What we like
- Fastest residential plan in America
- No annual contracts
- Transparent pricing — Reviews.org praises Ziply for "clearly laying out all their plan prices"
- Active moderated subreddit (unusual for an ISP)
Watch out for
- $3,000+ to get online
- Single-digit adopters per month per Ziply CEO
- Occasional rate increases on existing customers
Three-year cost of ownership
At $900/mo plus $600 install, this plan totals about $33,000 over three years before any equipment costs. Compare that to a 1 Gbps plan from any provider in the $60–80/mo range, which would total about $2,200–$2,900. Whether the extra bandwidth is worth it depends on the upload work you actually do.
Who this is for
Flagship spec — buy as a statement. Symmetric fiber really matters if you upload video, run multi-camera conferencing, or back up large libraries to the cloud.

What you’ll need at home
- A 10 Gbps capable router with multi-gig WAN port (Wi-Fi 7 ideal).
- Cat6a Ethernet cabling between router and any device that needs full speed.
- Multi-gig Ethernet ports or USB adapter on the device measuring speeds — standard gigabit ports will bottleneck.
- 10G SFP+ optics matched to the ONT handoff.
- An ONT (optical network terminal). The provider installs and owns it.
