Ziply VP Shares Details on Washington Public-Private Partnership

The latest broadband public-private partnership comes from Ziply, which will bring fiber broadband at speeds up to 50Gbps symmetrically to Camaro Island, Washington. The deployment will require an investment of almost half a million dollars, some of which will come from Ziply and some of which will come from Island County. The county will use funding that it obtained from the federal government via the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Ziply is rather unique in offering speeds up to 50Gbps symmetrically for residential customers. The lowest-cost plan that the company will offer is symmetrical 100 Mbps service, which costs $20 a month. Ziply’s operations are comprised, in large part, of assets that it purchased from Frontier. The company offers 10Gbps service across its entire fiber footprint.
