TV and internet in Washington, DC
The capital city of the United States isn’t lacking for political discourse—or cable and internet providers. Washington, DC, is home to several major telecom companies, as well as a handful of independents. Securing a connection in DC is easier than passing legislation, for sure.
What are the best TV providers in Washington, DC?
- Xfinity—X1 DVR/receiver
- DIRECTV—Genie DVR allows up to 450 hrs. of HD storage
- DISH—Hopper 3 DVR/receiver
- Verizon Fios—Fiber-optic TV

What are the best internet providers in Washington, DC?
- Xfinity—Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide
- Verizon Fios—Fast fiber internet
- Astound—Eero Plus Wi-Fi security
- Atlantic Broadband—Low-priced plans
- Viasat—Fastest satellite internet
The Big Three of TV providers—Xfinity, DIRECTV, and DISH—cover the majority of Washington, DC, via cable and satellite. Verizon Fios (fiber-optic TV) and Astound (cable) each have a slightly smaller area footprint, but they still offer competitive TV service.
Xfinity and Verizon also come out on top for DC internet coverage and speed, but, while all of Xfinity’s internet connections are cable, not all of Verizon’s are fiber. In some parts of Washington, DC, Verizon offers only DSL internet service, so be sure to ask if you’re getting fiber or DSL.
FYI: Fiber and cable are the fastest internet connections available, followed by DSL (which uses telephone lines) and satellite (which uses a dish that can’t be shared with satellite TV). Like Xfinity, Astound, and Atlantic Broadband are cable-delivered internet, while Viasat is satellite-delivered internet.
