very nice document, unfortunately this only applies where you already have cables that can transmit this amount of data, you are out of luck if you are one of the estimated 20-30% where you still use old copper cables from the central office to connected to the house. FYI: there are actually still such regions, although Swisscom has already implemented the 2nd or possibly 3rd expansion stage with fiber optics in urban areas… I think that if you can’t use TV, like here, you can only use the Internet 10Mbit/s is offered and the only thing that currently works is the landline telephone, Swisscom should only charge the basic price of (as it used to be around) 25.- and then sell expensive subscriptions if they also provide the service paid for, which Swisscom does now and has done for the last few years is actually usury!!

For so little service that the network can offer, there is no corresponding cheap subscription,

There are probably thousands of customers who have been paying “too much” for years due to a lack of alternatives………

Thanks again Swisscom……..

With such minimum bandwidths, I would never subscribe to a landline Internet Anschluss via telephone copper cable.

Does this property not have a cable connection?

If there is good cell phone reception, I would use a 4G/5G router (preferably with an external antenna).

There is no good mobile reception, a Swisscom technician even measured it and found that we are in the countryside, that’s just the way it is, it’s worth it for companies to have good access, especially to cities and larger towns outside It is not worth it in the settlement areas because the only thing that is the same is the high subscription costs for subscriptions for which the technology does not provide the promised services. The only thing Swisscom has done is made promises to us for years that were then not kept, for example fiber optics were built, but only for the village and a few hundred meters around it. Anyone who lives outside of it still has it years later the old copper cables.

If Swisscom cannot meet the minimum speed with line or mobile, as far as I know, they “have” to install the satellite solution…

The owner of my favorite car brand (a certain Elon Musk) has a company called Starlink, which enables fast internet via satellite for precisely these types of applications. For CHF 50 per month, it’s even cheaper than the basic service with 80/8 Mbit/s. 😁

ah yes, your friend Elon is the one who, as an entrepreneur, is even more unfaithful than Swisscom, he made Starlink available to the Ukrainians, and when they used it on a large scale, he wanted to hold his hand….. …

Nobody needs such recommendations…

Either you want fast and usable internet here and now (pragmatist) or you continue to stick to snail mail and complain until the end of the day about the lack of fiber optic and mobile phone coverage in your remote town (polemist). For Wikipedia it should be just enough for you to get the facts at your location: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink\_in\_the\_Russo-Ukrainian\_War](https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War)

Yes, but you can forget the Swisscom basic supply satellite solution, it goes via geostationary satellite = too much latency.

For Starlink you need an installation location with clear access in all directions, as these satellites are not fixed on the horizon, but move in flight paths. So don’t install anything quickly on the balcony, unless you have a large roof terrace.

Do all three providers really have such poor mobile phone reception?

Thanks to everyone who wants to help me, I found a good solution for myself.

Nevertheless, I’m upset about Swisscom and the way this company treats long-time, loyal customers and just wants to take money out of our pockets.

Show original language (German)

Just like me..! In addition, swisscom is the only provider that has access to the line. That’s why I had to switch to Swisscom when I moved!!

Maybe that would be a topic for the cash register crash😏😎

The cash collapse would just laugh at you, because it may be that you had to switch from cable TV Internet to the copper cable DSL network due to the lack of a cable TV network at your new location, but there is something else There are many other offers in addition to Swisscom’s blue product, because Swisscom has no longer had a monopoly on its line network for over 20 years.

If you want it to be cheaper than the new blue basic subscription, take a closer look at the alternative offers from Wingo, iWay and Teleboy, for example, which will almost certainly all be available as alternatives at your location.

Unfortunately, fast forwarding and rewinding no longer work. Despite the Replay light option for 5.-/month. where spooling was once included. Been fighting against this breach of contract for a long time. Just lazy excuses from Swisscom. And now, new subscription for +20%. Bravo
