Denmark[]

As of 2006, FTTH was being installed in Denmark in the northern parts of Zealand north and west of Copenhagen. The installation was being performed by the power company DONG Energy as part of a project to convert their airborne power infrastructure into one consisting of underground cables. Their plans called for a completion date of 2010, after which they expected to expand FTTH installation to areas that fell outside of the scope of the power infrastructure conversion project. However, DONG Energy does not provide access to Internet, television, or telephone services by themselves – other providers rent the cable to provide the end customer with anything ranging from simple POTS-like telephony to triple play.^{[citation needed]} As of 2014, FTTH is available through which is a consortium of 13 regional electric companies throughout the country. also offers fiber to the home service in cooperation with several regional electric companies previously part of Waoo, as well as customers served by SE who owns Stofa. Several apartment complexes also offer FTTH. DONG Energy sold its fiber to TDC which leases access to . In 2021 the cost of 1Gps FTTH has settled around €40/month.

Estonia[]

As of 2010, FTTH networks are fully developed and commercially available in select locations in Estonia. Speeds up to 300 Mbit/s downstream and 300 Mbit/s upstream are commercially available for €33 a month. The same network delivers digital television and is usually marketed as a "home package" (Internet, digital television and landline phone). The price for ADSL2 connection operating at 12/1 Mbit/s is €21 a month. In all cases, TV and Internet share the overall bandwidth, so the more active TV tuners in use at a given time, the less bandwidth is available for Internet use.^{[citation needed]} Since 2013 AS Starman has been offering connections with 200 Mbit/s downstream and 20 Mbit/s upstream, at a cost of approximately €26 per month.

FTTH networks in Georgia (country) are being quickly deployed growing from just 11% coverage in 2011 to 49% by the end of 2016 with 25% of households having service subscription. Speeds up to 100 Mbit/s downstream and 100 Mbit/s upstream are commercially available for 100 GEL a month, but entry packages start at 10 GEL a month. Fixed broadband market is dominated by two biggest players Silknet and MagtiCom (who in 2016 acquired biggest fixed player Caucasus Online).

Greece[]

In September 2008, Transport and Communications Minister Kostas Hatzidakis announced plans to provide FTTH to 2 million homes in Athens, Thessaloniki and 50 other cities across Greece by 2013, at a cost of €2.1 billion and at speeds of "at least" 100 Mbit/s.^[68] Starting 2016 no Greek ISP offers more than 50 Mbit/s of download speed, with the exception of one ISP announcing plans for 100 Mbit/s and 200 Mbit/s towards the end of 2016 in some locations as well as 500 Mbit/s for professional use only. In early 2020 some ISPs offered speeds far exceeding 100 Mbit/s, reaching 10 Gbit/s for professional use.

Hungary[]

In 2009, Magyar Telekom was the largest FTTH provider in the country. Fiber-optic services are available in the inner districts of Budapest and other major cities such as Győr and Sopron. By 2011 the fiber-optic network will be extended to 800,000 households.^{[citation needed]}

Iceland[]

As of 2019, 75% of premises in Iceland have FTTH access available, with all of the Reykjavík and surrounding areas connected through Gagnaveita Reykjavíkur's network. 1 Gbit/s internet services have been available to homes since 2016. In terms of total active connections, 53.1% are FTTH.^[69]

The Government of Iceland's goal is for 99% of homes and businesses to have access to fibre networks by the year 2022.^[70] The government has engaged in a programme called Ísland Ljóstengt running from 2016–2020. It funds FTTH deployment to 5,500 rural locations allowing this goal to be reached.^[71] The incumbent largest conventional copper provider, Míla (owned by Síminn) transitioning to a full fibre network in the coming years.

FTTH is being deployed by Gagnaveita Reykjavikur (GR), a subsidiary of Orkuveita Reykjavíkur (Reykjavik Power Company). In March 2006, they had begun connecting the towns of Seltjarnarnes, Akranes and Reykjavík offering services of 100 Mbit/s. All of Seltjarnes, Akranes, Mosfellsbær, Þorlákshöfn and Hveragerði were connected by 2012 and the Reykjavik area as of 2018.^[72] As of 2019 all connections are 1 Gbit/s.

Other FTTH providers are Míla which operates in recently developed areas in the Capital Region, Gagnveita Skagafjarðar which operates in Sauðárkrókur and Tengir in Akureyri and its vicinity.^{[citation needed]}Various other smaller FTTH networks are operated by local municipalities.

Ireland[]

OpenEir, the wholesale arm of Eir, Ireland's largest telecommunications company, is rolling out an FTTH network. This service provides up to 1 Gbit/s down and 100 Mbit/s up.^[73] and is in addition to a very widespread FTTC network, which offers speeds of 100 Mbit/s down and 20 Mbit/s up. The FTTC network was built with enough fibre to each cabinet to future-proof them for eventual FTTH deployment.

Siro, a joint venture between the state owned power company ESB Group and Vodafone Ireland, is also rolling out 1 Gbit/s FTTH download and 200 Mbit/s upload to 500,000 properties in Ireland by 2018.^[74] This network uses ESB's physical electrical distribution network to carry fibres through ducts and on poles directly into homes and offices.

Both of these networks are being operated on a wholesale basis and end users can select from a range of different ISPs and IP television providers and a wide range of service for residential and business users.

