Ziply offers 5-gig speed in the Northwest

Ziply Fiber recently announced that after an initial rollout in Kirkland, Wash., it has begun offering ultra-high-speed 5-gig and 2-gig residential fiber internet service to nearly 170,000 residential customer addresses in 60 cities and towns across Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Cities in which Ziply Fiber’s multi-gig fiber service is now available include Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Bonners Ferry and Blanchard.

Ziply Fiber is the first company to introduce a 5-gig speed for residential services, making the company the fastest home internet service provider in the Northwest, according to a press release.

“While gig-speed connections work great for the majority of families, today’s announcement is about building for the future and our commitment to build the fastest, most reliable network ever constructed in the Northwest,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber.

Ziply Fiber began building out fiber in markets throughout the Northwest in 2020 and has announced 57 fiber construction projects since then.

The company plans to introduce its 5-gig and 2-gig service in Montana later in Q1 of 2022.

“Just like we manage our network to ensure there’s enough capacity to meet the needs of all of our customers, we’re also always looking to the future when it comes to bandwidth and capacity needs at home,” Zeitz said.
