Denmark

In 2006, FTTH was being installed in Denmark in northern New Zealand in the north and west of Copenhagen. Installations are underway by the DONG Energy power company as part of a project to transform their air power infrastructure into one consisting of underground cables. Their plans call for a 2010 completion date, after which they hope to extend FTTH installations to areas that fall outside the scope of electricity infrastructure conversion projects. However, DONG Energy does not provide access to Internet, television, or phone service itself - other providers hire cables to provide end customers with anything from phones such as simple POTS to triple play. In 2014, FTTH is available through Waoo which is a consortium of 13 regional power companies across the country. Stofa also offers fiber to home services. Some apartment complexes also offer FTTH. DONG Energy sells its fiber to TDC which leases access to Waoo.

Greek

In September 2008, Transportation and Communications Minister Kostas Hatzidakis announced plans to provide FTTH for 2 million homes in Athens, Thessaloniki and 50 other cities across Greece by 2013, at a cost of EUR2.1 billion and at "at least" 100 Mbit/s. Beginning in 2016 there is no Greek ISP offering download speeds in excess of 50Mbit/s, with the exception of one ISP announcing plans for 100Mbit/s by the end of 2016 in multiple locations.

Hungarian

In 2009, Magyar Telekom is the largest FTTH provider in the country. Fiber optic services are available in the inner districts of Budapest and other major cities such as Gy? R and Sopron. In 2011, the fiber optic network will be expanded to 800,000 households.

Iceland

FTTH is being deployed by Gagnaveita Reykjavikur (GR), a subsidiary of Orkuveita ReykjavÃÆ'kur (Reykjavik Power Company). In March 2006, they began connecting the cities of Seltjarnarnes, Akranes and parts of the Capital Territory. At that time they expect to have 50% of connected Reykjavik in 2008 and all Capital Territories, Seltjarnes, Akranes, MosfellsbÃÆ'Â|r, ÃÆ'žorlÃÆ'¡kshÃÆ'¶fn and HveragerÃÆ' Â ° i connected in 2012. However, deployments in other areas are pending agreement with city officials. GR only has FTTH networks; The ISP service is provided by HIVE, SkÃÆ'½rr and Vortex. As of July 2006, VoIP services are available from HIVE. In March 2007, Vodafone Iceland provided ISP and VoIP services and has introduced the video through the Iceland Digital broadcasting system, while SkÃÆ'½rr stopped providing ISP services. The FTTH connection is 100 Mbit/s, but by January 2015 all new connections are 1Gbit/s. As of October 2016 there are 6 different ISP internet offer services ranging from 10Mbit/sec to 1Gbit/s using the GR FTTH network.

As of March 2006, FTTH's monthly fee was 1,990 ISK (about 26 US dollars), excluding any services. This is somewhat more expensive than having a home phone line which at that time costs 1,340 ISK (about 18 US dollars) but because service providers require less equipment to provide services on the FTTH network the total price of the service (price network access service prices) is similar. As of June 2009, FTTH's monthly fee has increased to 2,390 ISK (about US $ 19 at the time), excluding any services. By comparison, having a home phone line has dropped to 1.147 ISK (about $ 9 US dollars) at that time. Still the total price of services for consumers remains the same.

Another smaller FTTH provider is MÃÆ'la which operates in the recently developed region of the Capital Territory, Gagnveita SkagafjarÃÆ' Â ° ar which operates in SauÃÆ' Â ° ÃÆ'¡rkrÃÆ'³kur and Tengir in Akureyri and surrounding areas.

ireland

OpenEir, the wholesale arm of Eir, Ireland's largest telecommunications company, launched the FTTH network. This service provides up to 1Gbit/sec down and 100 Mbit/s. and is an addition to the vast FTTC network, which offers speeds of 100Mbit/sec and 30Mbit/s. The FTTC network is built with enough fiber for every cabinet into their future-proof for the eventual FTTH deployment.

Siro, a joint venture between the state-owned power company ESB Group and Vodafone Ireland, also launched 1 Gbit/s FTTH download and 150Mbit/s uploaded to 500,000 properties in Ireland by 2018. The network uses ESB's physical power distribution network to carry fiber through channels and pole directly to home and office.

Both of these networks are being operated wholesale and end users can choose from different ISPs and IP telephony providers and different services for residential and business users.

