Cincinnati Bell continues to make headway with its fiber network expansion, reaching 70% of the homes and businesses in greater Cincinnati.
Leigh Fox, CEO and president of Cincinnati Bell, told investors during the telco’s fourth-quarter earnings call that its bet on deploying fiber across its footprint has paid off.
“Our early decision to accelerate our regional fiber build has created a unique network, capable of continually producing higher bandwidth and faster internet speeds than our competition,” Fox said during the earnings call, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript. “Today, our fiber density footprint differentiates us from traditional carriers and allowed us to overcome legacy declines each quarter of 2017. Strong demand for fiber based products drove a year-over-year increase in strategic revenue of 11% and 15% for the fourth quarter and full year respectively.”
