Moving towns or switching internet providers can be confusing and stressful. Comparing internet providers against the averages in the Tacoma area can help you choose the right internet and get back to your life.

Tacoma Residential Internet Coverage

Tacoma is one of the largest cities in Washington, and many internet service providers have expanded their networks to include this growing city.

Fiber internet is available through Centurylink Prism. Some of the western neighborhoods covered by this provider include West End and South Tacoma. The DSL network of CenturyLink covers all of Tacoma, expanding beyond the city limits to neighboring cities east and south of the city.

The same is true for Xfinity, which includes the entire city of Tacoma within its central Washington service area.

Through Megapath, those living in North End, Northeast Tacoma, New Tacoma, Eastside, and South End have access to DSL internet.

Local provider Click! Network serves all of Tacoma with its cable network, and it is building out a fiber network in this area as well. Coverage stops at the northern city limits, not crossing the Chambers Bay. However, coverage is available on some island to the west of Tacoma.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
