Now that’s a great full process video
Thanks! Here is the digging part: th-cam.com/video/MsQ0ziHXivg/w-d-xo.html
YES! I get 1000/1000 at all times I love them
Good to know
Do you stil hiring? For fiber installer ftth i learn fiber or dsl i.m from philipine
I'm not the boss. I was getting fiber optics installed in my house.
That's awesome that he let you follow along.
I asked him about recording the process abd he was cool with it. I even told him that I'm a TH-camr.
Must be nice i have fiber and it was nothing like this i am paying for 1 gb and only get 200mbps
It sucks we don’t get the speeds we payed for going back to Xfinity
When I got Frontier Fiber I had them lay a long cable so I could dig and put it into the ground myself because it was going to take the dick people like a week before they could come out to my house and I figured I could have it done in like 3 hours it took me like 12 hours to do the whole thing but I'm pretty sure it's definitely in the ground because technically it's 3 ft which is only needed to be a foot but then again we have alot of trees around that cable so this makes it so roots and what not don't get into it. Plus I went out and got PC piping and we ran the cable through all of that so it goes animals that go under the ground that like to dig won't be able to chase him on cable or anything so with it being fiber and it being brand new most likely it's not going to be needed to be replaced for many many years. It's basically better than Frontier doing it but they still laid the cable down I just suggested the idea they had to reach out to their supervisor to make sure that got approved and the only thing I was told is they would run it the way I wanted it to and I could put it in the ground or whatnot as long as I didn't break the cable if I did and they had to come back out the replace it the cost would be on me so everything was pretty planned out like a week before this. It's amazing it's two gigs down two gigs up. 150 bucks a month before tax no modem fees or anything like that. Really wish Frontier technicians were the smart here in Southern Michigan half the time they come out to your house to look at your internet or hook new service up like they don't talk to you they're not very friendly. It's great to see some technicians actually treat their customers with respect and if they have any interest actually teach them a thing or two of what things are and how stuff works it's actually kind of cool. I mean heck a lot of these technicians here in Michigan are hooking up basic DSL internet and are getting pretty much $30 or better to drive around it's insane how much a technician can make and there might be some schooling or something that I have no idea nor do I understand the internet but to be able to basically sit in a van and drive around all day and get to talk to customers sounds amazing but the ones here you know go talk to you and things like that but again they're not too tech savvy anything outside of DSL because that's basically what they provide here in Michigan and when fiber does come I talk to many text years ago that said that they're going to have to get trained on fiber because they've never had it work for a company for 20 30 years but don't have any experience around fiber and that's what most isps are running off of nowadays so hopefully we get fiber one of these days they said around maybe 2025 for Frontier but there was a rumor a few years back over a few technicians actually talking about that they were trying to get service rolling because it's going to take them years they get through their coverage area especially replacing their DSL Network over the fiber which is probably going to be a pain in the neck but we'll have to wait and see
So do you have it working now? Aren't the download and upload speeds crazy fast? Once you switch to fiber optics, you'll never go back to cable internet or DSL.
Great video! I’ll be getting 1Gig Frontier fiber installed next week! Are you getting those speeds directly from the Frontier Router or from the Nighthawk router?
From the Frontier router. The Nighthawk router is outdated.
@@Jay_Rule awesome! Was debating on buying an aftermarket gig router or if the frontier router would be enough to provide true gig speeds, Thanks!
I’ve got their gigabit service as well.
Great stuff.
I absolutely love it for my Youtubing because I upload often
@@Jay_Rule So its true/dedicated fiber? What city are you in?
upgrading to gigabit this week for just $10 more at $59 a month....can't wait!

Is it possible to know how much did you end up spending? Im trying to get optic fiber install at home cause my internet is ass right now and its been like that for months and Cox wont fix.. My wife works from home, kids going to online school and one my kids plays competitive Fortnite and he gets so much Packet loss.. its ridiculous
Installation is free so I'm just paying $60 for the fiber optic 1Gbps speed and $10 router rental a month.
