'''Fiber-to-the-home''' ('''FTTH''') is an example of a technology designed specifically to deliver a [[triple-play]] service package, which includes [[Internet]], [[video]], and [[voice]] service. FTTH has been in development and deployment for close to 20 years. However, only in the last five years has FTTH deployment made significant gains. Because it is a new architecture and requires new construction, it is a fairly high-cost [[network]] to deploy. The higher cost is outweighed by the very scaleable and flexible nature of the [[fiber cable]]. [[Fiber optic]]s provide the highest possible [[data rate]]s of all the [[broadband]] technologies and with upgraded electronics can support services at or beyond 1 [[Gbps]]. A lower cost variation deploys [[fiber cable]] to [[node]]s placed in neighborhoods, and then utilizes existing [[infrastructure]] from the [[node]]s to the home.
