Fiber’s impact

FTTH networks bring unprecedented access to communities, including improved educational outcomes for students, increased telehealth adoption and usage, reduced healthcare costs, and expanded economic opportunities for remote workers and small business owners.

Fiber broadband continues to drive economic development, especially in rural communities. Studies show that fiber connectivity can increase business growth by 213% and contribute to a 44% increase in GDP. For individuals, fiber access has been associated with a 10% rise in self‑employment and an 18% increase in per‑capita income. Fiber connections can also help boost real estate values, with single‑family homes that have fiber access seeing an estimated 4.9% higher value than those without.

Fiber also enables businesses to enhance customer experiences, reduce operating costs, improve employee productivity, and strengthen network operations. With support for emerging technologies, including AI, fiber broadband positions businesses to better meet their goals and remain competitive.