I am not sure at this point if the equipment is the same for every costumer, I got a little black box (IPC-2TCP-RPF) and the internet is unstable since everything is new and compatible routing equipment. by the time of this message I see ziply like crap.
Did you try restarting or resetting your router? Try unplugging it from the box. It's usually in the garage connected to the power. If all that doesn't work then I suggest contacting their tech support.
Ok why do they have to drill a hole on the ground ?
To bury the fiber optic line from the green controller box to the control unit where he installed on the side of my house. I'm sure there are technical names for these but I'm not expert.
@@Jay_Rule I heard not all cases are like that sometimes they can run the cable from the electric pole to the house , man I wonder if they need to drill a hole in my place for that though, my landlord has frontier but slow speed internet, how can I find out if Frontier needs to drill a hole
Currently waiting for a response from ziply about my terrible connection speed. When it was Fios I had solid speeds and could have multiple tabs open from videos to downloading files. Now I cant even have one mmo and another window open without one of them crashing. The price went up from $55-$80 with slow service. I hope this service does you well.
It's been solid since installation. The only issue I've been having is my is my PS4 not staying connected to the router via WiFi twice.
Ive also been having that issue.
It doesn't happen often but I'd rather deal with that than my internet not working with Comcast.
Ziply fiber bought Frontier's FIOS who bought some of Verizon's
putting wires into twisted pairs, twisted together,, cancels noise on the lines.
Thanks for the information.
Did Ziply provide you the fiber modem (the one outside the house) for free or do we need to rent that fiber modem?
All that stuff Ziply provided and installed
In Mexico fiber optics it enters directly into the home and connects to a single ONT / ROUTER here the ONT and ROUTER are not used separately avoid using double power supply
I think the distance between the two matters and my house is 3 levels.
is it worth it though i live in bothell washington and my current internet is trash also will it lower my ping?
How much are you already paying?
I am also in Bothell, I was reading the Yelp review and I am not sure if those are reasonable, seems like most of them are crybabies. Idk.
I love the service. I should've switched a year ago. I have no issues other than having to reset the router a few times because my PS4 was disconnected to the WIFI. I'm loving the superfast UL & DL speeds.
@@Jay_Rule i play games and get a load of packet loss with xfinity comcast and i also do video editing so it wouldn’t really matter if the internet went out once in a while if i don’t lag anymore
I’m in Tacoma and also get packet loss with Xfinity cable internet. I ran some tests and I can see that the hub for my neighborhood/area is saturated and getting packet loss. I just wish the infrastructure of Tacoma was built with fiber. And as far as I know, there’s no plans to upgrade the city or residential areas to fiber :/
hey i live in bothell washington it’s like a bowl of trees i live in, and i’m thinking of getting ziply gig do you think i would get the same speed as you?
It looks like the main HQ is in Kirkland. I imagine since Bothell is also a well populated city, the speeds should be similar. What do you mean by bowl of trees?
Jay Rule oh good, we’ll just surrounded by trees like quite a lot
The internet installers are the new cable/satellite installers now.
Well they probably know more about the hardware and technology so it makes sense
I am so frustrated, I live in Spain and today I installed Fiber in a hotel and I only got 34€ for 8 hours of work, as I had to line the cable through the roof of the buildings risking my life and after paying 10€ for parking and 20€ for gas, I ended up making 4 euros during the day.
I'm sorry you went through that. I'm sure the customer was appreciative of your hard work. Maybe your company or the hotel can reimburse you for the parking.
Hi awsome stuff I’m planning on getting frontier fiber optic internet soon do you know if I could use my own router? I own a Asus rt-ax86u. Would I only have to pay for modem fee?
Yes, you can use your own router but make sure it can support the advertised fiber optic speed. It's only $10 to rent their router. Supposedly with their router, it's easier for updates and maintenance. They will also send new models when available.
There are also a lot of fiber installs that go directly to the inside of the house using desktop units if they have easy access to get the fiber to that location the speeds are the same actually no noticeable drop off from it being outside, you can also use your own router with a Ethernet connector
Perhaps for newer houses that were built recently. Thanks for sharing.
did they ever come and dig?
