Ziply® Fiber expands America’s Fastest Internet, with speeds up to 50 Gig, to Sunnyside, Washington

First neighborhoods ready for service today; company’s multi-hundred Gig fiber network helps customers feel confident that any speed they choose will have best-in-class reliability

Kirkland, Washington (November 2, 2023) – 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 Sunnyside, Washington, which will serve more than 2,800 homes and businesses across the city when network 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 to more than 800 of those addresses with the remaining addresses coming online in the next few weeks. This means Sunnyside now has the fastest household internet speeds in the nation.
Elizabeth Alba, City Manager for Sunnyside, Wash., said, “The introduction of a fiber-optic network, now with speeds up to 50 Gig, closes the digital divide here in Sunnyside and ensures we have the broadband infrastructure necessary to support economic growth for decades to come.”
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.
I'm always excited to talk with customers after they’ve experienced what fiber can do for them, and the difference it makes from a reliability and speed standpoint,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “That’s why I’m particularly pleased to announce our rollout of America’s fastest home internet in Sunnyside. No matter what speed people choose, they can do everything they want to online at a great value with maximum reliability.”
