This page offers guidance on what to expect from the speeds offered in Ziply Fiber’s most popular residential plans for fiber and DSL (copper) internet.
What influences internet speed
Regardless of the plan you choose, it’s helpful to understand that the internet-speeds you experience depend on many variables, including the number of connected devices and smart devices, types of online activities, the number of simultaneous users, and size of your home.
Comparing fiber internet plans
Fiber internet speeds are measured in megabits or gigabits per second (Mbps or Gbps). The higher the number, the faster your connection.
Here’s a simple breakdown of each option:

Which fiber plan is right for you?
- If you live alone or with one other person and use the internet mainly for emails, social media, and occasional streaming, Fiber 100/100 is sufficient.
- If you have a small family or multiple devices running at the same time, Fiber 300/300 provides a smoother experience.
- If your household has multiple gamers, streamers or remote workers Fiber Gig is a great choice.
- If you need top-tier speeds for intensive tasks or a tech-heavy household, 2 Gig Fiber is an excellent fit.