Yes, for the fiber optic line from the cable box to the new box on side of the house
i enjoyed the vlog..from Nairobi Kenya
Glad you enjoyed
@@Jay_Rule from someone who wants to learn more stuff..is the solution still rock solid so far? how has the solution served you ?
Once you switch to fiber optic internet, you will never look back or want to switch back because every download and upload is ridiculously fast and the same price as cable internet, at least in my area. @@edwinkaris9602
I wish I could get fiber optic internet in Renton 😒 fiber optic internet needs to come to my town Renton in the future like come on. I do live in WA like you do
Once you go fiber optic, you will never look back.
The best thing is that fiber has no data caps. Comcast and COX have data caps. Data caps suck.
Short and sweet. 10/10
thanks
Do they just install a modem then set everything up or do they do the process just shown in the video? I’m thinking about getting Ziply it seems way better than what I was getting from Sparklight I was paying $95 a month for only 100 mbps but I wasn’t even getting that I was only getting 20-30 mbps
You don't need a modem with fiber optics because you are no longer using the coaxial cable outlet from the wall. They are changing your old telephone outlets to LAN. All you will need now is a router. Cable modem is old technology. They ensure it's working fine before leaving.
@@Jay_Rule I'm sorry but you're full of it because I seen a modem right there at the end of the video plus I see no router obviously you need a modem regardless and you need a router so that's misinformation
@@Mr_Techroid That is my old Netgear Nighthawk router which I didn't put away but it's not plugged in. When you switch to fiber optics you are no longer using the coaxial cable from the wall. The only wire is the LAN from the wall to the Ziply Fiber router. Here is my review of the Netgear: th-cam.com/video/JrHCFBXRQiA/w-d-xo.html
About How much does this cost to get installed?
It was all part of the promotion so there aren't any extra charges, which included the wire digging and burial: th-cam.com/video/MsQ0ziHXivg/w-d-xo.html
How much money you will pay monthly ??and this is unlimited plan
i pray that someday i will get fiber, my current dsl speeds with ziply are like 1.5mbps down and 60kbps up
I hope so too. I feel internet should be fast and affordable. Keep on tweeting at them to see the latest updates in your area.
Zipply fiber 🤢 there internet is horrible, once I was on the phone with a worker there, and they admitted that they area always going down and stuff
My service has only been interrupted 3 or 4 times since having Ziply Fiber fiber optics. With Comcast, it was a terrible experience with cable internet.
Which Frontier communications would get here in Michigan. I talked to a text here in Muskegon Michigan apparently they started over the summer or something but they only did parts of the city with fiber but then eventually they're supposed to expand outwards from that area Muskegon Michigan's where all their DSL service originates from it's like their main Central hub or something like that I believe but we live out in the country an hour or so late maybe two but the text send that they're not for sure when they get down to my area if they run it out into the actual country and back roads which seems to be an ongoing issue right now but of course Frontier nor the text no any additional information on where the service will actually be expanded too but I'm hoping it comes down towards Pittsford Michigan osseo Michigan North Adams Michigan that general area is basically all country and small towns every few miles they're very small country areas lots of corn fields in the areas but again they're DSL service is slow like it's 6 Mbps download and 512 KB upload and it can fluctuate a little bit but for most part it's pretty consistent most of the network congestion has been fixed but the ping times are still too high for gaming I mean you can have a local 25 milliseconds on speed test but it doesn't matter if you're on Steam for PC or Xbox live on the next gen Xboxes when you have a ping of over a hundred milliseconds it's very rough but according the front Taylor is just nothing that they can do till they get fiber and the company won't release any additional information on that so that kind of sucks but I think they're in a testing phase which is why that little town that they're starting in there in Muskegon Michigan I think they're just like a testing phase before they expand which will probably happen more next year but I know down here Pittsford Michigan Hillsdale Michigan osseo Michigan those little towns through that area here in Michigan Comcast is laying down fiber everywhere so I'm going to assume Frontier should really hurry up I mean if Comcast can do it in Frontier really needs to end the fiber to those same areas but again same issue with Comcast they're only running it down the main roads they're not serving any of their customers out on the back roads which is definitely an issue at this point and I think the government really needs to step in because you got a lot of people that live on these side roads and stuff out in the country and we deserve to have internet too especially a frontier plans on replacing their DSL service in general I mean come on it's 2022 is zippy fiber was available in Michigan oh man I would sign up for that stuff in a heartbeat but I think they only own like three states or something like that so that's kind of a downside there is smaller ISP provider but man does their stuff work unlike frontiers
Please keep me updated when you do have the option for fiber optic because it's truly a game changer like switching from dial up to cable internet.