Ireland's FTTH rollout faces particular challenges as the country's housing stock has a high percentage of individual homes built at quite low density. This necessitates far more civil engineering works to bring fibre to every home than would be the case in a country with a predominance of dense apartment type developments. However, this is being overcome using innovative solutions like running fibre through existing power line ducts and using mixtures of underground and aerial cable.

Italy[]

In Italy, FTTH has been deployed by Fastweb since 1999 in selected areas of Milan, Rome, Naples, Genova, Bologna and a few other cities, however they aren't planning to deploy any more FTTP as DSL deployment is far cheaper. Where FTTP is available, they have offered a triple play service on a 10/10 Mbit/s Internet connection since 2010. Fastweb started offering FTTP customers the option to upgrade to 100/50 Mbit/s at a small additional fee. Telecom Italia announced, in March 2008, they would deploy FTTH in 140,000 homes in Milan, by the end of 2008 and in 10 cities the following year at speeds up to 1 Gbit/s.^{[citation needed]} As of November 2015 the state-of-the-art internet connection is represented by Vodafone fibre, the availability of which is limited to some areas of Milan and Bologna, reaching speeds of 1 Gbit/s in download and 200 Mbit/s in upload. This is a FTTH, just like the 100/50 connections provided by Fastweb in a bunch of cities. Most of other connections advertised as fibre are actually FTTC / VDSL (Telecom Italia is currently offering 30/3 and 50/10 connections, whereas Fastweb goes up to 200/20 and Vodafone reaches 100/20). As it might be expected, the real speed is about 20% less than the advertised speed in the case of FTTC. Fiber for Italy initiative: The initiative has the stated goal of offering 100 Mbit/s symmetrical connections to 10 million Italian subscribers across 15 cities by 2018 and up to 1 Gbit/s for business customers.^[75]^[76] It involves operators Wind, Tele2, Vodafone, and Fastweb. An ongoing pilot project in the Italian capital Rome delivers symmetrical speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s to small businesses. Telecom Italia (the largest Italian operator) is not a participant in the Fiber for Italy program, but has independently committed to provide ultra-highspeed broadband up to 100 Mbit/s symmetrical connections to 50 percent of the country's population (138 cities) by 2018.^[77] Both Fiber for Italy participants and Telecom Italia are working with Advanced Digital Broadcast to provide residential gateway technology with embedded fiber termination. Since 2006, Television Sierre SA^[78] deploys a FTTH network in most municipalities in the district of Sierre, Switzerland. Triple Play services are offered to the public under the brand Vario.^[79]

Open Fiber: In 2015, Open Fiber won all lots for the Ultrabroadband Plan rollout,^[80] which was set up by in order to upgrade, mostly by using state and european funds, broadband coverage especially in the so-called "market failure" areas, where no operator was interested in upgrading the existing POTS and ADSL-capable copper lines.^[81] Open Fiber plans to cover every municipality in Italy by 2022 with connections of up to 1000/300 Mbit/s, which will be provided using a newly built GPON FTTH network, or radio uplinks in very remote areas.^[82]

Latvia[]

In Q1 2009, Lattelecom launched FTTH services with up to 100 Mbit/s speeds, initially available in Riga. By November 2009, the speed was increased to 500 Mbit/s in selected areas, however by October 2013 it was increased to 1 Gbit/s. In Q1 2013, the company's FTTH service covered 450,000 households across Latvia.^[83]^[84]

Lithuania[]

FTTH is provided in all major and smaller cities (~30 of them) of Lithuania, mainly by Telia and some smaller local providers. Teo LT is a former state telecom operator now owned by TeliaSonera and according to the local regulatory agency their data communications business accounts for ~69% of the total data service revenue in Lithuania for 2009. They sell FTTH under the brand ZEBRA, there were 63,000 subscribers connected via FTTH at the end of 2009,^[85] and there are plans for most residents in the three largest cities, Vilnius (95%), Kaunas (70%) and Klaipėda (95%), to be able to connect to FTTH by the end of 2010. According to the FTTH European Rankings of the FTTH Council Europe published 24 February 2010, Lithuania leads Europe in FTTH connectivity with 18% penetration, followed by Sweden, Norway and Slovenia.^[86]

Malta[]

Fibre-to-the-Home is currently only available through GO, with residential connections available at up to 1 Gbit/s for download speed. Melita provide speeds of up to 1 GBits/s down and 25 Mbits/s up, via its cable TV platform, which has a wider coverage footprint than GO's FTTH network as of December 2020. As of the end of 2019, more than 100,000 homes - roughly half of the homes across the country - are within fibre network areas. The rollout of fibre cabling to the remaining homes is expected to be finished by 2024.^[87] Other operators advertising fibre broadband either currently use GO's network, such as Epic.

