Houston-based Ezee Fiber has connected its first fiber-optic internet customer in Kent.
The milestone kicks off a major expansion across Washington state, where Ezee Fiber is investing more than $400 million to bring ultra-fast, reliable fiber internet to homes across the region, according to an Oct. 22 company press release.
“We’re thrilled to light up our very first customer in Kent and officially become part of the Puget Sound community,” said Eddie Abreu, Ezee Fiber senior vice president and general manager, Pacific Northwest Region. “Washington state represents a vibrant, forward-thinking region that deserves internet infrastructure built for the future. We’ve been warmly welcomed by residential communities and local government partners alike, and are eager to be part of the fabric of the communities we serve.”
Ezee Fiber broke ground in April in Kent as it installs the internet system across town. Its regional headquarters is in Kent, 22217 68th Ave. S.
Kent Mayor Dana Ralph signed a contract in January with the company for a limited license franchise agreement to deploy a fiber network throughout the city to help provide telecommunications services to residents and businesses. The franchise agreement allows Ezee Fiber to build in the right of way and provide service.
The company’s network is designed to deliver symmetrical multi-gig speeds—up to 8 Gbps for homes. Unlike traditional providers, Ezee Fiber offers lifetime pricing, no data caps, no term contracts and a locally based support team.
The expansion into Washington is part of Ezee Fiber’s broader mission to close the digital divide by delivering next-generation connectivity to neighborhoods across the region, according to the company. In addition to Kent, the company is actively constructing its network in other cities across the Puget Sound area, with additional launches planned for early 2026.
Ezee Fiber began in 2021 in Houston, and covers select cities in Texas, New Mexico, Illinois and Washington. The company plans to expand to Lakewood and other cities in the Pacific Northwest.
Monthly plans on the company’s website go for $119, $99 and $89. For more information and to check availability for service, go to ezeefiber.com.