Helpful video I was wondering what the modem looks like I thought it was a regular Internet modem because I already have my equipment but it looks like I'm only gonna need my router after all
There is no modem once you have fiber optics. You just use a router as the signal for all of your devices.
To think that wireless internet is still faster 🤯
Wifi is never faster than a direct connection
Does anyone else have a problem where in every game you just get a super fast lag spike to the point where your game just freezes for like 10 seconds? Its really bad and can't figure out a way to fix it
The only issue I have is that the connectivity is disconnected from my PS4 to the router. A simple router restart fixes the issue.
Does anyone know how long the installation is?
2 hrs for fiber optic installation & another 2 for the router lines
ziply guys jusr drove away, having checked the box outside, but not coming in to check their plugs. my phone is dead again. they marked the trouble ticket "completed". Then tech support was interrupted and I can't seem to contact them again. Thus far ziply has not been a good chouice for me.
Sorry to hear that. Maybe you need to speak to the branch manager. Do you live out in the woods?
@@Jay_Rule I live in town. Getting ahold of the branch manager has proven difficult.
Congrats! I wish the vid was slightly better edited tho, only to more clearly show the routing of the fiber, power supply, and ethernet cables
I could only record as he was working and I didn't want to get in the way. He was ok with me recording his steps.
Do we need separate modem besides optical network terminal(ONT) or ONT will connect to router directly.
There is no more need for a modem since the fiber optic is a direct connection from the outside provider source.
I never ever had downtime in my 3 years of service, Z ply's customer service is worlds better than Frontier. I run a multi media server and it is truly 1000mbps upload, that's 125 MB/s. No cap either. IIRC their network is running at 40% capacity, where as com cast is at 90%, which is why their speed decreases during peak hours. Old tech can't handle it. I would definitely recommend using your own router, don't use theirs. IDK if it is bad per say, but I have had experiences where the ISP router cannot handle many wireless clients or cannot reach the speeds.
Thanks for the info & watching
I really don't blame the technician nor their support staff. Clearly they didn't have any idea they were violating the NEC in multiple ways. I blame whoever decided they could cash in on tax dollars (aka ziply) and never face consequences.
What are you referring to?
@@Jay_Rule Welp lets start with clearances? Moving forward you can then go to fastening, securing and then bonding. Do you want me to quote articles?
I'm thinking of getting thier gig speed for gaming and streaming movies. At the moment I have the 3030, its very basic and I think its time to update to high speeds
I love mine. I only have to reset it a few times because my PS4 won't detect the signal. I think it's more on the fault of the PS4 and not the modem or Ziply Fiber.
So Frontier doesn’t use fiber gateway?
I have no idea because they got bought out in our area.
Yeah you just gotta lucky !!!
What do you mean? I paid for the service and it worked asked advertised lol.
Is it good now? It’s been a few yrs
Yes, it's still super fast and close to the advertised 1Gbps speed. I just ran a speed test with a direct connection to their router and it's 764.4Mbps DL and 881.8 UL. I've only had to manually reset the router less than 5x since this installation video.
Most likely going to get it, do i just say i want fiber optic?
Yes and ask if it's available in your area and if they have any promotions.
With speeds that fast time travel is now possible
Ikr. Once you go fiber optic speeds, you will never look back.
