New Study of Real-World Fiber Broadband Costs

Sometimes it's more costly and time-consuming to deploy fiber than is practical. Identifying when it doesn’t work can be a complex matter. We’ve tapped a trove of real-world fiber deployment metrics from 132 divide projects in Alabama, California, Michigan, Nebraska, and Virginia to build a well-grounded model for the costs of fiber deployment. The projects served 52.7k homes across 3,240 mi² at an eye-watering average cost of $13.9k per home.
