I will contact Swisscom on Monday so that they can send me the Internetbox 5.
You won’t get the IB5pro for free (as you’re not a new customer), but you will get it at a special discounted price - if you sign up for another 24 months.
If you don’t have any WiFi 7-capable devices, it’s not worth switching to the IB5pro at the moment

René 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 subscription L and is it worth switching?
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.

gian at 10 Gbit/s, a technology change must be made from 1 Gbit/s (BX) within the fibre optic technology (to XGPON).
(If it was not done immediately when switching from copper to fibre optics).
If you then switch to XGPON technology, only the user speed is limited or not, depending on the subscription, but never the connection speed from the router, which always remains at 10 Gbit/s.
One more addition to the answer from @user109
You can see for yourself whether you have BX or already XGS-PON (if you use the Swisscom fibre optic cable with a blue or red plug on the fibre optic cable).
Blue plug on the fibre optic cable IB side = BX
Red plug on fibre optic cable IB side = XGS-PON
The difference is simply the speed. BX allows a maximum of 1 Gbit/s
So if you have blue Internet M, BX is completely sufficient.
Stephan_76 and what do you do if you only have the OTO socket (fibre optic socket) available? Your orientation suggestion is not bad, but does not always have to be correct if you do not use the SC cables.
XGSPON:
LC/APC connector (OTO socket)
SC connector (Router IB4/IB5 Plus)
BX:
LC/APC connector (OTO socket)
LC connector (Router IB 2+3 /SFP module)

user109 I hadn’t thought about that (not Swisscom cable). Although I think that the 0815 user usually uses Swisscom cable.
I have adjusted the text above. I hope it fits.

If you have devices with Wifi 7 and you absolutely want to use that and you have a PC with 10 Ghz LAN port and you absolutely want to use that - then you can switch to the IB5pro - otherwise you can well stay on the IB3 - especially if everything works everyday with your current IB3

Neufiengi85 merci euch !
