On August 14, 2008, Cablex (Extremeña de Telecomunicaciones por Cable S.L.) has its first client with an FTTH network after a deployment carried out for 2,400 homes in Badajoz (Extremadura). Today Cablex offers 200 MB/s download and 100 MB/s upload connections to 20,000 homes.

Telefónica carried out the first field tests in Pozuelo de Alarcón and Campamento "Campamento (Latina)") (Madrid),[35] reaching speeds of 500 MB/s. Since August 26, 2008, it has commercially offered four Triple play packages over its FTTH network.[36]​ On November 13, 2008, the Telecommunications Market Commission authorized Telefónica to market this service, after verifying its correct operation. Today, Telefónica offers fiber at 700 MB/s in some areas of almost all Spanish capitals and in some other strategic geographic points, making deployment agreements with Jazztel and use with Yoigo. Meanwhile, Vodafone and Orange decided to join their efforts to make their own fiber optic internet deployment that offers 1000 MB/s download and 1000 MB/s upload. In September 2013, the company FibraCat") began to offer connections of up to 1000 MB/s download with 1000 Mb/s upload for residential clients in Catalonia, beginning its operations in Manresa. The Villa de Ermua has also joined high-capacity Internet communications through fiber optics. Thus, since December 10, 2013, the neutral FTTH network that reaches all people begins to operate. and companies in the municipality and surrounding areas Archived February 1, 2014 at the Wayback Machine.

In Andalusia, in July 2014, the WI-NET operator began migrating its own and WiMAX franchise networks in the provinces of Seville and Huelva to the new technology based on fiber to the home FTTH, offering 100 MB/s connections as a basic plan, as well as HD Digital Television services over fiber optics. Jazztel offers a 200 MB/s symmetrical line. According to the February 2014 report from the CNMC, the total Broadband access park in Spain was 12,350,000 connections, of which some 1,453,000 would correspond to FTTH, with a year-on-year growth of 151.7%[37]​.

Spain is carrying out a deployment in the smallest towns, giving rise to access to Fiber Optic[38]​ for people who could not connect. With teleworking due to Covid, they are carrying out an acceleration to be able to promote the small towns of the famous Empty Spain that are fighting to stop the disappearance.

For the installation and/or maintenance of FTTH networks, precision electronic instruments called FTTH analyzers are used, which measure different parameters of the signals used in FTTH telecommunications technology. Among the parameters to be measured should be optical power, MER, BER, symbol rate, etc.

FTTH is a term that even telephone operators themselves use in a confusing way. Sometimes, they use those acronyms when they leave the fiber optics in the neighborhood community. This is a serious mistake: for an ICT (common telecommunications infrastructure) to be considered FTTH, at a minimum the fiber must pass to the user's PTR (network termination point). From this point on, the installation is up to the user and they can decide what to do with the data transmission. That is, if it continues with fiber optic, or coaxial cable. Do not confuse the PTR with the rosette. They are different although similar: the PTR separates the housing facility from the community of neighbors. That's why we call fiber optics FTTH. If this occurs at the entrance manhole, you should not consider FTTH.
