Kirkland, Washington (March 4, 2024) – Ziply® Fiber, home to America’s Fastest Internet, today announced that it is constructing a new, ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network in Orient, Oregon, which will serve more than 1,000 homes and businesses across the community when construction is complete. Fiber internet – with speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to America’s fastest home internet at 50 Gig – is now ready for service the first 300 addresses in Orient today, with the remaining addresses coming online over the next several weeks.
This launch means that besides Orient now having access to the fastest household internet speeds in the nation, 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 well 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. When fiber is shown as available at their address, Ziply’s existing DSL customers can upgrade by calling 1-866-699-4759.
Residential customers can switch to fiber internet for as little as $20 per month and receive a $50 bill credit for themselves and any friend they refer. Details can be found at referafriend.ziplyfiber.com.
