Ziply Announces Fiber-Rich 400 Gig ‘Northern Link Route’

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2024 - A regional Internet Service Provider has announced a new ultra-high-speed fiber route connecting several cities in the American northwest to Minneapolis and Chicago. 

The “Northern Link Route” was constructed by the Kirkland, Wash., based Ziply Fiber and will provide commercial customers with 400 Gigabit service from the Pacific coast in the West to Chicago in the East. The company touted its new route as a low-latency, high-capacity long-haul transport route connecting Hillsboro, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Missoula, Billings, Minneapolis, Chicago and dozens of other major cities in between.

The company asserted that the route will provide customers with the lowest-latency connection route to the midwest. It also noted that the route will not be as susceptible to natural disasters, given its subterranean location.
