Ziply Fiber (AS20055) is the Pacific Northwest fibre network built out of Frontier's Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana operations in 2020, and since August 2025 it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada's BCE, still run from Kirkland under its own management. Its carrier-facing arm trades as Wholesail Networks and is the part a colocation tenant actually deals with.

What it sells beyond residential fibre is genuinely useful inside its region: dark fibre, managed 100 and 400-gigabit wavelengths, Carrier Ethernet, IP transit and dedicated access over a backbone it holds near 40% utilisation at peak, plus small-scale colocation in its own central offices sized for one to ten cabinets. The build worth knowing about is the Northern Link, a 2,100-mile subterranean route running from Portland and Seattle through Spokane, Montana and Minneapolis into Chicago, which went live in April 2026 at a measured 39.5 milliseconds round trip between Seattle and Chicago. Its value is diversity — a path away from the commodity routes that share wildfire and storm exposure.
