Technology
Despite its relatively small size, Bristol, Virginia boasts one of the most advanced broadband networks in
the country. Bristol Virginia Utilities, BVU OptiNet (BVU) started planning a fiber optic deployment in the city
in the late 1990’s. By the year 2001, BVU had been granted approval by the City Council of Bristol for a full
deployment of a Fiber to the premises (FTTP or FTTU, fiber to the user). This project was to offer competition
to local incumbents and provide broadband Internet, cable TV, and telephone service to the residents of
Bristol. This deployment was one of the first of its kind in the United States and was widely watched by the telecommunications industry. A system known as Passive optical network (PON) was successfully deployed
to over 6000 customers in a matter of 2 years.
Today, Bristol Virginia is still one of only a few FTTU deployments in the country with a significant amount of
customers online. Bristol’s twin, Bristol Tennessee is also deploying a FTTU system similar to their neighbors
across the state line.
