Vancouver in Washington
Vancouver faces Portland across the Columbia River, but its wired market looks different. Xfinity's cable reaches 99.6% of the city's homes and businesses and is the only wired provider offering 100/20 Mbps at 48.3% of them. Fiber reaches 42.9%1, up from 33.9%2 six months earlier, split among three companies whose networks rarely overlap.
Providers reporting service, June 2026
The FCC counts 53,682 homes and businesses inside Vancouver's city limits as drawn for the 2020 Census. As of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), one wired network reaches almost all of them: Xfinity reports service at 99.6%, over cable except for a small fiber footprint (0.2%), with advertised downloads of up to 2 Gbps1. Every other wired company covers part of the city.

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 reports a location when it can install service there within ten business days, and anyone can challenge that report on the FCC map. The three satellite companies report every location in the city and are left out of the figures below.
Three fiber companies, rarely on the same street
Fiber in Vancouver comes from three companies whose networks mostly reach different addresses. Two or more fiber networks overlap at only 0.3% of locations; among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, that share ranks tied for 68th lowest1.
- AT&T reports fiber at 24.7% of locations, with downloads advertised up to 8 Gbps. In the December 31, 2025 data this fiber was reported by CenturyLink. Lumen, CenturyLink's parent, 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 lines, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CenturyLink now reports only DSL here, at 48.1% of locations, with 100/20 Mbps at 12.2%.
- Ziply Fiber reports fiber at 14.7% of locations, up to 6 Gbps. In the June 2022 map it reported fiber at fewer than a hundred locations in the city.
- Ezee Fiber reports fiber at 3.4%, up to 8 Gbps. It reported no Vancouver locations in June 2022. Most of its national footprint is in Texas1.
Fiber in the city rose from 18.6% of locations in June 2022 to 33.9% in December 2025 and 42.9% in June 2026. The gain of 9.0 percentage points in the latest six months is the 21st highest1 among large cities. As fiber spread, the share of locations with only one wired provider at 100/20 Mbps fell from 68.4%3 in 2022 to 56.0%2 in December 2025.

Half the city has one wired option
Wired service of 100/20 Mbps or more is reported at 99.7% of Vancouver's locations. What varies is how many companies offer it. Even after the fiber gains, only one wired provider does at 48.3% of locations, the 68th highest share among large cities, and almost always that provider is Xfinity: it is the sole wired 100/20 option at 48.3% of the city's locations. Two wired providers compete at 47.6%, and three or more at 3.7%1.
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.

| Washington | 11.5% | 48.5% | 34.0% | 6.0% |
| United States | 7.8% | 36.6% | 44.6% | 11.1% |
The single-wire share in Vancouver equals Washington's (48.5%) and is well above the national 36.6%. Only 1701 locations in the city have no wired provider at 100/20 Mbps.
Portland, across the river
The two cities sit in one metropolitan area, yet the FCC data for them differ sharply. Portland has fiber at 79.5% of its locations, nearly twice Vancouver's 42.9%, and 80.1% of Portland locations have two or more wired providers at 100/20 Mbps, against 51.3%1 in Vancouver. In the same data, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane all have higher fiber shares and more wired choice than Vancouver.
| Area | Fiber available | One wired choice | Two or more wired choices | Two or more fiber networks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver, Washington | 42.9% | 48.3% | 51.3% | 0.3% |

Clark County, which surrounds the city, has fiber at 32.1% of its locations, the 19th lowest1 share among Washington's counties.
Gigabit tiers moved onto cable
In June 2022, gigabit service with uploads of 100 Mbps or more (the FCC's 1,000/100 tier) was advertised at 0.2%3 of Vancouver's locations. As of June 30, 2026 it is advertised at 96.9%, a rise of 96.8 percentage points. Among the changes in large cities, that ranks tied for 11th highest. With fiber at 42.9%, most of the tier now sits on Xfinity's cable lines. The fastest advertised download is 2 Gbps or more at 96.9% of locations, and symmetrical 100/100 Mbps service is advertised at 97.1%1. These are maximum speeds that providers advertise to the FCC, not measurements of a connection.

Home internet from the cellular carriers
Licensed fixed wireless, which includes 5G home internet, is reported at 87.5% of locations, a share that ranks tied for 37th lowest among large cities. T-Mobile reports it at 76.5%, advertising up to 100 Mbps, with 100/20 Mbps at 19.5%. Verizon reports 73.4%, up to 1 Gbps, with 100/20 at 27.5%1. AT&T's fixed wireless covers many addresses outside its fiber area. A reported location is not a promise of a sign-up: a cell sector's capacity is shared, and carriers limit new customers by address. The unlicensed radio networks that reported service at 76.5%3 of locations in June 2022 report none in the latest data.
What Vancouver households subscribe to
The Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey measures households, not locations. It found 95.2% of Vancouver households with a broadband subscription (margin of error ±1.6 percentage points) and 81.4% with cable, fiber or DSL (±2.6 percentage points). Another 12.3% relied on a cellular data plan alone. The share without any internet subscription, 4.7% (±1.6 percentage points4), is below the 2019 survey's 11.2% (±2.0 percentage points5), and the two ranges do not overlap.

Checking one address in Vancouver
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.
