Tullahoma, TN residents will soon be seeing engineers and installation crews working in town on the initial stages of the city’s FTTP network. Asked how Tullahoma’s FTTP differs from others, Toccalino said, "Honestly from what we can see it’s that the system is a very clean system," meaning that the TUB power poles are not heavily "encumbered" which would make it harder for Atlantic crews to install the needed equipment to provide fiber optic services to TUB customers.

This AP story profiles the installation of Verizon’s Fios FTTH service at a reporter’s home. The reporter is happy with the service save for an unfortunate incident during install: "When Verizon runs fiber to your house, the company needs to install a box on an inside wall. It was in drilling through a wall to connect that box to a fiber conduit that our installer hit an electrical wire. That knocked the power out and left our electrical box — and the front of the house — smoking. The technicians compounded this error by insisting that we pay for the electrical repairs, then bill them. We’d be reimbursed in 30 days, they assured us. My wife was having none of that. Verizon’s insurance company cut us a check for the $2,650 repair within days."
