The number of North American households connected directly into optical fiber networks grew by 13 percent over the past year, indicating that telecommunications companies of all sizes are continuing to upgrade to next-generation fiber to the home technologies, according to the Fiber to the Home Council.
The Council 900,000 households across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean were upgraded to FTTH service since April 2011, as the total number of North American homes subscribing to all-fiber connections topped eight million.

In the United States and Canada there are about 161 million fixed network access lines, so FTTH represents less than 12 percent of potential lines in service, and less than five percent of subscribers.
