Yes, anyone who can have bonding can buy the 5G Booster.

Talked to the hotline today. The colleague first had to find out more, but then called back after 15 minutes. The statement was that I already have the latest device with the 4G Booster and there was no 5G Booster 😥

Who can I contact to still get the 5G part?

Greetings and thanks

Try the number in the picture below.

Thanks. I called there too and was transferred to technology. They took another closer look and said that a 5G booster wouldn’t do anything for us and couldn’t increase the upload speed compared to 4G. 😥

@Ralphy

With the iPhone 12 Mini I have two graduations of reception for the 5G signal, with the 5G booster there are three graduations, see picture below.

Sorry if I didn’t describe it clearly enough.

• The 5G booster has not yet been officially launched
• Anyone can use the 5G booster if this is indicated in Checker or mySwisscom
• 5G is not available everywhere, I currently only have a 4G connection, but it is sufficient for the subscription

Anyone can buy the 5G booster for the IB2/3, but it’s no use if you’ve already reached the speed of your subscription via the DSL/fiber line today, or you don’t have a 4G/5G connection.

Well, I think there are certain requirements that have to be met in order for the new booster to be displayed.

I think these would be:

Certain firmware on the IB

booked a higher internet subscription than the checker states as the maximum possible (for example internet M, but checker only says 120/40)

It’s a good question whether 5G still has to be available at the address.

For example, the network card says that 5G+ is even possible for me, I don’t even know what that is😂

and if I’m not mistaken then bonding must also be technically possible on Anschluss. But even then I don’t know what that means exactly.

And can you really buy the booster in the Swisscom shop?

@TomTom66

If the booster is officially released, the correct SW is also on the IB. The current status is automatically distributed by Swisscom.

Here you can find the difference between 5G and 5G+ under the FAQ:

5G coverage Switzerland: 5G map | Swisscom

Bonding is the name of the process where the booster brings together the data from two different transport media (DSL and mobile) (to bond).

I don’t know whether the booster will also be available in the SC shops or whether it will only be available online.

Hello everyone,

I still have the following questions:

- With the introduction of the 5G booster, is it also possible to obtain Swisscom TV if you only have 10/0.8 Mbit via DSL (100/10 with 4G booster)?

- What would be the upload rate? After 2 minutes of uploading images with Lightroom, our internet breaks down for 1 minute despite a limit of 25% performance in the Adobe cloud settings. Would this be more stable later?

Thank you in advance.

Greeting

Jacob Meier

Afaik as of today it is not planned.

Maybe it will come in 2022 or 2023 or… - As is well known, Swisscom will only communicate it shortly before the release…

The 5G Booster is only available in Kundencenter if it is listed in Kundencenter.

If the 5G booster is not listed, you cannot order one. It’s that simple.

Ordering by telephone is not possible.

PS: I still have VIVO M and would have to switch to a Home subscription first. I don’t do that, the 4G booster gives me decent speed (additional 60 - 70 mb)

@realGoliath Sometimes I don’t understand such statements. Don’t be angry, but why do you sit on an old subscription and say “I’m not switching” even though there is a subscription with more performance (US) for less money? Please explain that to me.

And yes, the 4G Booster does a great job, but the 5G Booster only gives you more if you go to the inOne Internet M (if you also see more speed). I would only change because it is only an outside part and requires less effort to install.

Really easy.

Because as an existing customer I would still have to pay 149 for a 5G booster if I switched to an inHome subscription.

That’s stupid and that’s why I’m sticking with Vivo M.

LG

PS: I probably won’t be able to get the extra power anyway because of my bell wire at home.

The bottom line is that I wouldn’t get any more. On paper yes…

@realGoliath

What do you see when you check the availability and it’s not bad?

https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/checker.html

So, installed the booster now to test it 😉

Question: If I have a large window, should I place the booster at the top or bottom? The description says 4cm x 4cm below, but how do I find the best placement?

And a curious question: Before I test the entire house with the booster, isn’t there some kind of list of where the 5G antennas are in my place of residence?

No, there is no list where you can only see Swisscom antenna locations. The BACOM list can be accessed on the Swisscom website, but all of the network operators’ antenna locations are there without any precise allocation.

@realGoliath The 5G booster costs a really fat sum to purchase. Therefore SC cannot give the thing away for free. The price of 149 CHF is already subsidized. Qualcomm is still paying very well for 5G components.
