The company made equipment additions and upgrades to address changes to material streams.
Fiber statistics and facts from authoritative sources. A must-read for journalists and consumers trying to understand what makes fiber Internet special.
Over the last few years, fiber internet has been a buzzword. You’ve probably heard it’s stronger, better, faster; that we at Windstream are already offering it in select markets; that we have plans to expand. But what exactly is it?
There are cities everywhere hoping for somebody to build fiber in their communities. I see cities surprised all the time when they can’t find anybody interested in building fiber. I think cities an…
Fiber-optic lines have revolutionized long-distance phone calls, cable TV and the Internet. It's a really cool technology that enables the long-distance transmission of data in light signals, and is probably used in more ways than you think.
By Lindsay Bull, technical writer If you’re like most people, you may have been reluctant to adopt fiber cable. There is no shortage of debates about whether there are enough benefits to swi…
If the company has its way the future of the data-center will move to being measured in racks as the bare minimum, which will be good for some, and pumped up by silicon photonics bringing fibre bandwidths right into the data-center, which should be good for all.
In this post — plus infographic — we’ve unearthed some interesting facts about fiber optic technology so you can get a fuller picture of just how remarkable this technology is.
