Ziply Fiber availability in Washington, Oregon and Idaho

Five states, three that matter

In the FCC National Broadband Map as of June 30, 2026 (file revision of November 10, 2026), Ziply Fiber lists 968,069 broadband serviceable locations, 0.8%¹ of all US locations. A location is a house, an apartment building or a small business; "listed" means Ziply says it serves it or could install service within ten business days.

The footprint is regional. Washington holds 593,206 of those locations, 23.0% of the state's total, and Oregon 291,898, or 19.2%. Idaho follows with 70,093 (9.1% of the state) and Montana with 12,866. Wyoming appears with 6¹ locations. Outside these five states the filing lists no locations.

Four of the five are the states of Frontier's former Northwest operations. Frontier's Form 8-K of May 1, 2020 reports the sale of "its operations and associated assets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana" to Northwest Fiber, LLC. BCE Inc. completed its acquisition of Ziply Fiber on August 1, 2025. The June 2026 filing still lists Northwest Fiber, LLC as the holding company.

In both of its main states Ziply has the largest fiber footprint of any provider: fiber at 17.0% of Washington's locations, against 14.0% for AT&T, and at 18.7% of Oregon's, against 14.4%. By reach of any technology it is smaller than the wireless carriers and Xfinity, whose cable reaches 66.9% of Washington and 52.0%¹ of Oregon.

The name says fiber; nearly a fifth of the listings are not

Ziply's filing lists two brand names, Ziply Fiber and Ziply Wireless, and four technologies. A location can appear under more than one.

Technology	Locations	At 100/20 Mbps or more	Fastest advertised download (Mbps)
Fiber	789,306	789,306	10,000
DSL (copper)	12,997	0	115
Licensed fixed wireless (incl. 5G home)	146,031	5	100
Unlicensed fixed wireless	76,616	0	50

• Fiber to the premises at 789,306 locations. Every one of them, 789,306, is filed at 100/20 Mbps or more, with advertised downloads up to 10 Gbps.
• Licensed fixed wireless at 146,031 locations, advertised up to 100 Mbps. Only 5 of them reach 100/20.
• Unlicensed fixed wireless at 76,616 locations, advertised up to 50 Mbps; none reaches 100/20.
• DSL over copper telephone lines at 12,997 locations, advertised up to 115 Mbps, with 0¹ at 100/20.

The split is sharp. A Ziply listing is either fiber at 100/20 or better, or a slower service that almost never reaches that speed. Statewide, Ziply's share at 100/20 equals its fiber share: 17.0% of Washington's locations and 18.7% of Oregon's. The gap between those figures and its total reach (23.0% and 19.2%¹) is the part of the footprint that is not fiber, and it is larger in Washington.

Spokane: wide reach, little fiber

The clearest example is the Spokane area, where Ziply's footprint is mostly wireless. In Spokane, Ziply is listed at 52.3% of locations, but at 100/20 Mbps at 0.0%. In Spokane Valley it is listed at 88.4% of locations and reports fiber at 0.3%; its technologies there are fiber and licensed fixed wireless and unlicensed fixed wireless¹.

Fiber in Spokane comes from other networks. Fiber of any provider reaches 76.9% of the city's locations, with AT&T reporting fiber at 56.4% and TDS at 48.7%. In Spokane Valley, fiber reaches 20.6%, and 71.9%¹ of locations have a single wired provider at 100/20. Someone who sees "Ziply Fiber" in a list of providers for an address in either city should check the technology on the FCC map.

Fiber up, footprint down: change since 2022

Between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2026, Ziply's fiber footprint grew by 164,623 locations, while its footprint of any technology changed by −235,393³. In 2022 roughly half of its listed locations had fiber; in June 2026, more than four in five do. The same pattern holds in the latest six months: since December 31, 2025, fiber grew by 25,377 and the total changed by −78,388⁴.

The state table gives each state's count against June 2022. Washington, Oregon and Idaho all show fewer locations than in 2022; Montana, and Wyoming with its handful of locations, are the only states where the count rose.

The filings do not say why listings disappear. A provider can stop reporting a slower technology, retire copper, or lose locations when the FCC revises its location list, which it does with every release. What the data do show is that Ziply's listings are now concentrated on fiber in a way they were not in 2022.

Across all providers, both main states moved in the same direction:

Washington's fiber share rose from 28.2% to 39.4% and its DSL share fell from 70.8% to 36.8%. Even so, Washington ranks 3rd lowest among the states and DC for fiber. Oregon's fiber share went from 39.1%³ to 55.2%¹. These are statewide figures for every provider; they do not split the change by company.

Suburbs, not the big cities

Ziply's fiber is concentrated in suburban cities of Puget Sound and the Portland area rather than in Portland, the region's largest city. Among the 343 cities of 100,000 or more, the table lists its share of locations in each; the technology column shows where that share is fiber.

• Hillsboro, Oregon: fiber at 88.7% of locations, advertised up to 10 Gbps. Xfinity is listed at 99.4%, and 28.7% of locations have two or more fiber networks.
• Everett, Washington: fiber at 82.8%, up to 10 Gbps. Here Ziply is nearly the only fiber: two fiber networks overlap at 0.5% of locations.
• Gresham, Oregon: fiber at 74.7%, up to 6 Gbps.
• Vancouver, Washington (14.7%), Billings, Montana (12.2%) and Bellevue, Washington (9.6%¹) have Ziply fiber in parts of the city only.

In Portland the filing lists 671 locations, 0.4%¹ of the city.

Where Ziply is the only line at 100/20

At 35,434 locations, Ziply is the only wired provider filing 100/20 Mbps. That is 0.7% of Washington's locations and 0.6% of Oregon's. In Everett, Hillsboro and Gresham the share is 0.4%¹ or less, because Xfinity is listed at almost every location in those cities.

What these numbers are

Ziply's figures on this page come from its own filing with the FCC as of June 30, 2026, revision of November 10, 2026; the all-provider figures for states and cities come from the same release. Speeds are maximum advertised speeds, not measured ones. A listing that looks wrong can be challenged on the FCC National Broadband Map. The data contain no prices or plans; Ziply publishes those on the broadband facts label for each plan.