North Macedonia[]

In North Macedonia, as of 2015 Makedonski Telekom is the largest among the various FTTH providers in the country. Fiber-optic services are currently available in the larger cities in the country, as well as some rural areas. The service offers symmetrical 40, 50 and 60 Mbit/s as well as 1 Gbit/s speeds in triple play and double play packages.^[88]

Moldova[]

In Moldova FTTx has been deployed by StarNet and Arax since 2006 and Moldtelecom since 2008 in the city of Chișinău at first and other towns and regional centers later. Since then the network grew fast due to healthy competition between two top ISP's in the country – StarNet and Moldtelecom. The result of this competition is that in 2013 FTTx became the dominant access technology in the country and it remains so to this day, holding nearly 60% of the broadband market in 2017.^[89] There are multiple local and only two country-wide ISP's (StarNet and Moldtelecom) that offer Internet access via FTTx. StarNet and Moldtelecom both offer 100/100 Mbit (and higher) Internet connection via FTTx in cities of Chișinău and Bălți as well as all other large towns and regional centers with prices of around €10 per month.^[90]^[91]

Montenegro[]

Montenegring Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services started reporting about number of FTTx connections for the first time in September 2011. In January 2015 13.16% of all Internet connections in Montenegro (cellular network excluded) were FTTx connections.^[92] By connection type, ADSL was leading with 71.17% usage rate. Of all FTTx connections 62.31% were FTTH, 36.22% were FTTB and 1.47% were FTTC.^[93] Crnogorski Telekom which is part of Deutsche Telekom group is holding majority of the FTTx market. Crnogorski Telekom is providing FFTx services only in form of FTTH connections and it is only FTTH service provider in country. FTTB connections are offered by Cable television service providers.

Netherlands[]

In The Netherlands in the city of Eindhoven and a nearby village of Nuenen, there is a large network with 15 000 connections. Triple play is offered. Houses and companies are connected with single-mode fibre. The network is owned by the members themselves, who formed a corporation. The first European FTTH project was also in Eindhoven in a neighborhood known as the "Vlinderflats". This was a multi-mode fibre but was in 2005 changed to single-mode fibre. FTTH resulted in new broadband services; the inhabitants started their own broadband TV station called VlinderTV.^{[citation needed]}

Since October 2006 fibre optic connections are being deployed in the city of Amsterdam. In the first phase of the deployment there are some 40,000 connections planned with the first ones being available for connection to end users in February 2007. The network is rolled out in the boroughs of Zeeburg, Oost and Osdorp. The owner of the network is GNA CV, the operator is BBned, a subsidiary of Telecom Italia. BBned operates as a non-discriminating wholesaler of capacity to service providers. This setup, with a structural separation of ownership of the network and the delivery of services, ensures that the network is open to all.^{[citation needed]}

Also, another company is building new FTTH networks in Arnhem, Nijmegen, Amersfoort, Hilversum, Soest, Leiden and Utrecht. These networks are almost completed. The first home was connected around March 2005. If all goes according to plan, the last home in these networks will be connected in June 2007. These networks also provide triple play services. Internet connection speed varies from 24, 48 and 100 Mbit/s (up and down).^{[citation needed]}

The city of Deventer will be the first city in The Netherlands which will be fully connected with FTTH, at the end of 2009. Already in the first quarter of 2009, more than half of the roughly 100,000 citizens are able to use the FTTH services. Single play, double play and triple play are offered, with speeds of 35 and 50 Mbit/s. In the near future, these speeds will be upgraded to 50 and 100 Mbit/s respectively.^[94]

In the last couple of years a wide deployment has been undertaken by Dutch firm Reggefiber. However, in 2013 Reggefiber was acquired by KPN and rollouts have been significantly less since then.

Norway[]

A lot of companies currently provide FTTH/FTTP in Norway for consumers and businesses.^[95] The maximum speed offered is 10 Gbits symmetrical.

Poland[]

As of February 2017, Orange delivers FTTH to 0.1 million Polish customers and plans to expand this number to 3.5 million households.^[96]

Portugal[]

Vodafone are rolling out FTTH to 2.75 million homes (2/3 of the country) by the end of 2016.

ZON was created from TVCabo's spin-off from Portugal Telecom. Subsequently, a large group of smaller cable operators was bought into the new company. TVTEL was the first Portuguese ISP to offer FTTH services initially in Oeiras (near Lisbon) and also in Porto, Pluricanal is another ISP that offers this kind of access in some neighborhoods on the outskirts of Lisbon. Both TVTel and Pluricanal are now a part of ZON. ZON based its current expansion program not on the FTTH network, but in upgrading the HFC (cable) network to Eurodocsys3.0 at 200 Mbit/s on cable and 1 Gbit/s using FTTH.^{[citation needed]}

But since 2012, ZON has been acquired by NOS^[97]

Sonaecom with Optimus Clix Fibra^[98] was the arguably the first to invest in a large-scale fiber optical network, to cover 1,000,000 people by 2011, the triple-play packages includes maximum speeds of 360/36 Mbit/s (down/upstream), TV with +150 channels over FTTH and IPTV. The company was first to offer such service in Portugal. Currently after ZON and NOS were merged, they have about 4 million customers and now offering up to 1000/100 Mbit/s (down/upstream), TV with +150 channels with 4K ability over FTTH and IPTV.

Portugal Telecom launched the FTTH service in May 2009, Meo Fibra^[99] offers a triple-play service at a maximum speed (for now) of 1000/200 Mbit/s (download/upload), more than 200 TV channels over IPTV and VoIP phone; the coverage is still limited, but the expansion of the fiber is still underway across the country. They are planning to finish the expansion by 2020. A special notice should be mentioned about the late development of PT FTTH network since due to previous "unbundling" problems of the copper DSL network only after getting a guarantee from the respective authorities (Anacom) that they would not be mandated to give free/open access to other companies in their network.

