85% of households in 20164 report a wired plan

Cable, fiber optic or DSL subscriptions show up in 85% of households in ZCTA 20164, against 76% across Virginia, according to the 2020-2024 ACS 5-year estimates. The survey records the kind of plan, never the company. It cannot tell you which of the Fiber-labeled companies, if any, will accept an order at a given address; only their own address answers do.

Nearby ZCTA 20194 reports a 94% cable, fiber optic or DSL share, against 85% in 20164.

Putting Verizon Fios, Xfinity and Cox Internet side by side

With every listed entry carrying the same Fiber label, the label alone will not separate the companies. Put the same short set of questions to each one about the same address:

• Does the order for my address name fiber as the connection, or a different type?
• Do the plans shown in the online lookup match what a representative confirms by phone?
• What work, if any, is scheduled at the house before service starts?

Spell the address the same way each time and write each answer next to the company's name. If the online result and the phone answer disagree, ask which one the order will follow.

While lining up the calls, keep Sterling internet providers open, and compare internet providers by company. To match a plan to the people and devices at home, the internet speed guide is one place to begin.