The launch of FTTH Ireland faces a special challenge because the country's housing stock has a high percentage of individual homes built at fairly low densities. This requires more civil engineering working to bring fiber to every home than would happen in a country dominated by the development of a solid type of apartment. However, this is being addressed using innovative solutions such as running fiber through existing power lines and using a mix of underground and arial cables.

Italy

In Italy, FTTH has been deployed by FASTWEB since 1999 in certain areas of Milan, Rome, Naples, Genova, Bologna and several other cities, but they do not plan to deploy FTTP anymore because DSL deployment is much cheaper. Where FTTP is available, they have been offering triple play services on the 10/10 Mbit/s internet connection since 2010. Fastweb began offering FTTP subscribers the option to upgrade to 100/50 Mbit/s at little additional cost. Telecom Italia announced, in March 2008, they will deploy FTTH at 140,000 homes in Milan, at the end of 2008 and in 10 cities in the following year at speeds up to 1 Gbit/s. In November 2015 the state-of-the-art internet connection is represented by Vodafone fiber, limited availability in some areas of Milan and Bologna, reaching 1 Gbit/s at download speed and 200 Mbit/s in upload. This is FTTH, like the 100/50 connection that Fastweb provides in many cities. Most other connections advertised as fiber are actually FTTC/VDSL (Telecom Italia currently offers connections 30/3 and 50/10, while Fastweb is up to 200/20 and Vodafone reaches 100/20). As expected, the actual speed is about 20% lower than the speed advertised in the FTTC case. Fibers for Italian initiatives : This initiative has the stated purpose of offering 100 Mbit/s symmetric connections to 10 million Italian customers in 15 cities by 2018 and up to 1 Gbit/s for business customers. It involves the operator Wind, Tele2, Vodafone, and Fastweb. An ongoing pilot project in the Italian capital of Rome provides symmetrical speeds up to 100 Mbit/s for small businesses. Telecom Italia (the largest operator in Italy) is not a participant in the Fiber for Italy program but is independently committed to providing ultra high-speed broadband up to 100 Mbit/s symmetric connections up to 50 percent of the country's population (138 cities) by 2018 Both Fiber participants for Italy and Telecom Italia works with Advanced Digital Broadcast to provide residential gateway technology with embedded fiber termination. Since 2006, Television Sierre SA has deployed FTTH networks in most municipalities in the Sierre district of Switzerland. The Triple Play service is offered to the public under the Vario brand.

Latvian

In Q1 2009, Lattelecom launched the FTTH service with speeds up to 100 Mbit/s, which was initially available in Riga. In November 2009, the speed was increased to 500 Mbit/s in the selected area, but in October 2013 it increased to 1 Gbit/s. In Q1 2013, the company's FTTH service includes 450,000 households throughout Latvia.

Lithuania

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

In Macedonia, in 2015 Makedonski Telekom is the largest among the various FTTH providers in the country. Fiber optic services are currently available in major cities in the country, as well as some rural areas. This service offers symmetrical speed of 40/50/60/1000 Mbit/s in triple play and double play package.

Moldova

In Moldova, FTTx has been deployed by StarNet and Arax since 2006 and Moldtelecom since 2008 in Chi town? In? U at first and in other cities and regional centers later. Since then the network has grown rapidly due to healthy competition between the two top ISPs in the country - StarNet and Moldtelecom. The result of this competition is that in 2013 the FTTx became the dominant access technology in the country and remains so to this day, holding almost 60% of the broadband market by 2017. There are many local ISPs and only two countries (StarNet and Moldtelecom) offers Internet access via FTTx. StarNet and Moldtelecom both offer 100/100Mbit (and higher) Internet connections via FTTx in Chi city? In? U and B? L? I as well as all other major cities and regional centers for around EUR10 per month.

Montenegro

Montenegring Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services began reporting on the number of FTTx connections for the first time in September 2011. In January 2015, 13.16% of all Internet connections in Montenegro (cellular networks excluded) were FTTx connections. With this type of connection, ADSL leads with a usage rate of 71.17%. Of all FTTx connections 62.31% are FTTH, 36.22% are FTTB and 1.47% are FTTC. Crnogorski Telekom which is part of the Deutsche Telekom group holds the majority of the FTTx market. Crnogorski Telekom provides FFTx service only in the form of FTTH connection and that is only FTTH service provider in the country. FTTB connections are offered by cable television providers.

