Re: You're misreading this

As both I and the original poster of the thread noted you are misparsing it. They are delivering both FTTH (as in residences) and FTT premise for businesses.
Find me a residential Frontier fiber to the home customer. I'd love to talk to them. Perhaps they do exist. Perhaps you might even be able to count them on one hand.
I submit to you that you don't have any idea of how many greenfield locations in which they have been doing this for some time. Or where they are.
There's scattered and small installed greenfield deployments in Elk Grove and Williams, California, Mohave County and White Mountains, Arizona and Myrtle Creek and Cave Junction, in Oregon. In total they don't exceed 10,000 installs, and the vast majority of them are small businesses, with maybe a few housing developments mixed in, where users are capped at DSL-esque speeds. There's also 100-125 acquired FiOS customers from the Reverse Morris Trust Verizon deal.

The vast majority (millions) of Frontier customers can't get speeds faster than 3 Mbps, and Frontier is not "deploying fiber to the home all across the country." They have absolutely no plan to install "fiber to the home all across the country." They've deployed a limited number of greenfield locations (usually developments) in the past. There's a difference.

I submit to you that they're falsely inflating their network potential in order to ease investor concerns that they'll struggle to compete with upgraded cable networks.
