Fiber to the Home (FTTH) refers to the installation and use of fiber optic cables to carry digital information directly to homes. These cables are made up of hundreds or thousands of fiber optics, which are long thin strands of pure glass about the diameter of a human hair.

Yes, fiber has the capacity to transport greater bandwidth. This will accommodate today's demand for high speed Internet connections as well as advanced applications of tomorrow.

Yes, Fiber to the Home is considered "future proof" and offers the flexibility to deliver additional services in the years to come. FTTH prepares you to enjoy an even greater selection of communications options in the future.

Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to electrical interference than traditional copper wires and can withstand the shock and vibration from inclement weather thus providing greater reliability.

DTC is excited to bring you this next generation of communications technology. FTTH replaces the duplicate infrastructure that telephone and cable companies previously installed in neighborhoods. Fiber has a higher bandwidth capacity and can easily transmit applications like Telephone, Broadband High Speed Internet and Digital TV, with plenty of capacity left over for other applications in the future.

Yes, a box called an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) will be mounted either on the interior or exterior of your house. It contains the electronics that convert a signal of light from the fiber into usable phone, Internet and TV services.

In addition, there will be a box installed inside your home to supply power to the ONT. The box will also contain a battery backup in case of a power outage. An electrical outlet is required to charge the battery backup unit.