Dutch

In the Netherlands in the town of Eindhoven and the nearby village of Nuenen, there is a large network of 15,000 connections. Triple play offered. Home and company are connected with single-mode fiber. This network is owned by its own members, who form a company. The first European FTTH project is also in Eindhoven in an environment known as "Vlinderflats". It is a multi-mode fiber but in 2005 converted into single-mode fiber. FTTH generates new broadband services; Residents started their own broadband TV station called VlinderTV.

Since October 2006 fiber optic connections are being used in the city of Amsterdam. In the first phase of the deployment, there were approximately 40,000 planned connections with the first available for connection to end users in February 2007. The network was launched in the districts of Zeeburg, Oost and Osdorp. The network owner is GNA CV, operator of BBned, a subsidiary of Telecom Italia. BBned operates as a wholesaler that does not differentiate capacity to service providers. This arrangement, with the structural separation of network ownership and delivery of services, ensures that the network is open to all.

Also, other companies are building new FTTH networks in Arnhem, Nijmegen, Amersfoort, Hilversum, Soest, Leiden and Utrecht. These networks are almost complete. The first house was connected around March 2005. If all goes according to plan, the last house on this network will connect in June 2007. The network also provides triple play services. Internet connection speeds vary from 24, 48 and 100 Mbit/s (up and down).

Deventer City will be the first city in the Netherlands to be fully connected with FTTH, by the end of 2009. Already in the first quarter of 2009, more than half of about 100,000 citizens can use the FTTH service. Single play, double play and triple play are offered, with speeds of 35 and 50 Mbit/s. In the near future, this speed will be increased to 50 and 100 Mbit/s.

In recent years, widespread dissemination has been done by the Dutch company, Reggefiber. However, in 2013 Reggefiber was acquired by KPN and its launch was significantly less since then.

Norwegian

Many compaines currently provide FTTH/FTTP in Norway for consumers and businesses. The maximum speed offered is symmetrical 10Gbits.

Polish

In February 2017, Orange granted FTTH to 0.1 million Polish customers and plans to expand this amount to 3.5 million households.

Portugal

Vodafone rolled our FTTH to 2.75 million homes (2/3 of the country) by the end of 2016.

ZON was created from the TVCabo spinoff from Portugal Telecom. Furthermore, a large group of smaller cable operators are bought into new companies. TVTEL is 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 part of the ZON. ZON under current expansion program is not in FTTH network, but in increasing HFC (cable) network to Eurodocsys3.0 at 200 Mbit/sec on cable and 1 Gbit/s using FTTH.

But since 2012, ZON has been acquired by NOS

Sonaecom with Optimus Clix Fibra is the first to invest in large-scale fiber-optic networks, to reach 1,000,000 people in 2011, triple-play packages including maximum speeds of 360/36 Mbit/s (down/upstream), TV with channel 150 via FTTH and IPTV. The company first offered such services in Portugal. Currently after ZON and NOS are combined, they have around 4 million subscribers and now offer up to 1000/100 Mbit/s (down/upstream), TV with channel 150 with 4K capability through FTTH and IPTV.

Portugal Telecom launched the FTTH service in May 2009, Meo Fibra offers triple-play services with maximum speed (for now) 1000/200 Mbit/s (download/upload), over 200 TV channels via IPTV and VoIP phones; its coverage is still limited, but fiber expansion is still ongoing across the country. They plan to complete expansion by 2020. Special notification should be mentioned about the final development of PT FTTH network due to the "non-binding" problem of copper DSL network only after obtaining assurance from their respective authority (Anacom) that they will not be mandated to grant access free/open to other companies in their network.

