Seattle-based global network intelligence and connectivity insights leader, Ookla has named Xfinity the fastest Internet provider in Washington. The recently published Speedtest Global Index rankings, based upon consumer testing of Internet services in the United States in Q2 2022 through Ookla’s speed test website, showed Xfinity coming out on top in 12 states across the country, more than any other provider by a wide margin.

Xfinity’s median consumer-tested download speeds of 175.85 megabits per second (Mbps) across Washington were faster than the median speeds tested by other providers. Ookla’s report also provides a real-time view into the Internet speeds that consumers are actually experiencing based on the service tiers they select.

Xfinity Internet provides an unbeatable connectivity experience with the fastest download speeds, advanced cybersecurity protection, and total control over all the devices connected over WiFi in the home. Recently, Comcast began rolling out its Supersonic Gateway, capable of delivering speeds faster than a Gig and three times more capacity to connect hundreds of devices simultaneously. The new Supersonic WiFi gateway is WiFi 6E capable and is now available to Xfinity Internet Gigabit and Ultrafast customers across the U.S.
