Everett in Washington
Everett is a two-wire city. Xfinity's network reaches 99.1% of its homes and businesses and Ziply Fiber's fiber 82.8%, so exactly two wired providers offer 100/20 Mbps at 82.0% of locations, while a third is reported at only 0.6%1.
Xfinity and Ziply Fiber, side by side
As of June 30, 2026, two wired networks reach most of Everett, according to the FCC's National Broadband Map. Xfinity reports service at 99.1% of the city's 27,363 homes and businesses, nearly all of it over its cable network, and Ziply Fiber reports fiber at 82.8%. Both advertise download tiers up to 10 Gbps somewhere in the city. Everything else is either wireless or very small: Astound reports wired service at 0.7%1 of locations, and the two remaining wired companies, Zayo and TPx, at a few dozen locations between them.
| Xfinity | Fiber Cable | 99.1% | 99.1% | 2 Gbps | 16.6% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ziply Fiber | Fiber DSL | 82.9% | 82.8% | 10 Gbps | 0.4% |

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 (Starlink, HughesNet, Viasat) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
The table lists each company's share of locations where it reports service, the measure the FCC collects. A location counts as covered when the provider says it could install service there within ten business days; the claim can be challenged on the FCC map, which is also the place to check one address.
Fiber at twice the state's rate
Fiber reaches 83.0% of Everett's homes and businesses, the highest share of any Washington city of 100,000 or more; Seattle follows at 79.9%. Washington as a whole has fiber at 39.4% of locations, the 3rd lowest share among the states and DC, and Snohomish County, which includes Everett, at 70.0%1.

| Seattle | 79.9% |

| Snohomish County | 70.0% |
| United States | 62.6% |
| Tacoma | 53.1% |
| Vancouver | 42.9% |
| Washington | 39.4% |
The city's fiber is close to a single network. Xfinity reports fiber at 0.2% of locations and Astound at 0.6%, so two separate fiber providers overlap at just 0.5%1. Where Ziply's fiber stops, the wired choice usually narrows to cable.
Two wires, rarely three
Exactly two wired providers offer at least 100/20 Mbps at 82.0% of Everett's locations, the 39th highest share among the 343 US cities of 100,000 or more. Nationally the figure is 44.6%. What Everett lacks is a third wire: three or more wired providers at that speed are reported at 0.6% of locations, against 6.0% statewide and 11.1%1 nationally.
Source: FCC, National Broadband Map, data as of June 30, 2026. Different wired providers (fiber, cable or DSL; FCC provider IDs) reporting 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up or more at the same location. Fixed wireless and satellite are not counted.

| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The other 17.0% of locations have a single wired option at 100/20 Mbps, and in practice that option is Xfinity: it is the only such provider at 16.6% of locations, Ziply Fiber at 0.4%. Locations with no wired 100/20 service at all are rare, at 0.5%1.
No other Washington city of 100,000 or more has exactly two wired choices at as large a share of its locations; Seattle comes closest at 73.6%. Tacoma has more addresses with three or more wired providers, at 52.7%1, while in Bellevue, Kent, Renton and Spokane Valley most locations have a single wired option at 100/20 Mbps.

Home internet from Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 91.8% of locations. Verizon reports service at 76.0% and offers 100/20 Mbps at 41.1%, with an advertised maximum of 1 Gbps. T-Mobile reports 77.3%, with 100/20 at 32.1%. AT&T, which reported no service in Everett in June 2022, now reports fixed wireless at 50.2%, with 100/20 at 6.6%. Any carrier offering 100/20 Mbps over licensed fixed wireless covers 58.5%1 of locations, up from 43.4%2 in 2022. Carriers limit sign-ups by address because a tower's capacity is shared, so these shares mark where service is reported, not where every home could subscribe at once.

Copper and older wireless left the map
The largest change since the first National Broadband Map, as of June 30, 2022, is what disappeared. DSL over telephone lines was reported at 99.1% of Everett's locations then and at 0.1% now. Unlicensed fixed wireless, sent over shared radio bands that need no license, fell from 90.5% to 0.0%. The number of wired providers reporting service in the city dropped from 42 to 31.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSL available | 99.1% | 0.2% | 0.1% | −99.0 pts |

| One wired choice | 19.5% | 17.0% | 17.0% | −2.6 pts |
Fiber moved much less, from 80.4%2 to 83.0%, a gain of 2.6 percentage points, one of the smaller increases among large cities, because most of the fiber was already reported in 2022. The share of locations with only one wired option at 100/20 Mbps fell by 2.6 percentage points1 over the same period. Between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, none of these shares moved by more than a few tenths of a point.
2 Gbps became the usual top tier
The fastest advertised download changed more than the networks did. In June 2022 the top tier at 94.2% of locations was between 940 Mbps and 2 Gbps; as of June 2026 the top tier is 2 Gbps or more at 95.4%. Gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) rose from 80.4% to 95.4%, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps wired service from 80.4%2 to 95.4%1.
| Measure | Everett | Washington | United States | Rank among largest cities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Gbps download | 99.5% | 88.3% | 91.0% | 110th of 343 |
| Gigabit (1,000/100) | 95.4% | 67.4% | 72.3% | 122nd of 343 |

The 100/100 share is larger than the fiber share, so symmetrical wired service is now advertised at some cable-only addresses as well. All of these are maximum speeds the providers advertise, not measurements of what a connection delivers.
Subscriptions since 2019
In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, 92.1% of Everett households had a broadband subscription of any type (margin of error ±3.3 percentage points), up from 87.7% in 2019 (±4.2 percentage points). Subscriptions to cable, fiber or DSL rose from 74.9%5 to 82.6% (±2.8 percentage points). In 2025, 9.0% relied only on a cellular data plan and 7.9% had no internet subscription (±3.2 percentage points4), too wide a margin to compare closely with other cities. These are survey estimates for households; the FCC figures above count locations on one date.

Checking one address in Everett
The figures on this page describe the whole area. Which providers report service at a single home or apartment is shown only on the FCC's own map: search the address at broadbandmap.fcc.gov. 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.
