What are the advantages of FTTP?
• Fiber technology provides nearly unlimited bandwidth, as much as 20 times faster than today’s fastest high-speed data connections. • FTTP provides more reliable service that is less susceptible to inclement weather and easier to maintain. Verizon can monitor the performance of the network and effect repairs prior to customers noticing problems. • The new technology enables a wide variety of uses, from interactive content and home shopping to telecommuting to telemedicine and audio/video on demand. • FTTP is easier to maintain and extremely flexible to customer preference —new products and services can be activated remotely, either permanently or on-demand. • FTTP provides an open canvas for technology innovators at Verizon and elsewhere to create the tools and uses of FTTP for the burgeoning broadband economy.
