Kirkland, Washington (January 24, 2024) – Ziply® Fiber, home to America’s Fastest Internet, today announced that it has begun construction of a new, ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network in Springfield, Oregon, which will serve more than 8,500 homes and businesses across the city 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 900 addresses in Springfield today, with the remaining addresses coming online over the next several weeks.
This launch means that besides Springfield now having 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, giving them great speed and reliable service for everything they want to do online today and well into the future.
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.
