The number of North American fiber to the home (FTTH) subscribers now stands at more than 6.45 million, up from 5.3 million a year ago, according to a recently released study by the Fiber-to-the-Home Council.

The study also found continued growth in the number of homes passed by FTTH networks, which rose to 19.966 million up from 17.2 million a year ago and 13.8 million two years ago.

Six years after their deployment began in earnest, fiber to the home networks are now available to about 17.4 percent of homes in North America.

Interesting numbers.

Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't matter what the percentage is, if your house isn't in it. And the worst thing is there's nothing you can do about it. We have to put up with the Shaw upload speed, unchanged for the last 11 years, only 50% more expensive now.