Romania[]

In Romania, FTTH was first deployed in Timișoara by RDS. Currently, it is available in every major city. The name of the service is FiberLink. There are 4 subscription plans: FiberLink 100, FiberLink 300, FiberLink 500 and FiberLink 1000.^{[citation needed]} For Home use, it is available since 2007, first only in some regions, but quickly expanded. All major operators, RCS&RDS, UPC, and Telekom are providing FTTH, with speed up to 1 Gbit/s, but not in all counties and not in all cities and part of the counties sometimes not even in some cities or part of some cities. Offered only in big cities and the surroundings. To the present day, RCS&RDS is the biggest FTTH provider, mounting ONT equipment to the final user destination, followed by UPC and Telekom. In some regions, FTTH may be available but with smaller bandwidth than in big cities ( mainly in some rural areas were FTTH may be only up to 20 Mbit/s and analogue television in some isolated zones, sometimes even very small towns). Except major operators, some smaller providers of Internet & CATV are implementing or beginning to implement FTTH or had it implemented. It is used for Internet, Cable Television, IP TV, and fixed telephone. Speed reaches up to 1 Gbit/s at the user, HD channels over CATV or IPTV and analogue CATV, and telephony ( even IP telephony). FTTH is used both for business and home use services.

Russia[]

In Russia the ER-Telecom company started construction of the FTTH network, "Universal City Telecommunication Network" (UCTN), in Perm.^{[citation needed]} The following services are offered over UCTN:

Cable Television «Divan-TV»
High-speed broadband Internet Access «DOM.RU»
IP-telephony «GORSVYAZ»
Services for corporations («home office» service, videoconference connection, telemetry collecting service etc.).

Serbia[]

In Serbia Targo Telekom offers FTTH access to residents in Stara Pazova and New Belgrade. The offer includes both Internet access and television. Speed ranges from 10/5 Mbit/s, 20/10 Mbit/s, 40/20 Mbit/s, 80/40 Mbit/s and 120/60 Mbit/s. Thunder and Warp plans include speeds of up to 2.5/1.5 Gbit/s.^[100]

Serbia Broadband has also announced plans to connect 50,000^[101] residential customers to its FTTH service called Fiber Power by the end of the year.

Slovakia[]

In Slovakia FTTH was first deployed in Bratislava, Piešťany and Trnava by Orange. End user speed is 70/8 Mbit/s (down/up). The service is Orange Doma.^{[citation needed]}

FTTx connectivity is available in Michalovce by GeCom, s.r.o, which offers FTTB+ETTH variant at speeds up to 33/33 Mbit/s (down/up).^{[citation needed]}

FTTx connectivity is available in Košice by Antik computers and communications, which offers FTTH variant speeds up to 1/1 Gbit/s (down/up).^{[citation needed]}

In 2010 coverage was up to 310,000 households, almost 19% of the country. At the end of 2011 the major operators (Orange, Deutsche Telekom) covered up to 350,000 households. Since 2013 Orange has offered 250/250 Mbit/s. Another ISPs, Bonet and Vnet offer symmetrical 1 Gbit/s for only €25/€22 respectively.^[102]^[103]

Kosovo[]

In Kosovo, FTTN (N=Neighborhood) has been deployed by Telecom Kosovo since 2000 in selected areas of Pristina, Peja, Prizren, Mitrovica, Ferizaj, Gjilan and other cities in Kosovo. More than 800 km connects 50 locations in MASH topology, in 2010 Telecom Kosovo introduced Triple-Play for its customers.^{[citation needed]}

Slovenia[]

In Slovenia, FTTH was first deployed in Kranj by T-2. Currently optical fiber infrastructure for FTTH is being built by Gratel and Telekom Slovenije in Šenčur, Ljubljana, Koper, Portorož, Novo Mesto, Murska Sobota, Maribor, Slovenska Bistrica, Velenje, Nova Gorica and Jesenice. The plan by both companies is to cover all the major and smaller towns first before they roll out fiber to suburbs. T-2 FTTH speed ranges from 10/10 Mbit/s (€23/month), 20/20 Mbit/s (€30/month), 50/50 Mbit/s (€41/month), 100/10 Mbit/s (€29/month), 100/100 Mbit/s (€51/month), 200/200 Mbit/s (€200/month), 500/500 Mbit/s (€500/month), and up to 1 Gbit/s (€1,000/month). Telekom Slovenije (national ISP) offers FTTH speeds from 20/20 Mbit/s (€33/month), 60/60 Mbit/s (€87/month) and 100/100 Mbit/s (€147).^{[citation needed]}

In mid 2011, T-2 finished negotiations with Gratel to greatly expand FTTH penetration in its home city Maribor, where the T-2's main offices are located. The expenditure is rumored to connect more than 25,000 new households including skyscrapers in the city's south center area Tabor (the right/south side of the river). The construction started immediately and is continuing rapidly.^[104]

Spain[]

Spain will have completely converted its telephone network to FTTH by 2020.^[105] In 2015 it had 10 million homes connected with FTTH.

