About Us
About Zion Broadband
At Zion Broadband Inc., we are more than just your internet provider — we are your neighbors. Choosing us means supporting a locally owned business that reinvests in your community, rather than sending profits to a large corporation based in another state or overseas.
We value flexibility and transparency, which is why we do not lock customers into long-term contracts. Instead, we focus on earning your trust by delivering consistent, dependable service backed by a responsive, local team.
To keep you connected without interruption, we operate a robust and resilient network. Our infrastructure includes redundancy and battery backups at every point of presence, so even during power outages or unexpected events, your internet stays up and running.
Our multi-homed network architecture eliminates single points of failure, enhancing uptime and minimizing disruptions. This means you enjoy greater stability and reliability, especially when it matters most.
And when issues arise, our local team acts quickly — often resolving problems before you even notice. Through proactive monitoring and rapid response, we ensure your connection stays fast, secure, and worry-free.
