or the location is missing or misplaced, the map has a button to file a challenge; providers must respond, and corrections flow into later releases. Prices and plans are not part of the FCC data: each provider must show them on its broadband facts label at the point of sale.
