Xfinity vs Ziply Fiber in Snohomish
Ziply Fiber undercuts Xfinity on price and delivers symmetrical multi-gig speeds, but which one actually reaches your Snohomish block decides the winner.
Ziply Fiber is the stronger pick for most Snohomish households: it starts at $20/mo, tops out at a symmetrical 6,000 Mbps where available, and slightly edges Xfinity on coverage (~78% vs ~75%) and speed score (99 vs 95). Xfinity’s cable plans still reach up to 2,000/300 Mbps at $40/mo and cover most of the city, making it a solid fallback where fiber hasn’t been built. If Ziply is on your block, take the cheaper, faster fiber; if not, Xfinity is a capable alternative.
