At Ziply Fiber, our mission is to elevate the connected lives of our communities every day. We're
delivering the fastest home internet in the Northwest, with a focus on areas traditionally underserved by
mainstream internet companies. And as our state-of-the-art fiber network expands in WA, OR, ID and MT,

We may be building internet, but we are reaching real people. We strive to build relationships and provide
customers and communities with refreshingly great experiences.
We emphasize our values in all our interactions:
Genuinely Caring: Our customers and colleagues are people, and quite possibly our neighbors. We put
ourselves in their shoes and give them our full attention.
Empowering You: We empower our customers to choose the products that best meet their needs, and
we support our employees to implement solutions that elevate the experiences of our customers and
coworkers.
Innovation and Improvement: We always look for ways to make the experiences of our customers –
and each other – better.
Earning Your Trust: We earn trust by communicating simply and transparently as real people, not as a
corporation.
