@5018 I wouldn’t exactly say it’s pointless in my opinion, but respect your opinion. I am aware that the projects, among other things (the greatest weighting), are prioritized based on the risk, i.e. financial effort. It is simply special that a far(er) remote town/settlement on a hill above mine (the same community), which is closer to CO, was developed. There was probably a reason for it (including permits? etc). “It is what it is”, we just have to be patient here. Have a nice WE everyone.
Cheerio
@robbieB is not meant personally. I’m always a bit more direct and clear 😉 It’s fun to think about things and speculate. You just shouldn’t expect anything to change as a result. Swisscom’s network construction has always been under great pressure, as everyone naturally wants to have the latest, best technology immediately and for good reasons. When stories come along that make everything even more expensive, then it just takes longer and longer.
There was once a mayor who accused my dear ex-colleagues of being personally responsible for the extinction of the community because he hadn’t installed fiber optics in the village x years ago. What can you say 😕 Smile and get through it.
My Anschluss is a 130/40 MBit/s VDSL Anschluss and I have to say, I can live with that very well. Expansion to FTTH will probably only be in 2026/2027. And will something fundamental change then? No.
No topic, I also think it’s great from you 😇👍 That’s why there are such platforms within the community to exchange topics and perhaps discuss them controversially. But you’re right, there are such “nonsense” local councilors who, IMHO, are not that keen on the dramatics and technology. But unfortunately you hear such a statement often. I don’t really care about modern infrastructure in the municipality (area), although it is part of the GR’s performance goal… that you have UPC or Sunrise via HFC is completely sufficient. Well, what can you say about that? I prefer competition on the infrastructure with dozens of different providers, not just wholesale providers😉. Anyway… life goes on 🙂
@robbieB You’re not completely alone in the area. On the map you can see that in the entire area, including the eastern part of Kempten, the connections are still connected to Outdoor PUS.
For whatever reason, no mCAN was installed. The only way I can explain it is that the FTTS expansion in favor of FTTH was no longer planned there. And then the WEKO story happened and now you’re at the back again because feeders across Switzerland have to be added first.
The photos of the PUS were taken because it will then be removed with FTTH, but the copper cables that may still be necessary are spliced into a sleeve in the shaft in front of the PUS. So only the possible construction measures were pre-recorded, as we will dismantle all PUS.
A little tip: The whole thing could be sped up if the property owner where the PUS is on it terminates the rental agreement. Or better yet, plan a building or something there so that the PUS would have to go away as soon as possible. A declaration that this is a nature conservation issue could also help. Since we will no longer be building a new PUS, FTTH would have to be planned there asap.

@Roger G Thank you very much for the useful and very informative background information. Exactly, as you said, it’s an unfortunate situation, but on the other hand we have VDSL, which is better than hanging on an overhead line or an ADSL Anschluss somewhere.
And regarding the property on which the PUS is located, I cannot, with the best will in the world, imagine that the property owner (possibly a farmer) will unilaterally terminate the ‘lucrative’ contract with Swisscom 😉
Unfortunately, the PUS was built about 100 m too high up as the crow flies. If it had been built further towards the lake, it might have been called into question with the revised nature conservation guidelines for Lake Pfäffikersee (stronger moor protection).
I thank you anyway. Patience is in order here, at least we were also “in focus” of the SC.
N.B.: Nice photo that you documented there; You have chosen a nice place for the PUS 😉
Nice WE,
Robby
@5018 As already written above, the commissioned network builder ‘Axians’ was on site and carried out a location analysis including photo documentation. In my opinion, that would have to come from there. I assume that the @Roger G also requested the material👀 regarding further planning and the PUS Lifecycle topic, and was allowed to post it publicly here (non-confidentially). 😇
Tell me, was it a bit hot for everyone today that we had to discuss a picture here? I’m not going to go there and take a photo for you, nor am I going to CX or other TUs to ask what they did there.
Of course it’s Google Maps with our overlays of the network elements and even deeper the cable routes (for Guido: “Lime”) and you can also use Street View there. This is a very useful tool that helps, for example, to identify overhead lines without having to be on site, or to look at old C-pillars… or to show you where a PUS is located. That’s all 😋

Back to the actual expansion topic, for the external locations of a pol. Community (which may have several ‘towns’ scattered around a certain perimeter). You mentioned in your post above that renovation projects could happen quickly… Well, when you talk about the ‘devil’, what a coincidence. In my case, I have now received a letter from the building administration in the municipality , and it refers to the renovation of the factory lines in my locality. Do you know anything about it? According to a request to the President of the Construction Administration, all stakeholders are informed in advance of construction projects. I now suspect that SC was not informed or was informed too quickly?! 😞
It would be ideal, after the opportunity was missed a year ago when renovating Schulhausstrasse, not to use the open “street holes” again to insert the empty pipes or fiber optic cables/feeders if necessary! That would be sub-optimal, even annoying, and questionable from an ecological point of view if the roads had to be torn up again at a later date. 😉

@robbieB Ugh, the physical structure is way too far away from me.
Important to know: The municipalities and their constructive planning (line routing, position of the sockets, etc.) are assigned to the TU by Swisscom. They then have to plan the communities with their resources. This means that the TU must be informed about such projects. And yes, we are normally informed by the municipalities when it comes to planning such civil engineering projects.
And otherwise always applies:

If you put the information there, it goes to the right place.

Thank you very much @Roger G for the quick and friendly response with the reference to the contact point.
I have submitted my request and am looking forward to the answer.
N.B: I have attached a letter from the construction administration with the planning data for the construction work/renovation of the service lines 🙂
Cheerio,
Rob
@Roger G Do you even receive an answer to the submitted request via Netzbau? 😕 Or is it all “behind the doors”;_) I haven’t gotten any feedback on it since then, it’s a shame whether something is happening or it’s not considered necessary because it’s not in the “scope”…. …. It would be nice to know whether it will be helpful and whether you will then obtain the appropriate “permits” from the municipality. 😉
cheerz
@robbieB Hmm, I don’t know the process behind it. Ev. The request is clarified by the construction department and then submitted to the affected departments. According to my colleagues, we are very well informed by the communities about their existing buildings.

Now a new residential building is being planned on the opposite side of the PUS. There are 3 buildings that are being built. What are you doing now? Copper connection? I don’t think the existing glass flasks will be enough for 9 NE’s 😜

Now I think it’s time to plan for Auslikon, right?