Romanian

In Romania, FTTH was first used in Timi? Oara by RDS. Currently, available in every major city. The service name is FiberLink. There are 4 subscription plans: FiberLink 100, FiberLink 300, FiberLink 500 and FiberLink 1000. For home use, available from 2007, first only in some areas, but quickly expanded. All major carriers, RCS & amp; RDS, UPC, and Telekom provide FTTH, at speeds up to 1000 Mbps, but not in all districts and not in all cities and parts of districts sometimes even in some cities or parts of some cities. Only offered in big cities and surrounding areas. For now, RCS & amp; RDS is the largest FTTH provider, installing ONT equipment to end user destinations, followed by UPC and Telekom. In some areas, FTTH may be available but with less bandwidth than in big cities (especially in some rural areas FTTH may be up to 20 Mbps and analog television in some remote zones, sometimes even very small cities). Except for major carriers, some Internet & amp; CATV is implementing or starting to implement FTTH or has been implemented. It is used for Internet, Cable Television, IP TV, and fixed telephone. Speeds reach up to 1 Gbps on users, HD channels via CATV or IPTV and analog CATV, and telephony (even IP telephony). FTTH is used both for business services and home use.

Russian

In Russia, the ER-Telecom company started construction of FTTH network, "Universal City Telecommunication Network" (UCTN), at Perm. The following services are offered through UCTN:

  • Cable Television Ã, Â «Divan-TVÃ,»
  • High speed broadband Internet access Ã, Â «DOM.RUÃ,»
  • IP-telephony Ã, Â «GORSVYAZÃ,»
  • Services for companies (home  «office services», video conferencing connections, telemetry collection services etc.).

Serbian

In Serbia Targo Telekom offers FTTH access to residents in Stara Pazova and New Belgrade. This offer includes Internet and television access. Speeds range from 10/5Mbit/s, 20/10Mbit/s, 40/20Mbit/s, 80/40Mbit/s and 120/60Mbit/s. The Thunder and Warp plans include speeds up to 2.5/1.5Gbit/s.

Serbia Broadband also announced plans to connect 50,000 residential customers to an FTTH service called Fiber Power by the end of this year.

Slovakia

In Slovakia, FTTH was first used in Bratislava, Pie ?? any and Trnava by Orange. The end user speed is 70/8 Mbit/s (down/up). The service is Orange Doma.

FTTx connectivity is available at Michalovce by GeCom, s.r.o, which offers FTTB ETTH variants at speeds up to 33/33 Mbit/s (down/up).

FTTx connectivity available on Ko? Ice by computer and Antique communication, which offers variations of FTTH speed up to 1000/1000 Mbit/s (down/up).

In 2010 its coverage reached 310,000 households, almost 19% of the country. By the end of 2011, major operators (Orange, Deutsche Telekom) cover up to 350,000 households. Since 2013 Orange has offered 250/250 Mbit/s. Other ISPs, Bonet and Vnet offer symmetric 1 Gbit/s only for EUR25/EUR22.

Kosovo

In Kosovo, FTTN (N = Environment) has been deployed by Telecom Kosovo since 2000 in certain areas of Pristina, Peja, Prizren, Mitrovica, Ferizaj, Gjilan and other cities in Kosovo. More than 800 km connect 50 locations in the topology of MASH, in 2010 Telecom Kosovo introduced Triple-Play to its customers.

Slovenia

In Slovenia, FTTH was first used in Kranj by T-2. Currently the fiber optic infrastructure for FTTH is being built by Gratel and Telekom Slovenije at? En? Ur, Ljubljana, Koper, Portoro ?, Novo Mesto, Murska Sobota, Maribor, Slovenska Bistrica, Velenje, Nova Gorica and Jesenice. The plan by both companies is to cover all the big and small towns first before they roll fiber into the suburbs. FTTH T-2 speeds are 10/10Mbit/s (EUR23/month), 20/20Mbit/sec (EUR30/month), 50/50Mbit/sec (EUR41/month), 100/10Mbit/sec (EUR29/month) 100/100Mbit/s (EUR51/month), 200/200Mbit/s (EUR200/month), 500/500Mbit/s (EUR500/month), and up to 1 Gbit/s (EUR1,000/month). Telekom Slovenije (national ISP) offers FTTH speed of 20/20Mbit/sec (EUR33/month), 60/60Mbit/sec (EUR87/month) and 100/100Mbit/sec (EUR147).

In mid 2011, T-2 completed negotiations with Gratel to expand FTTH penetration in its hometown of Maribor, where T-2 main office is located. The expansion is rumored to connect more than 25,000 new households including skyscrapers in the south of downtown Tabor (right/south of the river). Construction begins immediately and continues quickly.

Spanish

Spain will completely change its telephone network to FTTH by 2020. By 2015, it has 10 million homes connected to FTTH.

