Fiber to the premises in the United States

This article describes fiber to the premises in the United States.

In the United States, the largest fiber to the premises (FTTP) deployment to date is Verizon's FiOS. Verizon is the only Regional Bell Operating Company thus far to deploy FTTP on a large scale. Verizon's initial FTTP offering was based on broadband passive optical network (BPON) technology. Verizon has already upgraded to Gigabit PON or GPON, a faster optical access technology capable of providing 1Gb/sec speeds to consumers.

Several carriers, municipalities, and planned communities across America are deploying their own fiber networks. Among them is the City of Burlington, Vermont "Burlington Telecom" and Lafayette, Louisiana.

The city of San Francisco, California has released a feasibility study for government and public broadband via fiber optics. This was the result of San Francisco supervisors' vote to adopt a resolution to encourage certain city departments to consider installing FTTP for use primarily in city operations. This then evolved into the fiber feasibility study which also includes "services to businesses and residents." The study estimated build-out costs of $564 million. It has been released as a draft in order for members of the public to provide comment and input.

Service providers using Active FTTP technologies include YRT2 Inc.; PAXIO Inc.; SureWest; iProvo; Grant County, Washington; UTOPIA; and Broadweave Networks. Service providers using passive optical networks include Verizon (FiOS), AT&T (U-verse), and several greenfield development networks.

There are also two other FTTH providers — iProvo, based in Provo, Utah and UTOPIA, based in Salt Lake County, Utah. These FTTH municipal fiber networks are an open network to many ISPs, including Mstar, Veracity, Xmission, and other service providers who have bought onto the network. The speeds of the network range around 15 Mbit/s for residential use and 30 Mbit/s for business use.

Mstar currently offers a 50 Mbit/s connection on the UTOPIA network. Additionally, Mstar offers telephone and television services. Mstar is one of the few companies to offer IPTV services.

EPB Fiber Optics provides a GPON network that offers fiber to the premise to Chattanooga, TN and some neighboring cities. They offer 1Gig internet service, which is the fastest speed available in the nation, as well as TV and phone service.
