Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Mount Vernon
Ziply Fiber undercuts Xfinity on price and offers symmetrical multi-gig speeds, but Xfinity’s cable still fills gaps where fiber hasn’t reached your Mount Vernon block.
Ziply Fiber is the stronger pick for most Mount Vernon homes: it starts at $20/mo, reaches roughly 75% of the city, tops out at a symmetrical 6,000 Mbps where available, and carries a 99/100 speed score. Xfinity is no slouch with a 95/100 score and up to 2,000 Mbps down, but its $40 starting price and ~58% coverage put it a step behind. Choose Ziply if it’s on your block and you want fiber value; keep Xfinity in your back pocket where fiber hasn’t reached yet.