In Spain, the first commercially deployed FTTH network is in the Asturias mining basin. This network has an Open Access FTTH Network architecture that allows end users to choose from several different service providers called Red AsturcÃÆ'³n.

The Guifi.net Foundation provides Fiber from the Farms (FFTF) in Gurb (Catalonia), FFTH service, symmetrical on 1 Gbit/s both downstream and upstream.

TelefÃÆ'³nica-Movistar also provides GPT-based FTTH services, ranging from 50 Mbit/s (downstream) and 5 Mbit/s (upstream) to 100 and 10 Mbit/s.

Movistar now offers 300Mbit/s symmetry in over 16 million households and businesses across the country that plan to reach 100% coverage by 2020. From the FTTH line 2016 surpasses ADSL customers with more than 3 million. Movistar is also a major operator in all technologies according to the Spanish regulator, CNMC.

Now 2018 Vodafone offers 1Gbps with 65 euros a month

Swedish

Sweden has a large number of FTTH connections installed in both rural and suburban areas. Municipalities and private companies use fibers and cables that are blown in metro networks. For metro networks, fiber cables are used with a number of fibers ranging from eight to 96 BC and fibers blown with bundles of 8 fibers or less, to connect homes and apartments. Competitors for Telia, the Swedish petahana, helped drive the early development of Fiber-based broadband installations made by Bredbandsbolaget and others. For example by the municipal government owned power companies and housing companies.

Stokab, the Stockholm city network company, is the owner of one of the largest dark fiber city networks in Europe. Ribbon cables, new micro cables and blown fibers used by Stokab, facilitate installation. New smart network design, cut construction costs and eliminate the need to dig roads and sidewalks to link building properties one by one. Stokab installed a fiber-optic cable from his metro network to the basement of the building where he stopped all the fibers from the road. From the termination box, Stokab then installs multiduct with a micro channel that passes through all the basements on the block to form a ring. Each building has a 'delivery point' from which Stokab can connect the micro channel when the building owner wants fiber.

Stokab connects 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 largest scale projects are now being built in Stockholm, where housing companies use micro conduits to blow up cables and fibers to connect tenants. In Stockholm, housing companies (Svenska BostÃÆ'¤der, Stockholmshem, FamiljebostÃÆ'¤der) will connect over 100,000 apartments over the coming years to form the world's largest Open Fiber To The Home network. Tenants can choose among competing Internet, phone and TV providers.

The dominant active FTTH technology used in Sweden is AON, some PON-based projects are also active and running. Standards for national certification of fiber installers have been established to maintain high installation quality and lower maintenance costs. In March 2009, Sweden had 8% of households connected with fiber, making Sweden the number one in Europe, with FTTH policy.

In Autumn 2010, Sweden will launch 1 Gbit/s in some areas for 999SEK per month.

Switzerland

In Switzerland, fiber is available in big cities and several other cities. By 2013, most fiber users have 100 Mbit/s connections, and by the end of 2013, 700,000 fiber customers are eligible for gigabit FTTH access through Swisscom. By 2015, 1 million Swisscom subscribers have FTTH, 500,000 have FTTS or FTTB, with over 800,000 subscribers having at least 100 Mbit/s through DSL vectored. 80% of households are scheduled to have at least 100 Mbit/sec by 2020, but it is unclear which technology will be used. Swisscom is currently a leading investor that has invested 1.75 billion CHF by 2013, but currently there are more than 80 other registered fiber optic providers, comprising national providers, and smaller communities/regions that also plan to expand fiber networks.

Swiss ISP Offers 10 Gbps Broadband, TV & amp; Phone for 50eur/month

Turkish

In Turkey, Tellcom started the "QuikNET" FTTB service in December 2007. The initial tariff has a 100/100 Mbit/s service at 109 TL/month (~ = 73 $/month).

Superonline (ADSL operator) acquired Tellcom on January 5, 2009 and continued fiber internet services in a highly populated building, along with its ADSL service. The name of the fiber internet service is "Superonline Fiber Internet". The rates currently offered are 10/1 Mbit/s (99 TL/month ~ = 65 $/month), 20/5 Mbit/dt (199TL ~ = 135 $/month), 50/5 Mbit/sec (399TL ~ = 265 $/month and 100/5 Mbit/s (599TL ~ = 400 $/month). Tariffs include low cost fiber packages with download quotas and once the quota limits are reached, the cost of additional downloads depends on the number of downloads (9.4 TL)/GB = ~ 6. $ 3/GB) Finally there is a package with a "fair use policy" that limits fiber speeds up to 512/128 kbit/s once a download limit is reached. The download cap is set at 5 times the download speed and 10 times the upload speed in terms of GB (For example, 10/1 Mbit/s "fair use" rates have a fair use quota of 50 GB/10 GB).

