Fiber Deployment Cost Annual Report 2023

The Fiber Broadband Association partnered with Cartesian to research the cost of fiber deployment and provide insight into how costs are evolving over time.

Cartesian received input to this study from across the industry and nation. Respondents spanned the fiber construction ecosystem from traditional providers to contractors and represented 35 states in total based on primary deployment locations. Information was gathered via phone interviews and online surveys in October and November 2023.

While no two deployment projects are alike, we found many common themes.
