Design and construction is underway to expand Altice's fiber-to-the-home network footprint so it reaches 1 million homes by the end of 2018, the company said in a news release Monday. It said work is underway covering several hundred thousand homes in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. The operator said that, beyond its FTTH network, it has expanded its 1 GB broadband service to more than 60 percent of its Suddenlink footprint and launched gigabit service in seven cities.
