Kirkland, Washington (August 31, 2026)—America’s Fastest Home Internet provider, Ziply® Fiber, announced today its new, ultra-high speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network is ready for service in Kettle Falls, Washington. Service is available today to the first 350 homes and businesses of the more than 650 addresses being built across the city.

Why it Matters

The construction of this new fiber internet network is important because across much of the country, many communities still rely on outdated cable or copper infrastructure, which were never designed to handle today’s internet needs and speeds.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 Kettle Falls have the infrastructure needed to support the increasing demands of today and for many years to come.

“Ziply Fiber is proud to bring our 100-percent fiber network to Kettle Falls, delivering the fast, reliable connectivity that local households and businesses need to thrive,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “This investment is about more than internet speed. It’s about building lasting infrastructure that fuels economic growth, supports innovation and ensures the Kettle Falls community is connected for generations to come.”

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.

Since June 2020, Ziply Fiber has built and/or is currently building fiber networks in more than 170 new fiber markets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, connecting more people and more communities to fast, reliable internet every day.
