Today, FBA released a new paper, The Progress of U.S. FTTH Availability by State, detailing the progress of fiber deployments by state across the United States. The study, performed by RVA LLC, compares data from the last 11 years and reveals substantial expansion in fiber broadband availability, but reveals states such as West Virginia and Alaska have been left behind.

 

Alaska ranks 50th as its FTTH availability and West Virginia remains in the bottom half dozen states. It is important to note, West Virginia secured $1.2 billion in federal broadband infrastructure funding through BEAD grants and was ready to submit a final proposal to NTIA which would connect every unserved and underserved West Virginia home with fiber broadband, under the available budget. However, on March 28th, Governor Morrisey paused that effort to collaborate with the federal government on potential changes to the program.
