What is Fiber Optic Network?

High-speed fiber-optic networks already form the backbone that carries Cincinnati Bell's TV, Internet, and voice services to customers throughout the region. After running hundreds of miles, however, the high-bandwidth fiber backbone network typically stops short of the so-called "last mile" between the fiber network and the consumer's home.
Unfortunately, the traditional coaxial and copper infrastructures in many communities may not support the delivery of advanced services such as uncompressed high-definition channels or faster Internet connections.

With the upgrade to a fiber-optic "last mile" infrastructure, Cincinnati Bell brings the connection directly to your community and eliminates bottlenecks in the delivery of high-definition TV and high-speed Internet services.

How do Fiber Optics benefit you?

• Access to state-of-the-art video capabilities, such as High Definition (HD) picture quality, DVR, digital programming with an interactive TV guide, and on-demand content including movies, TV shows, music, and games.

• Broadband access to the Internet, which allows advanced gaming and music applications to run seamlessly alongside user-generated content - such as My Space, YouTube, and the ever-growing range of photo sharing sites and remote digital content storage services.

• Better communication via sophisticated wireline communication services, including your home phone line. This allows for expanded functionality such as online call management, and transmission of a clearer sound.
