Does that mean the cable wasn’t replaced?

Has it at least been checked whether the two wires are connected correctly?

Are you sure that the cable is a continuous one without the bridge taps mentioned?

Did you notice a difference after changing cans?

1.) Only the can was replaced.

2.) It is a continuous cable.

3.) The box was checked by Cablex.

4.) Performance improvement easily noticeable. Formerly 40 year old T+T can.

Ok, then the cable will also be 40 years old. So no U72, but old “bell wire”. Unsuitable for today’s sophisticated g.fast installations if you want to get the last bit of speed out of it.

What was ok for ADSL with 20 MBit 10 years ago is no longer necessarily suitable for g.fast with 500 or more MBit/s today.

That sounds like U72, which is exactly how it should be…

Speaking of the U72: Universal cable in 1972…50 years later still “state of the art”

However, something is pretty fishy here if so little is received compared to the checker…

    Yes, that is quite possible. For me there are 2 wires, one is white and one is blue. They are separate and not shielded.


    sounds like G51 1×2× 0.8 or 0.6 cable. Should be twisted…

    I have another question. My UP box has reached its lifespan and the screws can no longer be tightened and it wobbles a lot. Can it also be replaced during the BBR installation? Year of construction 1980.

    @Wiflieya80 1980 is not that old for a UP, there are also much older ones without screw terminals, nothing (must be soldered)

    If the UP is actually defective then the technician will pass it on to Swisscom

    If I were you, I would let a professional do it (you’ve already ordered a technician from what I’ve read) and not tinker around myself

    Tomorrow I will pass the order on to Swisscom (Cablex) and will make an appointment. Better to spend 250 than break something. Better safe than sorry! I noticed (if it’s true) that I have fiber optic up to 3 meters in front of my UP. No matter how close, FTTH on demand is approx. 6,500.-

    I meant these pictures on December 24th, 2023. You should pass them on to the community here.

    I probably didn’t write down exactly enough what to photograph.

    My gut feeling already had such a picture in mind back then.

    I’m happy for you that it’s now being properly renewed😍
