COMING SOON!!! Imagine a fibre link connection in your home at 4Mps

Last week Nigerian ISP ipNX, whose networks had previously been based on WiMAX, announced that it will be offering Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) in the three cities of Nigeria's "golden triangle": Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. With broadband penetration at below 5%, ipNX sees its FTTH offering as one way of closing the last mile gap.

The network roll-out started quietly in Q4, 2012 and is expected to pass 500,000 households in 2015 and 2 million in 2017. Total value of the investment being made? According to the company, "this is currently confidential" so it may be that it will proceed bit by bit in order to see what the reaction to the service is ipNX's Head of Strategic Marketing, Kazeem Shitu said services from the FTTH network will be launched under the brand name FoS (Fibre optic Services). FoS is currently available in selected areas of Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki. The service will be commercially offered to an initial 50,000 households and businesses within these areas as well as customers in Ikeja, Apapa and Surulere from November 2013.

ipNX's FoS service is a 'quad play' broadband FTTH service that will offer customers a combination of high speed internet, fixed telephony service, IP-Television and video surveillance all bundled over the fibre optic network platform. The 4 mbps minimum service will cost N10,000 a month and it will go up to 12 mbps. for residential and Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs).
