We're expanding our fiber-optic network

Shortly before construction begins, our ambassadors will stop by homes to introduce Ziply Fiber and answer questions. A couple of days before beginning, construction crews will place more door hangers to let you know that Ziply Fiber’s network will be in the area soon.

As construction wraps up, Ziply Fiber will notify residents through mailers about when fiber internet will be available. Sales representatives may also go door to door to assist with signup.

The benefits of fiber internet may include higher property values, increased business growth and improved public services.

Fiber internet offers incredible advantages, but deploying it universally remains a challenge due to various factors, like permitting, density, regional priorities, funding and construction obstacles (such as difficult terrain).

Building a fiber network requires significant infrastructure investments, including underground cabling, network hubs and connection points. These projects can be time-intensive and costly, especially in areas with aging or limited existing infrastructure.

Certain geographical features, like mountains, dense forests or water bodies, can complicate the construction process. For example, laying cables under rocky terrain or across rivers often requires specialized techniques and higher costs.

ISPs look at factors such as community demand, potential revenue, existing infrastructure and government incentives to determine where to expand their networks. Demonstrated interest from residents and local governments often plays a key role in these decisions. Learn more here.

Federal and state programs, such as the FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF), offer grants to help bring fiber internet to underserved areas. Public-private partnerships and local initiatives can also play a critical role in funding fiber growth projects.

Communities that want to bring fiber-optic internet to their area can try to build demand and work with local leaders. Encouraging neighbors to express interest in fiber internet can demonstrate strong local demand, and partnering with city officials to apply for grants and collaborate with ISPs can make fiber deployment feasible.
