Comcast / TWC / Charter

I noticed Comcast's 2 Gig announcement and while browsing their site noticed that the Comcast business network seems to run through Cincinnati. Obviously TWC do the cable TV here so does anybody know definitely if Comcast might offer their new internet service in this area?

Comcast leases sections of their national business network from Level 3 and Level 3 has multiple paths in and out of Cincinnati. That is probably reflected on the Comcast business network coverage map but does not imply any real neighborhood fiber presence.

TWC has fiber to various nodes but nothing like the density of fiber that CB installs for Fioptics FTTH. Given the uncertainty about TWC's future locally (which hinges on the Comcast/TWC deal outcome) it seems unlikely that any major investment decisions will be made at present.

The uncertainty facing TWC gives CB a window of opportunity to expand services well beyond what TWC can offer. Given the size of CB's investment in fiber this year it looks like they will be taking full advantage of that opportunity.

Thanks - figured they weren't local.

I spotted more Fioptics installation work at the weekend while taking a back road to the Mad Tree microbrewery. They seemed to be working in the southern section of Kennedy Heights between Red Bank and Kennedy.
