WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2024 – An Internet Service Provider based in the Pacific Northwest announced a deal this week to acquire the regional fiber assets of another provider operating in the region.

The deal, announced Tuesday, would see Ziply Fiber acquire more than 7,000 miles of [fiber assets in the Pacific Northwest](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/ziply-announces-fiber-rich-400-gig-northern-link-route/) from Unite Private Networks, a regional service provider serving more than 300 communities with internet across 21 states from its headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.

“UPN has been a top-of-the-line provider of private fiber networks for more than 25 years (...) that really made this deal something that we were really excited to pursue,” Ziply Fiber CEO **Harold Zeitz** said. “Expanding our commercial footprint in the Northwest has been a priority for us this year.”

Ziply, based out of Kirkland, Wash., served more than 350,000 internet subscribers in 2023 across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, [according to the company](https://ziplyfiber.com/~/media/residential/resources/media-kit/Media-Kit.pdf?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com).

UPN is owned by [Cox Communications](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/isps-challenge-court-decision-in-cox-copyright-lawsuit/), an Atlanta-based ISP with about 6.5 million subscribers. Neither UPN nor Ziply provided the price of the transaction.
