Ziply Fiber has invested hundreds of millions in network infrastructure since 2020, and the buildout continues. What started as a Pacific Northwest fiber network is now a nationally expanding backbone with long-haul routes reaching key markets across the Midwest and East Coast. Further expansion is already in progress.
The backbone is 400G-ready with at least three diverse routes into every major market. Metro fiber rings run through Seattle, Portland, Hillsboro, Boise and Spokane. Central offices are fully configured with 2N systems, and all internet circuits include standard DDoS mitigation.
Network utilization is actively managed at approximately 40% during peak hours. That means you have the headroom available to guarantee performance when your customers really need it.
Fiber core backbone capable of 20+ Tbps on all inter-city routes. Multiple 800-gigabit trunking to all major locations. At least three diverse wave routes into every major backbone location, with capacity managed at 40% peak utilization, so headroom is always there.
Sub-3ms core latency extends from the backbone to the aggregation layer. Multiple core routes reach the hub-site level, and the core is fully redundant to local aggregation networks, so your traffic doesn't degrade between the backbone and last mile.
We own and operate the network end to end. We control scheduled maintenance, routing decisions and capacity planning, so there are no third-party dependencies between your service and the infrastructure that runs it. When something needs to change, we change it.
Our Northern Link Route connects Seattle and Hillsboro east through Spokane and Minneapolis to Chicago and Ashburn. When you need true route diversity on cross-country segments, it's a meaningfully different option than what's typically available.
The route is 400G-capable, low-latency and actively used by carriers and infrastructure companies that can't afford single-path dependency on their most critical traffic corridors. If your architecture requires diverse long-haul routing rather than two paths that share the same physical right-of-way, Northern Link is worth a conversation.
