Spectrum vs Ziply Fiber in Pullman
In Pullman the real question isn’t price or speed, since Ziply Fiber wins both cheaper and faster, but whether fiber has actually reached your block.
Ziply Fiber wins this matchup in Pullman on nearly every metric: it’s faster (up to 6,000/6,000 Mbps where available), cheaper at $20/mo to start, reaches more of the city at ~50% coverage, and posts a near-perfect 99/100 speed score. Spectrum’s cable tops out at 1000/35 Mbps with a 79 speed score and reaches only ~27% of town. Choose Ziply if you can get it and want symmetrical fiber speeds for the money. Spectrum is the fallback where fiber hasn’t reached your block yet.
