Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Lynnwood

Ziply Fiber is cheaper and faster with symmetrical uploads where available, but Xfinity’s cable reaches nearly every Lynnwood address while Ziply covers about 94%.

The 30-Second VerdictUpdated August 7, 2026

Ziply Fiber is the value and speed winner in Lynnwood: $20/mo, symmetrical speeds up to 6,000 Mbps where available, and a 99/100 speed score. The catch is coverage—Ziply reaches about 94% of the city, so some blocks can’t get it yet. Xfinity covers essentially all of Lynnwood at 95/100 speed and up to 2,000/300 Mbps for $40. Pick Ziply if fiber reaches your address and you want the best deal; pick Xfinity if you want near-guaranteed availability.

Which is better for…

The right pick comes down to what you actually do online.

Gaming
Ziply Fiber
Fiber’s low, steady latency and symmetrical upload beat cable for online play, and its 99/100 speed score edges Xfinity’s 95/100—assuming fiber reaches your block.
Streaming
Xfinity
Both easily handle 4K, but Xfinity’s near-100% coverage means it’s available almost everywhere in Lynnwood, and up to 2,000 Mbps is far more than any stream needs.
Video calls
Ziply Fiber
Ziply’s symmetrical uploads up to 6,000 Mbps (where available) keep your camera sharp, while cable uploads top out at 300 Mbps.
Just the basics
Ziply Fiber
At $20/mo Ziply is the cheaper starting price, and even its entry fiber tiers are plenty for browsing and email—if it’s available at your address.

How we compare. Coverage is the share of a ZIP where a provider offers a genuinely good plan (≥ 1 Gbps download, ≥ 20 Mbps upload, non-satellite), from FCC Broadband Map serviceability data. “Fastest available” ranks the providers present in a ZIP by top advertised download speed. Pricing reflects current promotional starting rates. This is a working prototype; production copy is generated per matchup.
