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.
Any info on mCAN’s in 4144?
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?
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…?
“Reliable” - My checker once said that an expansion was planned for a date 3 years ago. Nothing has happened since then, a whole part of the village still has less than 10 Mbit/s.
This year a large white cupboard (approx. 3×1.5m?) was set up in the Cablex village center. But I don’t know if there’s anything connected. In any case, nothing has changed in terms of speeds and no new date has been communicated.

The checker is not always reliable. Until a few weeks ago I was told that the expansion had been postponed for unknown reasons.
Now I have the following values:
What’s interesting is that I also achieve 25Mbit/s when uploading.:smileyvery-happy:
The copper limit of 100/20 is apparently no longer set in stone.
@Anonymous
I also had such good values at the beginning (only 40 m copper).
After a long time, the downstream was reduced from 110,077 kbit/s to 99,000 kbit/s - without me ever having any problems with the internet connection.
From a net 95,000 kbit/s I suddenly have to make do with 79,000 kbit/s to 84,000 kbit/s. The house installation is top.
Called the hotline yesterday, but it didn’t help: “It’s the system that decides how fast you can surf, it all happens fully automatically…”
What is your net speed measured with the Internetbox?
It’s great that things stay the way they are.
It is the sum of various automatically collected measured values that ultimately defines the speed. It’s better to have all points met at 99 Mbps than certain errors at 110 Mbps.
In addition, in everyday use (without a stopwatch or comparison measurement) you probably won’t notice any difference whether you have 110, 99 or just 80 Mbps.
Now I have another question. In Kundencenter I had the announcement that my location would be expanded with fiber optics and then it was written that ultra-fast Internet of 100 Mbit/s download and 20 Mbit/s upload.
I have the Vivo-M subscription, so why not upload with 100 Mbit/s?
I’m unsure again whether I will really receive fiber optics in Biel/Bienne or just a G-Fast? This would be cosmic, because Swisscom promised over two years ago that the entire city of Biel/Bienne would receive fiber optics.

Thanks for your explanation @Anonymous. Well, happy too soon. Since I’ll be editing more videos from home again, this upload doesn’t do much for me, they are raw files, like prproj files, that I have to load on the server and I finally wanted a timed upload.
It’s a shame, because the SC has always communicated that all Biel residents will have fiber optics, of course up to the apartment, what was laid in the street doesn’t interest me much. But maybe this rumor was intentional. I myself am from cable to SC, I really like the TV product at SC, but the internet…
So no real fiber optics in Biel/Bienne, I’m actually disappointed again.
I have to think about this in peace and quiet, as I still have cable Anschluss in the apartment.
@swissbeetle
You’re absolutely right, I had cable until November 1st, 2015 and really wanted a working TV product (which is the case now) and glass. I knew that I would have to wait another year for glass.
But now it’s clear that I’ll only get 100/20, with the funny title, Ultrafast Broadband Internet.
@hed
I don’t think it’s so great that glass is not just glass, and yet the name glass is deliberately used on the website and in the advertisements, without any information about the fact that glass is not just glass. But let’s leave that alone.

The Internet box measures 92 Mbit/s in the DOWNLOAD and 26 Mbit/s in the UPLOAD.
Other tools measure 99 Mbit/s in the DL.
Most tools give the fastest second, which is not very relevant. For me, the more meaningful 10-second average is over 10 Mbit/s lower. See below:
