Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Redmond
Ziply Fiber is cheaper and dramatically faster where its fiber reaches, but Xfinity’s cable covers far more of Redmond, so availability may decide this for you.
Ziply Fiber wins on raw performance and price: $20/mo for up to 6,000/6,000 Mbps symmetrical fiber and a 99/100 speed score beats Xfinity’s $40/mo cable topping out at 2,000/300 Mbps. But Ziply only reaches about 64% of Redmond, while Xfinity covers roughly 89%. Ziply is the pick if fiber has reached your block and you want the fastest, cheapest, most balanced connection. Xfinity is the safer bet for wide availability and still-strong speeds where fiber hasn’t landed yet.
