Hi, we're Ziply Fiber, and we're building the Northwest's best, fastest network for business. Here are just 4 reasons our new & improved fiber network is better: • Capacity management―With network usage capped at just 40%, there’s plenty of bandwidth to spare when upgrades are necessary or individual components fail. • Redundant core―Our core backbone is capable of 20+ TBps on all inter-city fiber routes, with fully redundant local aggregation networks & multiple fiber connections down to the hub site level. • Best, fastest network―We’re investing $500 million in the communities we serve, for the best connectivity experience now and in the future. • Regionally focused network―We’re local, with headquarters in Kirkland, WA, and offices in Everett; Yakima; Beaverton, OR and Hayden Lake, ID.
