Suddenlink Strings Fiber in Arkansas

JONESBORO, Ark. -- Suddenlink Communications has completed a nearly $4-million dollar project to install a new 162-mile fiber-optic network serving its Arkansas customers.

The new Suddenlink-operated network connects with the company’s national network and will make its services in Arkansas more reliable and less dependent on other carriers.

The new network also will enhance Suddenlink’s ability to introduce and offer improved video and high-speed Internet services, and give Suddenlink options to re-route network services in those cases where lines are damaged or other carriers experience equipment failures, helping prevent service outages.

Construction began in March 2010 and the network is now in service.
