More areas are getting FTTH – at lest this one is closer to home…
According to Bangor News Daily, Bangor area (Maine) businesses are to receive fiber-optic broadband Internet service. Locally-based Oxford Networks invest more than $4 million to install a 34½-mile fiber-optic network in downtown Bangor and Brewer, offering business customers fiber-to-the-premises, or FTTP, service.
Since 2001, Oxford has been constructing a redundant 600-mile fiber network connecting Bangor, Waterville, Augusta, Lewiston, Auburn, Portland, Biddeford, Sanford, Portsmouth and Boston. Services are expected to be available in May, 2008.
