Report Finds 20.5 Million US Fiber Broadband Homes, Nearly 40% of US Homes Passed
20.5 million US homes are now connected to fiber broadband service, according to new research conducted by RVA for the Fiber Broadband Association. That’s a substantial increase since 2018, when a similar FBA report found 18.4 million US fiber broadband homes. Fiber broadband has been making gains against DSL and fiber-to-the-neighborhood (FTTN). According to the researchers, 2019 was the first year when more US homes received broadband service via fiber than via DSL or FTTN.
