Chelan, WA Internet Speeds — Measured 2024
Real speed tests run in Chelan County, Washington during 2024 recorded a median download of 87.1 Mbps, upload of 38.7 Mbps and latency of 8.0 ms, across 4,982 measurements. That is 1.0× the US median and places it #1,137 of 2,425 US counties.
What these numbers mean here
The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Chelan came in below 87.1 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 35.4 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 140.0 Mbps — a spread that usually reflects a mix of fibre, cable and older DSL lines in the same area rather than one uniform service level.
At 87.1 Mbps down and 38.7 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 8.0 ms is excellent for gaming and real-time calls.
