Kirkland, Washington (September 26, 2024) – Ziply® Fiber, home to America’s Fastest Home Internet, today announced that it has begun construction of a new, ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network in Colville, Washington. The network, which became available today to the first 500 addresses will serve nearly 1,300 homes and businesses across the city when construction is complete in the coming weeks.
Residential customers in all fiber markets can access speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 50 Gig. All Ziply Fiber plans offer symmetrical download/upload speeds and have no contracts or data caps. The company’s entry-level Fiber 100 plan exceeds the minimum residential broadband speed required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the company’s 50 Gig plan is America’s Fastest Home Internet.
This launch means that as of today Colville now has the fastest household internet speeds in the nation, meaning customers at every speed tier can be confident they’re on the best and fastest network available. With household data usage across the U.S. expected to double every year, Ziply Fiber’s advanced network gives customers the great speed and reliable service they need for everything they want to do online today and into the future.
Residents and business owners can check for fiber availability at Ziplyfiber.com and sign up to be alerted when service is available at their location. Residential customers can switch to fiber internet for as little as $20 per month and receive a $50 bill credit for themselves and any new customer they refer.
