Company building to nearly 29,000 addresses in first two markets alone;
Missoula, Helena and Butte launches not far behind
Kirkland, Washington (June 17, 2024) – Ziply® Fiber, home to America’s Fastest Home Internet, today announced a bold expansion throughout major cities in Montana, including both Billings and Great Falls, which both have new, ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic networks ready for service to thousands of residential and business customers today. Installations are underway in Billings and will begin in Great Falls later this week. These are the first two cities of at least five in the state with brand new, state-of-the-art fiber infrastructure being built by Ziply Fiber, which previously had only offered service in the communities of Libby and Troy.
When construction is complete, Ziply Fiber’s new network will serve nearly 19,000 homes and businesses in Billings and nearly 10,000 addresses in Great Falls. Ziply Fiber is hard at work on network expansion efforts in Missoula, Helena and Butte, as well. The company expects to launch those markets, with an additional 26,000 addresses, in the next few months.
Residential customers in all fiber markets can access speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 50 Gig (500 times faster and America’s Fastest Home Internet). All Ziply Fiber plans offer symmetrical download/upload speeds and the company’s entry-level Fiber 100 plan exceeds the minimum residential broadband speed required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with no contracts or data caps.
This means that as of today, both Billings and Great Falls now have 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 into the future.
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 and receive a $50 bill credit for themselves and any new customer they refer. Details can be found at referafriend.ziplyfiber.com.
“Expansion in Montana has been a long time coming and I’m so thankful that the day is finally here,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “I can’t tell you the number of people and business owners who have reached out to us asking when we’re coming and telling us stories of the limited options they have and what fast, reliable fiber will mean to them. Today we help fulfill that wish.”
