Internet Availability in Vancouver, WA

If you live in Vancouver, you have several wired internet providers available, though their coverage zones vary based on location. Here’s a look at two providers and where they have the most and least coverage.

CenturyLink is a fiber internet provider that services 1.5% of the city. It doesn’t have a strong presence in the city center, save for a few patches of availability. It has more accessibility north of the city, in areas like Hough and Arnada. It also has a stronghold near the Vancouver Waterfront by the Columbia River. If you live in Carter Park, however, you probably won’t have much luck finding CenturyLink.

Another wired internet provider in the city is Xfinity, which covers 98.6%. It covers the aforementioned areas where CenturyLink doesn’t have coverage, as well as areas farther west of the city center. The only patches of dead zones are the ones surrounding the city center and the area east of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Plaza.