"Fair use policy" Superonline rates, unlimited tariff increases (73 $/month up to 400 $/month for unlimited 100 Mbit tariffs) and reduced upload speed from symmetric upload speeds to 5 Mbit upload speeds have created controversy in between its users and the protest group was formed condemning Superonline for its actions.

Superonline announced on the April 2010 monthly bill that after 15 June 2010, all upload speeds will be reduced to 1 Mbit/s for fiber internet rates. This includes rates of 20/5 Mbit/s, 50/5 Mbit/sec, and 100/5 Mbit/s, so that after 15 June 2010, this rate will be 20/1 Mbit/sec, 50/1 Mbit/sec and, 100/1 Mbit/sec. 100/1 Service with downloads to upload 100: 1 ratio is the most asymmetric fiber connection in the world. However, on May 15, 2010, Superonline e-mailed to its customers stating that the announcement on the bill was a "technical error" to be ignored. This incident degraded Superonline's credibility among its fiber internet customers.

Superonline announced on July 9, 2010 that customers will be discriminated against in accordance with their internet service start date. Customers who start using Internet fiber before March 15, 2010 will not be affected by "fair use policy", so they will be able to download unlimited data while paying half the unlimited tariff or in other words pay the same price as fair use of unlimited users and download unlimited data.

Superonline rates in 2013 are 25/5, 50/5, 100/5 and 1000/20Mbit/sec. The cheapest price is 49 TL ($ 27) for 25Mbit/s, 89 TL ($ 45) for 50Mbit/s, 109 TL ($ 55) for 100Mbit/s and 999TL ($ 504) for 1Gbit/s. The 1Gbit/s package is unlimited in any way. The fair use policy affects all packages except the 1Gbit/s tariff. The company has been heavily criticized for its fair use policy. The main weakness of the network is its scope. No significant expansions have been made so far. Although citizens can fill out forms for fiber coverage, there is a very small chance that this will affect the company's future plans.

Ukraine

In Ukraine the first FTTH project was launched in Odessa in 2006 by Comstar-Ukraine, LLC, local branch Comstar-UTS, Russia. The project aims to set up a basic network for the deployment of TriplePlay services. Along with broadband internet services in April 2008, Comstar-Ukraine presented to the commercial market of Ukraine's first IPTV commercial project, which currently supports HDTV and Dolby 5.1 sound.

Then in 2007 an FTTP project in Kyiv was deployed by Svitonline/Golden Telecom. Svitonline proposes rates: "Hourly": 20? (EUR2.70)/month, 25 hours included ,? 1 (EUR0,01)./The above hours are included. "Standard": 80? (EUR10,81)/month, 11 GiB including ,? 0.01 (EUR0, 001)/MiB above includes. "Unlimited": 200? (EUR27)/month. Speed ​​for all rates is 100 Mbit/s.

In 2015, the national GPT FTTH network is operated by Velton Telecom, which offers SLAs for tariffs of 10, 25 and 50 MBit/s, and non-SLA rates of 50 and 100 MBit/s, with optional triple-play (telephony and IPTV).

United Kingdom (and dependencies)

United Kingdom

In England:

