Frontier to build FTTH through 2018

Frontier announced plans to build fiber-to-the-home service to between 100,000 and 150,000 customers over the next two years. Once the FTTH network is in place, the company can upgrade broadband speeds at minimal cost and disruption to customers, said Perley McBride, Frontier’s CFO.

“We will do about 50,000 of those this year and another 50,000 to 100,000 next year,” said McBride. “I think the beauty of the fiber-to-the-home network is that it is low cost. If you need to then move into the next generation of speed, it’s not a very capital intensive change you have to make.”
