Last month, OEN laid out fiber service to an area of Houston which covers approximately five thousand residents in the northwest portion of the city. Service seems to be going well and the company plans to quadruple the number of potential customers in their service area by the end of this year. Of course, OEN isn’t the only company spreading fiber throughout Houston; AT&T has service in the area and other companies are jumping on the bandwagon as well. The Houston Chronicle takes a look at the ups and downs of fiber in the area, offering pretty much the same old look at the arguments for fiber over cable, with the take that consumer demand is pushing fiber in the area.