Spain has supported FTTH a lot, for example by giving annual government subsidies for expanding the network, actually, because of this, Spain has more FTTH coverage than Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom altogether.^{[citation needed]}

In Spain the first FTTH network commercially deployed is in the mining valleys of Asturias. The network has an Open Access FTTH Network architecture allowing end users to select from several different service providers called Red Asturcón.^[106]

The Guifi.net Foundation is providing Fiber from the Farms (FFTF) in Gurb (Catalonia), a FTTH service, symmetric at 1 Gbit/s in both the downstream and upstream directions.^[107]

Telefónica-Movistar is also providing GPON-based FTTH services, ranging from 100 Mbit/s (downstream) and 100 Mbit/s (upstream) to 600 and 600 Mbit/s.^{[citation needed]}

Movistar now offers 600 Mbit/s symmetric in more than 16 million households and businesses all over the country planning to reach 100% coverage by 2020. From 2016 FTTH lines surpassed ADSL customers with more than 3 million. Movistar is also the major carrier in all technologies according to the Spanish regulator, CNMC.^[108]

Now 2018 Vodafone offers 1 Gbit/s for 45 euros a month. Other ISPs also offering 1 Gbit/s connections (and some of them being symmetrical, though they are a minority) are Orange, Yoigo and Adamo.^{[citation needed]}

Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and are the four companies that have their own nationwide coverage with all of them being FTTH except Vodafone which has both FTTH and HFC since the purchase of Ono, which had HFC network, but it is Docsis 3.1, so they are able to provide 1Gbps symmetrical in both networks, other companies either rent their lines (which they are obliged to lend) or are regional operators like R (Galicia), Euskaltel (País Vasco) and Telecable (Asturias)^{[citation needed]}

Sweden[]

Sweden has a vast number of installed FTTH connections both in rural and suburban areas. Municipalities and private companies are using blown fiber and cable in metro networks. For metro networks, fibre cable are used with fibre counts ranging from eight to 96 SM and blown fibre with bundles of 8 fibers or less, for connecting houses and apartments. Competitors to Telia, the Swedish incumbent, helped to drive the early development of fiberbased broadband installations made by Bredbandsbolaget and others. For instance by municipality owned power companies and housing corporations.^{[citation needed]}

Stokab, Stockholm's city-owned network company, is the owner of one of the largest dark fiber city networks in Europe. Ribbon cables, new micro cables and blown fiber used by Stokab, are facilitating the installation. New smart network designs, cuts construction costs and eliminates the need to dig up streets and sidewalks to connect building properties one by one. Stokab installs a fibre optic cable from its metro network into the basement of a building where it terminates all the fibres from the street. From the termination box Stokab then installs a multiduct with micro ducts that goes through all the basements on the block to form a ring. Each building has a 'delivery point' from which Stokab can connect a micro duct when the building owner wants fibre.^{[citation needed]}

Stokab connected 10 city blocks in central Stockholm during 2006, each with about 250 apartments. Stokab plans to connect 100 more blocks in 2007–2008. Some of the biggest scale projects are now built in Stockholm, where housing corporations use micro duct to blow cable and fiber to connect tenants. In Stockholm, housing corporations (Svenska Bostäder, Stockholmshem, Familjebostäder) will connect more than 100,000 apartments over the coming years forming the world's largest Open Fiber to the Home network. Tenants can choose among competing service providers of Internet, telephony and TV.^{[citation needed]}

The dominating active FTTH technology used in Sweden is AON, some few PON based projects are also up and running. A standard for national certification of fiber installers has been formed in order to keep high installation quality and lower maintenance costs. As of March 2009, Sweden has 8% of households connected with fiber, making Sweden number one in Europe FTTH-wise.^{[citation needed]}

In Autumn 2010, Sweden is due to launch 1 Gbit/s in some areas for 999SEK per month.^[109]

Switzerland[]

In Switzerland, fiber is available in major cities and some other municipalities.^[110] In 2013, most fiber users had 100 Mbit/s connections, and by the end of 2013, 700,000 fiber customers were eligible for gigabit FTTH access through Swisscom. By 2015, 1 million of Swisscom's customers had FTTH, 500,000 had FTTS or FTTB, with a further 800,000 customers having at least 100 Mbit/s through vectored DSL. 80% of households are scheduled to have at least 100 Mbit/s by 2020, however it is not yet clear which technology will be used.^[111] Swisscom is currently the leading investor having invested 1.75 billion CHF in 2013, however there are currently over 80 other registered fiber optic providers, composed of national providers, and smaller community/regional ones that also plan to expand the fiber network.^[112]

Swiss ISP Offers 10 Gbit/s Broadband, TV & Phone for 50eur/month.

Another ISP called SALT (owned by French billionaire Xavier Niel's private equity investor NJJ Capital since 2015) uses XGS-PON technology to offer symmetrical 10 Gbit/s (both upload and download speeds of 10 Gbit/s) FTTH broadband connection in over 30 cities in Switzerland and expanding to more. It launched its fiber services in March 2018 at a price of 49.95 Swiss francs per month (39.95 Swiss francs per month from its mobile customers) which is the cheapest tariff for a 10 Gbit/s broadband anywhere in the world.^[113]^[114]

Turkey[]

In Turkey, Tellcom started its FTTB service "QuikNET" in December 2007. The initial tariff had 100/100 Mbit/s service at a price of 109 TL/month (~=73 $/month).^[115]

Superonline (an ADSL operator) acquired Tellcom on 5 January 2009 and continued the fiber internet service on highly populated buildings, along with its ADSL service. The name of the fiber Internet service is "Superonline Fiber Internet". Currently offered tariffs are 10/1 Mbit/s (99 TL/month ~= 65 $/month), 20/5 Mbit/s (199TL ~= 135 $/month), 50/5 Mbit/s (399TL ~= 265 $/month and 100/5 Mbit/s (599TL ~=400 $/month). Tariffs include low priced fiber packages with download quotas and after quota limits are reached, extra downloads cost fees depending on the amount of the download (9.4 TL / GB =~ 6.$3 / GB). Finally there are packages with "fair use policy" which limit the fiber speed to 512/128 kbit/s once download caps are reached. The download caps are set at 5 times the download speed and 10 times the upload speed in terms of GB (As an example, 10/1 Mbit/s "fair use" tariff has 50 GB/10 GB fair usage quotas).^[116]

