| You got it right FTTH is to the home.
FTTB is fiber to the business.
Even if some of the FTTB was installed at a home based business it still wouldn't be FTTH, it would be FTTHBB.
Simple really.  |
|
| didn't they get that FTTH from verizon...if they were doing that before the vz aquisition then why are they offing pathetic speeds |
|
| They got about 100k fiber users, most of them in the Pacific Northwest. |

|
| Right. Somebody corrected me on that front yesterday. Still don't think we're talking more than 100k all told. |

I didn't consider that FTTB was actually an accepted fiber related acronym before I decided to have a little fun with it.
Is FTTBu already taken too? |

lol when I seen the headline I was like hey... didnt frontier get FIOS Fort Wayne... but I see thats been covered... |
|
| There is a small deployment of FiOS in one of the Carolinas, but no TV.
FiOS customers are in the 125,000 range (per the CEO).
The birthplace of FiOS is Keller, Texas. |

Ok but what does to the home or to the business mean? I have had the luck to try both. Two towns is California. Rocklin and Lincoln. Both FTTH. The differance is that in Rocklin it went only to the box outside the home, then the rest of the trip is simply regular cabling to the modem. Now in Lincoln there is a company called Surewest. There Fiber led directly to the inside of the house to the computer. No modem needed. It plugged right into your nic card on the comp. It was there they verified you using the nic cards mac addy. I was getting 30000/30000 up/down. I have yet to see anything faster, except they also offer 50000/50000. |

Once metered billing becomes the norm speeds such as those will start appearing everywhere. |
