Dublin (OH) Selects altafiber to Provide Complete Citywide Broadband Access

The City of Dublin (OH) is announcing a new partnership with altafiber. The two parties will work to make Dublin the most connected city in the nation – by providing every premise in Dublin access to reliable, ultra-fast fiber. altafiber was selected following a “Request for Proposal” (RFP) process, seeking a partner to provide competitive access to internet service of 10 gigabits for all Dublin residents. The City of Dublin conducted various community surveys in recent years to determine residents’ experiences with their internet service. The survey results expressed a strong desire from residents for improved access to higher internet speeds, lower service costs and better customer service. Dublin, with its history of innovation in service delivery and community development, used this feedback to proactively address these vital connection needs. altafiber is the leading supplier of fiber-based services in Greater Cincinnati and has invested more than $1.5 billion into expanding its fiber network across Southwest Ohio. altafiber will be investing roughly $35 million in this fiber optic network. Additionally, the company will provide additional tech infrastructure, which could include a City Innovation Center or public Wi-Fi initiatives. The City will work to identify which choice best suits the needs of the community.