Superonline's "fair use policy" tariffs, price increases for the unlimited tariffs (73 $/month to 400 $/month for the 100 Mbit unlimited tariff) and the reduced upload speeds from symmetrical upload speed to 5 Mbit upload speed have created a controversy^[117] among its users and a protest group was formed condemning Superonline for its actions.^[118]

Superonline announced on its April 2010 monthly bill^[119] that after 15 June 2010, all upload speeds will be decreased to 1 Mbit/s for the fiber internet tariffs. This includes the 20/5 Mbit/s, 50/5 Mbit/s, and 100/5 Mbit/s tariffs, thus after 15 June 2010, these tariffs will be 20/1 Mbit/s, 50/1 Mbit/s and, 100/1 Mbit/s. The 100/1 service with a download to upload ratio of 100:1 is the most asymmetrical fiber connection in the world. However, on 15 May 2010, Superonline sent an e-mail to its customers stating that the announcement on the bills was a "technical glitch" which should be ignored. This incident decreased Superonline's credibility among its fiber internet customers.

Superonline announced on 9 July 2010 that customers would be discriminated according to their internet service starting dates. Customers who started using fiber internet before 15 March 2010 will not be affected by the "fair usage policy", thus they will be able to download unlimited data while paying half the price of unlimited tariffs or in other words paying the same price as a fair usage limited user and downloading unlimited data.^[120]

Superonline tariffs in 2013 are 25/5, 50/5, 100/5 and 1000/20 Mbit/s. The cheapest prices are 49 TL ($27) for 25 Mbit/s, 89 TL ($45) for 50 Mbit/s, 109 TL ($55) for 100 Mbit/s and 999TL ($504) for 1 Gbit/s.^[121] The 1 Gbit/s packet is unlimited in any means. The fair usage policy affects all packages except the 1 Gbit/s tariff. The company has been heavily criticised for fair usage policy. The network's main drawback is it is coverage. No significant expansions were made by far. Although residents can fill the form for the fibre coverage, there is really low chance that this will affect future plans of the company.

Ukraine[]

In Ukraine the first FTTH project was launched in Odessa in 2006 by Comstar-Ukraine, LLC, a local branch of Comstar-UTS, Russia. The project aimed to prepare a basic network for TriplePlay service deployment. Along with the broadband internet service in April 2008 Comstar-Ukraine presented to the market the first Ukraine commercial IPTV project, which presently supports HDTV and Dolby 5.1 sound.^{[citation needed]}

Later in 2007 a FTTP project in Kyiv was deployed by Svitonline/Golden Telecom. Svitonline proposed tariffs: "Hourly": 20₴ (€2,70)/month, 25 hours included, ₴1 (€0,01)./hour above included. "Standard": 80₴ (€10,81)/month, 11 GiBs included, ₴0,01 (€0,001)/MiB above included. "Unlimited": 200₴ (€27)/month. Speed for all of the tariffs is 100 Mbit/s.^{[citation needed]}

As of 2015, nationwide FTTH GPON network is operated by Velton Telecom, which offers SLA for rates of 10, 25 and 50 Mbit/s, and non-SLA rates of 50 and 100 Mbit/s, with an optional triple-play (telephony and IPTV) package.

United Kingdom (and dependencies)[]

United Kingdom[]

In the United Kingdom:

