Fiber to the home stuff - what does Uniti own vs. Windstream?

Uniti owns the fiber.

How about:

  • Splitter cabinets and splitters

  • OLT (optical line terminal) in the central office

  • ONT (optical network terminal) on the side of the house

  • Fiber patch panels and distribution frames inside the CO

Well the node that terminates the olt is usually not at the CO its usually in a roadside cabinet unless it's a legacy FTTH deployment. That's because of light levels and alot of our service areas are rural. The CO may be several miles out from where you would start and place passive spliters for customers.

But yes in some cases the state/region holding companies like Windstream of NY will have different asset holding the. Windstream of the Carolinas it's kind of a toss up as to who owns what. The beat way to see if it's Uniti owned asset is to look at unitis public network map

https://uniti.com/network?map=fiber

Be sure to click "exclusively leased" on the legend to see Windstream network

After you look really hard at that fiber/copper map ask yourself how this company could f_-k up so bad? Leadership is important...

Depends what area. In PA and NY Windstream still owns all of their assets.
