Xfone Extends Fiber Network to Littlefield, Texas
Type: News

Xfone, Inc. connected its first triple play customer in Littlefield, Texas as part of the Company's new "Pride" fiber-to- the-premise Network.

According to a release, Xfone began laying fiber for its current build out in October 2010 and is expected to reach 19 new communities bringing the total FTTP passings to approximately 50,000 when construction is completed. The Company is funding the expansion of the fiber network using approximately $100 million in federal stimulus funding.
To date, Xfone has established its FTTP network in Lubbock, Levelland, Smyer, and Wolfforth, Texas, providing customers in those communities access to voice, video and internet services using high speed broadband.

Guy Nissenson, Xfone's President and CEO, said, "Our fiber network provides some of the highest speed bandwith available and has gained great acceptance from customers in Lubbock, Levelland and Smyer. We're very pleased to have the opportunity to establish our state of the art fiber network to bring voice, video, and internet services to new communities like Littlefield that did not previously have access to high speed broadband. With consumers' increasing reliance on the internet, both in residential and business applications, speed and accessibility are very important and our network offers both. Construction of the Pride Network is progressing and we look forward to bringing advanced broadband to more customers in the coming weeks."

Xfone is a provider of high speed broadband services, including Internet access, digital cable TV programming and local and long distance telephone service to residential and business customers in northern Texas and southeastern Louisiana.
