Internet provider frequently asked questions

Xfinity is the fastest internet provider in Kent with download speeds up to 3,000 Mbps. These speeds are available to 98% of households in Kent. The next fastest internet provider in Kent is CenturyLink, offering download speeds up to 940 Mbps to 85% of the area.

CenturyLink is the largest fiber-optic internet service provider in Kent, covering 4.676% of the city.

According to the FCC, 93% of households have access to three or more providers. In many areas, a cable, DSL, satellite and possibly fiber-optic provider may be available. You are unlikely, however, to find multiple providers of the same internet type, such as two cable providers, in the same location because operating expenses in an area already served by another provider can be too high to be profitable.

There are benefits to using your own router vs. buying or renting one from your internet provider, such as lower monthly costs and more product options. If you choose to use your own router, keep in mind that your internet provider’s tech support may not be able to fully assist you with your personal router. Select providers may not give you the option to use your own router.

If you suspect your slow speeds are the result of your internet provider throttling your connection, the easiest way to determine if you’re being throttled is to perform two speed tests. Run the first test on your regular network, then run the second one on a VPN. If the two speeds are drastically different (and the VPN test was higher), your internet provider may be throttling your speeds.
