Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Puyallup

Ziply Fiber is cheaper and dramatically faster where it reaches, but Xfinity covers nearly the whole city while Ziply serves just over half of Puyallup.

The 30-Second VerdictUpdated August 7, 2026

Ziply Fiber is the better deal where you can get it: symmetrical speeds up to 10,000 Mbps, a top speed score of 100, and a starting price of just $20/mo. The catch is reach, since it only covers about 54% of Puyallup. Xfinity counters with near-universal ~99% coverage, up to 2,000/300 Mbps, and a 95 speed score for $40/mo. Choose Ziply if fiber reaches your address and you want value plus upload muscle; choose Xfinity if you need a provider that’s almost certainly available.

Which is better for…

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

Ziply Fiber
Fiber’s symmetrical 10,000 Mbps and top speed score of 100 mean low, steady latency and fast uploads for streaming your own play, where available.

Video calls
Ziply Fiber
Video calls lean on upload speed, and Ziply’s symmetrical fiber gives far more headroom than Xfinity’s 300 Mbps upload, where available.
Just the basics
Ziply Fiber
At $20/mo it’s the cheaper entry point, and even its lower tiers cover email, browsing, and everyday streaming with room to spare if fiber reaches you.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ziply Fiber available at my address in Puyallup?

Ziply Fiber reaches about 54% of Puyallup, so there’s a little better than a coin-flip chance it serves your address, while Xfinity covers roughly 99% of the city. Because fiber availability changes block to block, enter your exact address on both providers’ sites to confirm before you compare plans.

Which is cheaper in Puyallup, Xfinity or Ziply Fiber?

Ziply Fiber starts at $20/mo versus Xfinity at $40/mo, so Ziply is the cheaper headline price. These are promotional starting rates, so before signing confirm the post-promo rate, any equipment fees, and whether a contract is required with each provider.

Which is faster and is it enough for gaming, WFH, and 4K?

Ziply Fiber is faster, offering symmetrical speeds up to 10,000 Mbps and a speed score of 100 versus Xfinity’s up to 2,000/300 Mbps and a 95 speed score, where available. Both are more than enough for 4K and working from home, but if you upload a lot or game competitively, pick fiber if it reaches you.

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.
