Kirkland, Washington (September 3, 2026)—America’s Fastest Home Internet provider, Ziply® Fiber, announced today that its new, ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network is ready for service in Fairfield, Washington. Service is available today to the first 200 addresses of the more than 500 currently in construction across the city. Construction to the remaining homes and businesses will continue over the next several weeks.

Why it Matters

The construction of this new fiber network is important because across much of the country, many communities still rely on outdated cable or copper infrastructure, which were never designed to handle today’s internet needs and speeds. With its true end-to-end fiber network, Ziply Fiber is ensuring cities like Fairfield have the infrastructure needed to support the increasing demands of today and for many years to come.

“Bringing Ziply Fiber’s 100-percent fiber network to Fairfield is a significant investment in how this community stays connected,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “Technology and the ways we use the internet are constantly changing, and this network gives local homes and businesses the fast, reliable connectivity they need today, with the capacity to keep pace with what comes next.”

What’s Next in Fairfield?

With work wrapping up soon in Fairfield, residents can expect several things.

Many residents may be unfamiliar with specifically what’s included with and available from Ziply Fiber as part of its various plans.

Ziply Fiber believes that everyone should benefit from amazingly fast, game-changing internet, not just people in big cities. That’s why the company has been investing hundreds of millions of dollars to build an advanced, 100-percent fiber network to underserved suburban and rural communities across the Northwest. Since June 2020, Ziply Fiber has built and/or is currently building fiber networks in more than 150 new fiber markets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, connecting more people and more communities to fast, reliable internet every day.
