kaetho I am of the opinion that if a thing is called PROOOOO you should be able to expect something like that, otherwise you simply leave out such designations.

cybi it’s only called “Pro” and not “PROOOOOO” 😉

Only Swisscom’s marketing department can probably tell you why the Pro was added to this router. The IB4 is only new with Wifi7 and an analogue port for telephony has been omitted. And a slightly different housing design, smaller and slightly fatter/rounder. Wouldn’t be enough for a Pro for me either. But there will certainly be a reason. It’s just not clear to us.

But what’s the point? “Faster, higher, further” is the motto! And with Wifi7 you have an argument in your pocket that obviously works 😉

I also received the new Internet Box yesterday and received very good advice from Swisscom. I am delighted.

Hello.

On 25 February I am switching from blue Internet M to blue Internet L. I currently have Internet Box 4 and according to Swisscom this should be sufficient. According to the subscription, the following is for new blue Internet L customers with direct connection to fibre optics: Free top model Internet Box 5 Pro worth 349. I assume that the subscription does not run under new customers of the L subscription and is it worth switching?

Best regards, René

For “new customers” there is currently the blue Internet L for 39.90/mth for the first 12 months plus the Internet Box 5 Pro as a gift. So far there has been no restriction that would prevent you from switching to a lower subscription before the minimum contract period of 24 months expires.

Thank you very much for your reply and I have already changed the subscription with the adjusted price. I will contact Swisscom on Monday so that they can send me the Internetbox 5.

Thanks for the tip and Swisscom has confirmed this to me.

If you switch from the IB4 to the IB5, the IB5 is available at a discounted price (for just under CHF 200). I only switched from the IB4 to the IB5 because the WLAN has been improved, which I have actually noticed for some time now. There have been no noticeable differences in Internet access and landline telephony so far. Hardly any average user can really use the 10GB speed, as the 1GB network is still widespread and still fulfils normal requirements. This was the result of my tests with 10 GB and 1 GB and so I switched back to the L subscription. When you switch from M to L, Swisscom has to replace a device at the centre. It stays there, even if you switch back to M. So you can always switch from L to M and back to L yourself in the customer centre if you think that 10 GB really makes sense. In my experience, however, it makes no sense to stay on L.

Best regards

I already realised that. I already switched to XGPON some time ago because I had the L subscription with 10 Gbit/s for a long time until I realised that 1 Gbit/s is perfectly adequate in my case, as the “remote sites” are usually slower (e.g. Swisscom Community 😁). = CHF 10 saved per month.

we have fibre optic and currently still have internetbox 3.
does it make sense from your point of view to switch to 5 ? household with 4 people.