  • In 2008, H2O Networks, part of Group I3, launched Fibrecity, offering FTTH Residential in Bournemouth, Northampton and Dundee.
  • In 2011, KC (part of the KCOM Group) began spreading fiber into premises to locations across the Hull and East Yorkshire networks.
  • In October 2011, Hyperoptic launched the 1Gbit/sec FTTH service in London, which has grown to include Birmingham, Eastbourne, Glasgow, and Sheffield. Hyperoptic will pass 500,000 homes by 2018.
  • In October 2012, British carrier Gigler launched 1 Gbit/sec down and 500 Mbit/second to FTTH service in Bournemouth using the CityFibre network.
  • At North Lancashire farmers work together to create B4RN, it offers a symmetrical FTTP connection of 1 GB/s for rural farming, offices and schools.
  • CityFibre provides FTTH 1 Gbit/s connections in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, and other big cities
  • Gigaclear provides 1 Gbit/s FTTH connection in some rural areas
  • CommunityFibre provides 1 Gbit/s FTTH connection in some social housing areas
  • Sky plc provides 1 Gbit/s connection in York
  • TalkTalk provides 1 Gbit/s connection in York
  • In 2009, BT announced that its internal networking division, Openreach, will connect 2.5 million UK homes to an ultra-fast FTTP in 2012 and 25% of UK locations thereafter. However, by the end of September 2015 only 250,000 homes were connected; full launch has not happened yet. Then, in 2014, Openreach began offering the installation of a 330Mbit/s FTTP service called Fiber On Demand ("FTTPoD") to most of the UK buildings, but immediately stopped accepting orders for products because orders proved to take time and cost much longer. more money than planned. Openreach began supporting FTTC and G.Fast technology (which is limited to a maximum of 330Mbit/s, at short range under optimum conditions, by copper/aluminum telephone lines used), due to a much lower cost. In 2017 reopen reservations for FTTPoD and availability extended to almost any location connected to telephone exchanges that support FTTC; However, given the price of almost an order of magnitude higher than before, and the terms of the contract are very long at 36 months, this makes it almost impossible to obtain for the consumer.
  • The failure of BT Openreach to offer FTTH to anyone but a handful of customers, and millions of poor service-related complaints as being functionally separated from major BT operations in 2005, has caused almost all British ISPs to call on to be completely separate from BT. Ofcom, the British telecommunications regulator, consulted on the proposal and, after informal negotiations with BT failed, stated that it would force BT to divest Openreach into a privately owned company. However, as soon as it is announced, BT declares its willingness to do more voluntarily; then agreed with Ofcom to separate Openreach into a different legal company (Openreach Limited), but still owned by BT's parent company BT Group plc. In December 2015, Ofcom revealed that the FTTP BT network is only over 200,000 places (less than 1% of homes and businesses in the UK), while other ISPs pass over 200,000. However, only 2% of UK can accept FTTP.
  • In 2016, Virgin Media's hybrid-fiber-coaxial operator started its Lightning Project effort to spend Ã, Â £ 3 billion to expand its network by 25% (4 million places), using approximately 50:50 proportions of coaxial technology and FTTP. It is designed to bring urban-based networks to more urban and suburban properties, and especially new areas. However, the project has experienced a number of setbacks and delays, such as poor contractor quality work, community resistance and misleading corporate statements, and are now suspended.

Jersey

In May 2012, JT Global offers fiber-to-the-home serabit (upstream 1000Mbit/s downstream connections, 100Mbit/s upstream) connections available to customers in Grouville, Jersey, with a staged rollout plan.

In 2005, the Ministry of Communications of Kuwait (MOC) selected Alcatel to supply a passive gigabit optical network (GPON) that would enable MOC to offer triple-play (voice, video and data) services to customers through Fiber to Architecture (FTTU) users.

In South Surra, in four cities, Alsalam, Hutteen, Alshuhada, and the future of Seddeek. The project started in 2003 and the service was completed, but with many errors in the installation (mixed phone numbers, inactive additional services like CallerId). The equipment is from Alcatel. The typical installation has four RJ32 female sockets and two female RJ45 sockets. Starting May 2, 2007 Internet services are offered for places with fiber.

Lebanon

In Lebanon in April 2009, Communication Minister Gebran Bassil announced a study calling for FTTH to be given to 40,000 customers on Hamra Street and 35,000 people living in Achrafieh, both located in Beirut. If approved by the cabinet, the system will take 10 months to complete and will make 70 Mbit/s Internet access speed possible.

Qatar

The government of Qatar established Qatar National Broadband Network (Qnbn), a wholly owned government shareholding company, with a mandate to accelerate the launch of high-speed broadband fiber (100 Mbit/s) to Home (FTTH) network infrastructure. Qnbn focuses solely on the deployment of passive network infrastructure, providing equal and open access to operators to offer end-user choices and efficiently leverage existing and new infrastructure in Qatar. Qnbn operates under existing law and under the terms of a license issued by the Information and Communication Technology Board (ictQATAR).

Saudi Arabia