In 2008, H2O Networks, part of the i3 Group,^[122] rolled out Fibrecity, offering Residential FTTH in Bournemouth, Northampton and Dundee.^[123]
In 2011, KC (part of the KCOM Group) began deploying fibre to the premise to locations across its Hull and East Yorkshire network.
In October 2011, Hyperoptic launched a 1Gbit/s FTTH service in London, which has since grown to include Manchester, Birmingham, Eastbourne, Glasgow and Sheffield. Hyperoptic will have passed 500,000 homes by 2018.^[124]
In October 2012, British operator Gigler launched a 1 Gbit/s down and 500 Mbit/sec up FTTH service in Bournemouth using the CityFibre network.^[125]
In North Lancashire farmers teamed up to create B4RN, offering 1 GB/s symmetrical FTTP connection to rural farms, offices and schools.^[126] The network has since expanded to cover much of rural Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire Dales, plus small areas of South Norfolk, Cheshire and Allen Valleys (North Pennines).
CityFibre provide 1 Gbit/s FTTH connections in London, Birmingham, Glasgow and 39 other larger cities as of July 2018^[127]
Truespeed provides an Active Ethernet network that delivers a “dedicated” 10Gbps link to every individual customer on their networks, which is built across the South West of England as of August 2016^[128]
Gigaclear provide 1 Gbit/s FTTH connections in 16 counties (predominantly rural and suburban areas) as of July 2018^[129]
Exascale provide 1 Gbit/s FTTH connections in Telford, Shropshire as of December 2019.
CommunityFibre provide 1 Gbit/s FTTH connections in some social housing areas
Sky plc provide 1 Gbit/s connections in York^[130]
TalkTalk provide 1 Gbit/s connections in York^[130]
In 2009, BT announced that its internal network division, Openreach, would connect 2.5 million British homes to ultra-fast FTTP by 2012 and 25% of UK premises following that. However, by the end of September 2015 only 250,000 homes had been connected;^[131] the full rollout has not yet happened.^[132] Later, in 2014, Openreach began offering installation of a 330 Mbit/s FTTP service called Fibre on Demand ("FTTPoD") to most UK premises, but soon stopped taking orders for the product as orders were proving to take far more time and cost far more money than had been planned. Openreach started favouring FTTC and G.Fast technology (which is constrained to a maximum of 330 Mbit/s download, at short distances in optimum conditions, by the copper/aluminium telephone lines used),^[133] due to the significantly lower costs. In 2017 it reopened ordering for FTTPoD and expanded availability to virtually all premises connected to a telephone exchange which supports FTTC; however, given the pricing was nearly an order of magnitude higher than previously, and contract terms were extremely lengthy at 36 months, this made it virtually impossible to obtain for consumers.
The failure of BT Openreach to offer FTTH to any but a handful of customers, and millions of complaints regarding poor service since it was functionally separated from the main BT operation in 2005, had led nearly all UK ISPs to call for it to be completely split from BT. Ofcom, the UK's telecom regulator, consulted on the proposal and, after informal negotiations with BT failed, stated that it would force BT to divest Openreach into a separately-owned company. However, soon after this was announced, BT expressed its willingness to do more voluntarily; it later agreed with Ofcom to separate Openreach into a different legal company (Openreach Limited), but still owned by BT's parent holding company, BT Group plc. In December 2015, Ofcom revealed that BT's FTTP network passed only 200,000 premises (less than the 1% of the UK's houses and businesses), whilst other ISPs passed more than 200,000. Still, only 2% of the UK was able to receive FTTP.^[134]
In 2016, hybrid-fibre-coaxial operator Virgin Media started its Project Lightning effort to spend £3bn to expand its network by 25% (4 million premises),^[135] using a roughly 50:50 proportion of coaxial and FTTP technologies. This was designed to bring its urban-based network to more urban and suburban properties, and especially new-build areas. However, the project has suffered a number of setbacks and delays, such as poor contractor work quality, community resistance and misleading corporate statements, and is now on hold.
In July 2018, the EU reported that the UK had achieved 2.3% coverage in 2017, up from 1.8% in 2016.^[136]
In January 2019, access to full fibre services was 7% according to Ofcom's Connected Nations Update.^[137]
In October 2019, Hull became the first UK city to have full fibre broadband available for all residents.^[138]

Jersey[]

In July 2018, JT deactivated their Copper broadband lines, with all connections being fibre-to-the-home with the lowest rate starting from 250 Mbit/s downstream, 50 Mbit/s upstream). Landline only lines would continue to be switched over to Fibre.^{[citation needed]}

Middle East[]

Israel[]

Israel's state-owned electricity company is deploying a FTTP network across the country. Target maximum speeds are between 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. The network will be funded 49% by the Government electric company, and 51% by private sector partners. Construction will begin in 2012, with a target of 10% coverage by 2013 and 66% by 2019.^[139] Currently (Dec 2016) the company has only thousands of subscribers and experiences significant difficulties.^[140]

Jordan[]

Jordan Cable Services (JCS) was founded in 2003 as a private company and it has a view to realize a cable TV and Internet network using FTTH technology in Jordan. On 11 April 2007 Jordan Cable TV and Internet Services obtained from the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission the individual license to build communications networks.^{[citation needed]}

Kuwait[]

In 2005 the Kuwait Ministry of Communications (MOC) selected Alcatel to supply a gigabit passive optical network (GPON) that will allow the MOC to offer triple-play services (voice, video and data) to subscribers via a fiber to the user (FTTU) architecture.^[141]

In South Surra, in four cities, Alsalam, Hutteen, Alshuhada, and future Seddeek. The project started in 2003 and service is complete, but with many errors in installations (mixed up phone numbers, inactive additional services like CallerId). The equipment is from Alcatel. A typical installation has four RJ32 female sockets and two RJ45 female sockets. Starting on 2 May 2007 Internet service is offered for premises with fibre.^[142]

Lebanon[]

In Lebanon in April 2009, Minister of Communications Gebran Bassil unveiled a study calling for FTTH to be provided to 40,000 subscribers residing on Hamra Street and to 35,000 others residing in Achrafieh, both located in Beirut. If approved by the cabinet, the system will take 10 months to complete and would make Internet access speeds of 70 Mbit/s possible.^[143]^{[needs update]}

Chile[]

In Chile:

The first provider to offer FTTH was GTD-Manquehue (a subsidiary of Grupo GTD) in a 2006 pilot. This service offers symmetrical 100 Mbit/s and is available only in some sectors of the capital city Santiago. In 2008, following the success of the FTTH pilot, Gtd Manquehue committed to deploy a commercial FTTH network, in certain areas of Vitacura, Santiago. The network will enable Gtd Manquehue to migrate its traditional voice services to Voice over IP (VoIP) and to deliver advanced services such as High Definition Television (HDTV), IP Television (IPTV), Video on Demand (VoD) and high speed Internet access.

State telecommunications company Antel started deploying FTTH in Montevideo in 2012, aiming to switch 240,000 clients that year with a cost of US$180 million.^[198] Previous DSL subscribers keep their contract, or may switch to faster Internet Vera plans: 120/12 Mbit/s for US$65/month, 80/10 Mbit/s for US$52/month, 50/10 Mbit/s for US$40/month, or 20/2 Mbit/s for US$28/month, with lower speeds after a 350 / 250 / 200 GB cap.^[199] IP television, voice over IP and connections in the department capitals are expected for 2013 and 2014.