Are you not able to use that router that was next to the ziply router? I have the same one I believe and I want use mine instead of a ziply one
I can but I was too lazy to reconfigure all my devices with the new password etc
@@Jay_Rule ah okay👍 thank you! :)
Ziply installed it on saturday, it went out on sunday, working now but my phone ( landline) is dead. ziply says all looks good on their end, but my phone is still dead. Maybe be here by the end of the week. I'm elderly and alone. No phone is not a good thing.
Sorry to hear that but wouldn't it be better for you to switch to a cellphone so you can use it anywhere? I don't know why your landline was interrupted. Please give us an update when fixed.
@@Jay_Rule Thank you, that's a good quetion. I have a landline for times when there is no power, no way to charge a cell phone. For me, that is. I am elderly, disabled and housebound. Running out to find an alternative charging source is unlikely. However, Ziply has changed that for good. Now I CAN"T have an independent phone. Oh, and we had another internet outage, back up now, but not my phone. I'm told the problem must be on my end because all their equipment ( remote) says it's working fine.. Sheesh!
@@Jay_Rule not fixed on day 9.
Good vid Jay. It looks like your house was already pre-wired with CAT5E cables? Does your house have a network/cable enclosure inside (i.e walk-in closet)? Did ZiplyFiber Installer Tech do something in there? Do you have a gigabit network switch already? Or did all of the CAT5E cables that was pre wired to your house go all outside? Kinda odd if the home builder did that to your home. And another question I noticed the Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi router next to your Arris Wi-Fi router, is that being used as well for your home? Thanks in advance for answering my questions. I am curious about the fiber service and I noticed on your comment responses to other folks on here say that you are very happy with your connection speed.
I don't think my house was (2006) so he added some type of converter but I could be wrong. The outside communication box is already wired with fiber optics. That was my old router I was using. Ziply Fiber provided me with the Arris router.
If your home has a smart panel where all network wiring is, chances are theres already a vacant ethernet cable where your comcast box is, the techinican will immediatly know where to look and hook it up, since it's their profession.
I had the same question until a friend of mine works for Ziply explained everything to me a month ago... he was great. I still have his contact if you want to get in touch with him.
Got my speed, paying low, cant beat the service
Ziply is doing FTR (Fiber To Residence) installs in ALL of their service areas but it doesn't mean it's available yet. YET. Just be patient and it will come. I have Ziply now (old Frontier) that is just DSL but have been told that they will be coming through soon to overbuild everything and have fast FTR to me. I can't wait!
Sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck.
Same here. Getting mine in 2-3 months
Is the wall jack in each room included in the profession installation?
No. They were already there. My neighbor said they requested them to put one in so it depends on the installer.
@@Jay_Rule some new house with 4+ ethernet wall jack, are they going to install them all?
Can I cry 😢 now.
Why is that? Too fast of speeds for you? lol jk
How long does the installation process take?
1.5 for the fiber optic installation and another 2 hr for the digging if required
Nice, just get your own router, their router isn't that good.
true but regularly push updates and replace it when there is a new one
@@sejiva Get a WiFi 6 router like tp-link AX1800 or Asus WiFi 6 if you want to spend more.
@@Jay_Rule ASUS. Regular updates for years, and very affordable. $70 will get you an ASUS RT-ACRH13 that will handle Gig just fine.
FTTH Deployment was just announced today for my town. I'll be going with the 100/100 Mbps. Anything more than that for residential is a waste IMO.
Why would use that shit router
They provided it
@@Jay_Rule Who gives a fuck, buy a new one
So how much in total? Also thats great
There is no installation fee. It's part of the promotion so you just pay for the monthly fiber optic internet service.
@@Jay_Rule what state u from
@@Uncle_Diesel WA and you?
@@Jay_Rule pa that’s why you got the fast WiFi from them I only get 20mbps and it’s shit my uncle and aunt lives like 10mins away the have 1500mbps but they have xf
Did they raise the price or is it still the same and are the speeds still consistent?
Everything is the same on my end
