Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Bothell
Ziply Fiber offers cheaper, faster, symmetrical speeds where it reaches, but Xfinity’s cable covers more of Bothell block for block.
Ziply Fiber is the value and performance standout here: symmetrical speeds up to 6,000 Mbps where available, a 99/100 speed score, and a $20 starting price that undercuts Xfinity’s $40. The catch is reach—Ziply covers about 95% of Bothell versus Xfinity’s ~99%, so cable is the safer bet if fiber hasn’t hit your block. Choose Ziply if you can get it and want fast uploads for the least money. Choose Xfinity if you value the near-universal footprint and still-strong 2,000/300 Mbps cable.
