What is the best internet provider in Kent, Washington?
Xfinity is the best internet service provider in Kent. It offers the fastest and cheapest plans in the city and is available almost everywhere. The main downsides are the presence of data caps and Xfinity’s steep price increases after a year or two.
It’s not widely available, but Quantum Fiber offers the best fiber internet in Kent. It gets you upload speeds as fast as download speeds, and equipment is included in every plan. Wireless internet from Verizon or T-Mobile is another decent option for smaller households, and you can save by bundling with an eligible cellphone plan.
Our methodology
CNET considers speeds, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service in Kent across several categories. Our evaluation includes referencing a proprietary database built over years of reviewing internet services. We validate that against provider information by spot-checking local addresses for service availability. We also do a close read of providers‘ terms and conditions and, when needed, will call ISPs to verify the details.
Despite our efforts to find the most recent and accurate information, our process has some limitations you should know about. Pricing and speed data are variable: Certain addresses may qualify for different service tiers, and monthly costs may vary, even within a city. The best way to identify your particular options is to plug your address into a provider’s website.
Also, the prices, speed and other information listed above and in the provider cards below may differ from what we found in our research. The cards display the full range of a provider’s pricing and speed across the US, according to our database of plan information provided directly by ISPs, while the text is specific to what’s available in Kent. The prices referenced within this article’s text come from our research and include applicable discounts for setting up automatic payments each month — a standard industry offering. Other discounts and promotions might also be available for things like signing a term contract or bundling with multiple services.
