Gig-speed fiber internet and fiber-based phone services now available to nearly 1,000 residences and businesses with thousands more on the way
Kirkland, Wash. (December 1, 2021) – Ziply™ Fiber today announced that its ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network is now ready for service in Woodland, Wash., enabling “Gig-speed”, or Gigabit fiber connectivity to nearly one-thousand residences and businesses for the first time ever. The company will continue its work building the fastest residential internet available in the region over the next several weeks. By the time the company’s construction is complete, Ziply Fiber will have built fiber connectivity to more than 3,500 locations, giving area residents access to the company’s ultra-fast fiber internet and phone services.
“Ziply Fiber is proud to be investing in Woodland and helping bring the speed and reliability of fiber internet to local businesses, families and individuals,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “We’re confident that residents and businesses will see immediate connectivity improvements when they sign-up for service on our brand-new fiber-optic network, and we are thrilled to make Woodland our next Gig-speed city.”
With no data caps and no annual contracts for residential users, Ziply Fiber’s service launch comes at a time when more and more families and businesses are looking for fast and reliable internet to support the online needs of daily life in today’s world. Those who wish to check their address for fiber availability, or who would like to sign-up to be alerted when fiber internet is available at their home or business, can register at ziplyfiber.com/woodland.
The work in Woodland is part of Ziply Fiber’s commitment to invest more than $500 million over the next two to three years to build an advanced, 100-percent fiber network to both suburban and rural communities across the Northwest that have been underserved when it comes to internet access. The company has been actively building fiber across the Northwest since June 2020 and has plans to build and deploy new fiber-optic cables, local hubs, new offices, and new hardware to run the network as part of hundreds of additional projects across its 250,000-square-mile footprint.
Ziply Fiber’s primary service offerings are Fiber Internet and phone for residential customers, Business Fiber Internet and Ziply Voice services for small businesses, and a variety of Internet, networking, and voice solutions for enterprise customers. The company will continue to support Ziply Internet (DSL) customers and its TV customers in Washington and Oregon. A full listing of products and services can be found at ziplyfiber.com.
Ziply Fiber is local in the Northwest, headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, and has major offices in Everett, Washington; Beaverton, Oregon; and Hayden, Idaho. Most of Ziply Fiber’s executive team, which consists of former executives from AT&T, CenturyLink, and Wave Broadband, either grew up in the Northwest or have spent the better part of 30 years living here. That local ownership and market familiarity is an important part of the company mindset and culture.
