Suddenlink is continuing its rollout of gigabit residential Internet service, having just deployed it in Bossier City, LA, and Tyler and Victoria, TX. The 1 Gbps service is available to local businesses as well, along with multi-gig services that Suddenlink has offered for years.
The company's "Operation Gigaspeed," announced last August, has been accelerating lately, with about two dozen launches since July. Operation Gigaspeed is intended to make 1 Gbps services available in 90% of Suddenlink's markets by the end of 2017. Andy Parrott, the MSO's corporate vice president of technical operations, said some of the deployments are based on DOCSIS 3.0, while others - mainly greenfield buildouts - use fiber to the home (FTTH).
In addition to today's announcement, since July, Suddenlink has launched gigabit service in the following markets:
- Arkansas: Jonesboro, Russellville
- Arizona: Flagstaff
- Missouri: Nixa and Ozark
- North Carolina: Greenville and Rocky Mount
- Oklahoma: Enid and Stillwater
- Texas: Abilene, Andrews, Big Spring, Bryan, College Station, Huntsville, Kingwood, Lubbock, Lufkin, Midland, and Terrell
