50 Mbits that would be heaven on earth for us. Despite the fiber optic cable 200 meters from the house, we get 2 Mbits, well Swisscom has no money for the country

What do you mean 200m next to the house?

Are you sure whether the problem lies with Swisscom and not with objections or financial subsidies from the municipality?

I’ll dig up this old thread.:smileywink:

According to this article, Swisscom’s G.fast is scheduled to be rolled out across Switzerland at the end of 2016. What does such a rollout look like? Will all connections be served within a short Frist, or will such a rollout extend over a long period of time, e.g. B. several years?

That has nothing to do with land. Two years ago I had 60 Mbit in the smallest town and now I live in a small town where I have 12 Mbit and all the communities around have fiber optic, except us because the local council spoke out against it.

As far as I know, this G story is now underway and customers are constantly being converted - but probably a small part, so that support etc. can also be guaranteed.

If I remember correctly, it won’t start until the end of 2016. You will certainly also see this in an adaptation of the Vivo packages - with G.Fast, 200/40 would also be possible for the L and 500/50 for the XL.
but across the board? You can still wait a long time. Even the “ultra-broadband” target for 2020 is not nationwide, and vectoring is sufficient for that. For G.Fast you need FTTS, so you may be able to wait until the municipality takes pity and Swisscom uses it to finance the expansion.

G.Fast also requires an exchange of the microCANs, i.e. further structural measures.
If you already have FTTS today or will get it soon, your chances of getting G.Fast are certainly good, but Seisscom will, as usual, be careful not to specify any dates or communicate whether there will be a big bang or staggered (I’m guessing from the second because you’ll be quicker The higher the bandwidth you can offer at one location, the lower the incentive for the 500mbit with UPC)

In our community (zip code 3550), Swisscom is currently installing new mCAN on a large scale in mostly new manholes (FTTS). The effort involved in this should not be underestimated, but it is probably still significantly smaller than pulling fiber optics into all apartments.

I played around with the vadian.net checker. Interestingly, a few addresses even have a speed that can only be achieved with G.fast. For example, the address “Ilfisschachen 29”. Either the information is an error or Swisscom actually installs (in isolated cases?) G.fast mCANs here. The question is simply which subscriptions allow you to use the additional speed.

Checker information:

VDSL: 20000 Kbps downstream / 2000 Kbps upstream
After expansion at Analog EconomyLine:
350000 Kbps downstream / 80000 Kbps upstream

At my address there is “only” the usual FTTS speed. After patching to the mCAN, the cable length will only be around 50 meters.

As far as I know, the checker will also display data over 100 Mbit, but from what I’ve heard, the limit is currently 100 Mbit, even if more would be displayed.

It was explained to me that this will start next month and that there will be a special support department for inquiries (of course only if the whole thing has already been changed over). Let’s see if we can learn more. I think some people could live well with 100 Mbit, especially with regard to UHD etc

Yes, 100 Mbit is enough for me, but preferably symmetrically.:smileywink:

50Mbits you happier
A. Rohner

I don’t come from a mountainous region but from a city with 50,000 inhabitants and I don’t have glass and I don’t have 50Mbits, but only 30Mbits. Although I pay for 100Mbits symmetrical, when I will have 100Mbits symmetrical is still up in the air, perhaps never, as Swisscom’s answer remains vague.

@CapsLock I don’t know any other site either. I am in the comfortable situation and have 1Gbit/s fiber.

It’s not always the fault of the provider, it’s often political decisions. Especially in a city with 50,000 inhabitants, Swisscom would be “stupid” if it didn’t try to make changes. And an answer will always be vague unless something is planned, otherwise perhaps something is promised that is then not kept. Personally, I live in a small town and we know that the community does NOT want to approach Swisscom, so nothing will work.

@user109 | You lucky guy:smileyhappy:

@oldiesbutgoldies | Yes, that’s how it will be :smileyfrustrated:

EDIT: Ok, so I received an email today. It’s not a “super” announcement, as it will still take about a year until it happens. Nevertheless, I at least received an announcement and therefore give the SC a thumbs up.

Email text from July 12, 2016

Your personal expansion status:

_The expansion of the site to fiber optic technology is planned between May 2017 and August 2017. As soon as updated information about the expansion is available, we will notify you by email.

_

In Kundencenter:

Did you know? We are expanding the network at your location.

Between May 2017 and August 2017, the site will be expanded with fiber optic technology. This means you can now benefit from ultra-fast internet with an estimated 100 Mbit/s download and 20 Mbit/s upload.

@CapsLock

I’m happy - at least there’s a little light on the horizon. Treat everyone to it 🙂

@CapsLock
I don’t want to diminish your hopes, but for me in Arlesheim (4144, In der Schappe) it was the same thing a year ago.

Fiber optic technology between April - July 2016. July became August and most recently the entire expansion report was removed from Checker.

Although an mCAN is already entered in the network plan (network information), nothing has changed.

@user109

Any info on mCAN’s in 4144?

@mabu1

Of course I really hope that it will work at my address

At your “In der Schappe 4144 Arlesheim” I see part of it in light green and part of dark green on the map. What is the difference between light and dark?

I received a letter from SC around February/March stating (3 weeks later) that the internet would be interrupted on two consecutive days - due to switching to fiber optic…

Date long passed - Fiber optic was NOT connected/installed - Information to date: NONE…

It’s a shame, because with today’s means the information about a postponement is no more complicated than announcing the installation date…!?! (an email would be enough)… 😉

Does anyone know of a reliable “place” where such “information” can be verified?

The only reliable source is our checker. It can always happen that something comes up at short notice.

Thanks.
But the checker is just way too general…

The details would also be interesting for the customer.

Why, for example, was the whole “promotion” canceled at such short notice…? Or what the new “timetable” looks like…?
SC must carry out the installation or Coordinating connection data internally - why can’t this be communicated “continuously”?

In my case, I now have no idea whether it will work this year… or next…
…or did I “miss” (overlook) something…?