Oceania[]

Australia[]

The first FTTH network deployed in Australia was delivered in 2001 by Bright Telecommunications – a subsidiary of Western Power, the state power company owned by the Government of Western Australia. Bright Telecommunications initially deployed Fibre to the Curb by Marconi and a point-to-point FTTH solution from Entrasys, but later progressed to a GEPON product from Alloptic. Bright telecommunications was sold to Silk Telecom (now Nextgen Networks) in 2007.

Between 2007 and 2013 the Australian (Labor) Government initiated, and were in the process of rolling out, an A$36.9 billion open-access National Broadband Network comprising GPON-based FTTP services to 93% of the Australian population at speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, with the remainder of the population to be serviced by fixed-wireless and satellite technologies. The network was to be built and operated by a Government Business Enterprise, NBN Co Limited. The Labor Government's plan was for most of the money required to build the NBN to be borrowed, which would then be paid off over 30 years by NBNco using the money it received from each subscriber as part of the fees paid to the commercial Retail Service Providers (RSPs) that sell services over the NBN, with the Labor Government projecting a 7% return on investment for the Government over the 30 years.^[200]

Construction began with trial sites in Tasmania in 2009, with the first services commencing in July 2010. The network was scheduled for completion in December 2021.^[201]^[202] The Tasmanian NBN trial sites were operated by Opticomm on behalf of NBN Co.^[203]

Under this NBN, customers would have been able to access 5 speed tiers, starting with 12/1 Mbit/s, 25/5 Mbit/s, 25/10 Mbit/s, 50/20 Mbit/s and going up to 100/40 Mbit/s.^[204] Future upgrades to 1000/400 Mbit/s are possible with the same network, but with upgrades to the transmission technology at either end of the connection.

Prior to 7 September 2013 Federal Election, the incoming Liberal National Party (LNP) Prime Minister, Tony Abbott declared that "We are absolutely confident 25 megs is going to be enough – more than enough – for the average household" promising to terminate the roll-out of the NBN CO's FTTH network in favour of upgrading Telstra's DSL network.^[205]

The Coalition (LNP) government elected in 2013 changed the rollout to include Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Basement (FTTB), and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) as part of the LNP Government's so-called Multi Technology Mix (MTM). FTTH will be serviced to 22%, primary Greenfield developments, or areas with serviceable copper or business areas. FTTN, FTTB and HFC will be deployed to 71%. Wireless and satellite will serve the remaining 7% of the population who are located in remote/regional areas and are unable to be serviced by FTTP, FTTN, FTTB or HFC.^[206] In 2018, the NBN also launched a Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) network, which aims to provide the same 100/40 Mbit/s performance as the original FTTP network at a lower installation cost.^[207]

After the establishment of the National Broadband Network (NBN) project, commercial telcos were formally banned from deploying their own Fibre to the Basement (FTTB) infrastructure in Australia. National broadband companies TPG Telecom and iiNet, as well as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), have published extensive submissions to the Federal Government rejecting the idea that such planned investments should be blocked or otherwise regulated to support National Broadband Network Co's finances.^[208]

Marshall Islands[]

Miconesia[]

Fibre from Guam since 2009.

New Zealand[]

In 2009, the Government announced a NZ$1.35 billion public-private Ultra-Fast Broadband partnership with four companies to roll out fibre-to-the-home connection in all main towns and cities with population over 10,000. The programme aims to deliver ultra-fast broadband capable of at least 50 Mbit/s upload and 100 Mbit/s download to 75% of New Zealanders by 2019. FTTH will also be rolled out to large users (including hospitals and schools) outside these areas.^[209] Chorus, responsible for the majority of the rollout, later announced the introduction of a 200 Mbit/s and later a gigabit offer in 2016.^[210]

Chorus' fibre offerings includes a Gigabit option. Chorus held a competition to name a "Gigatown" where they would provide the winning town with Gigabit residential fibre. This competition was won by Dunedin in November 2014, although as of October 2016 gigabit services are available across all of Chorus' nationwide UFB network. Residential Gigabit fibre broadband has also been deployed by Ultra Fast Fibre in the several cities which they provide with UFB.^[211]

As of March 2018, the original UFB project is 89% complete, with fibre available to 1,300,914 households and businesses, of which 550,314 (42.3%) have connected.^[212]

In August 2017 the NZ government announced an expansion of the UFB programme to cover smaller towns and communities. By the end of 2022, 87% of the New Zealand population will be able to receive fibre-to-the-premises broadband at up to 4 Gbit/s speeds.^[213]

Telecom New Zealand (Now Spark), the major telecommunications company in New Zealand, started a FTTP trial dubbed Next Generation Broadband (NGB) in Flat Bush, a new subdivision in South Auckland in May 2006. The NGB provides up to 30 Mbit/s downstream speeds over a Passive Optical Network (PON) with the only cost to the customers during the trial being a NZ$50 activation fee.^[214] This trial network was merged into the UFB network in 2013.^[215] Vector Communications provides business grade FTTP in wider regions of Auckland CBD and Wellington CBD, and extended network of over 770 km. FTTP services are available from Citylink in Wellington and the pricing makes it suitable for businesses only.

In November 2019, Chorus announced that 2 Gbit/s and 4 Gbit/s speed options will be available to everyone on their network by the end of September 2020, with an 8 Gbit/s speed option planned in the future.
