Kent in Washington
Fiber reaches a smaller share of homes and businesses in Kent than in almost any other large American city, and a much smaller one than in King County around it. It is reported at 15.9% of the city's locations, and Xfinity's cable is the only wired option at 100/20 Mbps for 78.3%1 of them. Two fiber networks, one new to the city since 2022, now offer a second wire on some streets.
Xfinity, the carriers and two small fiber networks
The FCC counts 31,976 homes and businesses inside Kent's city limits (as drawn for the 2020 Census). As of June 30, 2026, in the revision of November 10, 2026, Xfinity reports service at 99.1% of them. Three companies follow with wireless or mixed footprints: Verizon at 76.7% and T-Mobile at 71.9%, both with fixed wireless, and AT&T at 54.7%. CenturyLink still reports copper DSL lines at 47.0%. Ezee Fiber reports a smaller footprint, at 9.2%1, but every location in it is fiber.

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 (Viasat, Starlink, HughesNet) report service at nearly every location and are left out of the table.
A provider's share is the share of locations where it reports that it serves or could install service within ten business days. It is not a guarantee at any address, and reports can be challenged on the FCC map.
Most addresses still have one wire
Wired service of at least 100/20 Mbps is reported at 99.2% of locations, so speed is rarely the gap in Kent; choice is. At 78.3% of locations exactly one wired provider offers 100/20 Mbps, the 10th highest share among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more. Washington's share is 48.5%, the national share 36.6%1. Almost everywhere in Kent, that one wire is Xfinity's.

Where a second wired option exists, it is usually one of the fiber networks described below. Locations with two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps went from 10.7%2 in June 2022 to 20.8% as of June 30, 2026, a change of +10.1 percentage points. Three or more wired choices remain rare, at 2.6%1.
Fiber: well below King County
Fiber from any provider reaches 15.9% of Kent's locations, the 9th lowest share among large US cities. That is under half of Washington's 39.4% and far below King County's 47.6%, which includes Seattle at 79.9%. Neighboring Renton is lower still at 10.5%1.

The share has tripled from a low base: 5.4%2 in June 2022, 11.4%3 at the end of 2025, 15.9% now. Two networks account for most of it. Ezee Fiber, absent from the first map, reports fiber at 9.2% of locations, with advertised downloads up to 8 Gbps. AT&T reports fiber at 8.7%. Xfinity adds a small fiber footprint of its own (0.4%). The networks rarely overlap: only 2.4%1 of locations have two or more fiber providers.
The fiber that changed name
AT&T's fiber in Kent was CenturyLink's until 2026. Lumen, CenturyLink's parent company, completed the sale of its consumer fiber-to-the-home business, including Quantum Fiber, to AT&T on February 2, 2026, and kept its copper-based consumer services, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the June 30, 2026 FCC data, CenturyLink reports only DSL in Kent, and AT&T reports the fiber.
That copper network has been shrinking in the FCC data. DSL was reported at 77.7%2 of Kent's locations in June 2022 and at 47.0% as of June 30, 2026. CenturyLink's DSL is advertised at up to 140 Mbps, and reaches 100/20 Mbps at only 5.6%1 of locations.

Fast uploads arrived on cable
The speed figures changed more than the coverage figures. In June 2022, gigabit service with uploads of at least 100 Mbps (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) was advertised at 0.0%2 of Kent's locations. As of June 30, 2026 it is advertised at 68.0%, and wired service of at least 100/100 Mbps at 68.8%. Fiber reaches only 15.9%, so most of those locations are on Xfinity's cable network, which now reports upload speeds of 100 Mbps and more where it reported far less in 2022. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 68.0% of locations and around 1 Gbps at 31.1%1.

These are maximum speeds that providers advertise and report to the FCC, not measurements of what a connection delivers.
Fixed wireless from Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T
Licensed fixed wireless, the category that includes 5G home internet, is reported at 91.3% of Kent's locations, against 94.0%2 in 2022. Verizon reports it at 76.7% of locations and offers 100/20 Mbps at 28.3%; T-Mobile reports 71.9%, with 100/20 at 22.9%1. Most of AT&T's footprint in the city is also fixed wireless. A tower sector's capacity is shared, so the carriers accept or refuse new customers address by address; a reported location is not an assured sign-up.
The few locations without fast service
Kent is not entirely covered at 100/20 Mbps. 192 locations, or 0.6%, have no terrestrial provider reporting that speed; among large cities that share ranks tied for 143rd highest. For 79 locations, fixed wireless is the only service at 100/20 Mbps, and 311 locations are reported with satellite service only.

What Kent households subscribe to
The Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey counts households rather than locations. It estimates that 96.5% of Kent households had a broadband subscription of some kind (margin of error ±2.0 percentage points). 79.7% subscribed to cable, fiber or DSL (±4.0 percentage points), 13.5% relied on a cellular data plan alone (±3.5 percentage points) and 3.5% had no subscription (±1.9 percentage points4). The margins are wide enough that small differences from other cities may not be real.
Kent is in King County, where fiber reaches 47.6%1 of locations; the Washington page has every county. Bellevue and Tacoma show how the same cable network looks with more fiber beside it.

Checking one address in Kent
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.
