The introduction of fiber internet has revolutionized the internet. Fiber internet, provided through fine glass or fiber-optic cables, delivers quadruple the amount of internet speed compared to other types of internet connections, which is the reason why it’s growing in popularity rapidly.
Altafiber Internet, which used to operate as Cincinnati Bell previously, is one of the most renowned fiber internet providers in the United States despite offering internet in only 3 states at the moment, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Due to this, a lot of people ask if Altafiber is planning to expand its internet network and provide internet in other areas.
In this article, let’s take a look at Altafiber’s plans regarding the expansion of its services and internet network.
Altafiber’s Mission
Altafiber’s mission is to provide homes and businesses with an internet connection that is fast, reliable, and safe. Cincinnati Bells has rebranded to Altafiber in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana in order to send a message to its current as well as potential customers that Altafiber now provides fully fiber internet and is focused on providing gigabit internet speed only.
Altafiber’s Investment in the Fiber Network
ALtafiber has currently invested approximately $1 billion in order to lay down or improve the fiber network in Cincinnati, and other areas in the states it operates in. Altafiber is also extending its fiber network to areas outside its current service areas. The company has recently signed collaborative agreements with Greene County in Ohio and the City of Greendale, Indiana, to expand fiber connectivity to residences in these regions. Additionally, Altafiber has established a regional headquarters in the Dayton market, featuring a retail store and business office within the city.
Altafiber’s Future Expansion Plans
On 29th August 2023, Altafiber announced that the company has raised a further $600 million that will be invested in constructing new fiber networks. These fiber networks will be extended into new markets that ALtafiber plans to enter.
Even though there has been no official communication, the new markets Altafiber seems to be targeting include Butler, Greene, and Warren Counties in Ohio, Kenton, Campbell, and Boone Counties in Kentucky, and regional cities like Dublin, Greater Dayton, Middletown, Xenia, Waynesville, Greendale, and Lawrenceburg.
