Internet-Booster 5G: check speed, order and surf faster

The whole thing still needs to improve, basic speed 120/30Mbit/s, with the subscription “L” and 5G booster it should be 500/100 Mbit/s according to information. be.

Reception quality.

I’m using the previous Internet-Booster at home, and I can’t find the option to get the 5G booster anywhere in MySwisscom.
I’ll try it directly in a Swisscom shop.

@Ralphy Will only be displayed if your Internet box has FW 12.02.xx on it. And that is currently not the case everywhere.

@Ralphy

I happened to be in a shop yesterday. They don’t know about it yet 🙂

It will probably take a few more days or weeks until they have the devices and are informed.

In general, for me the checker with booster says:

Internet speed: Max. 110 Mbit/s download and 40 Mbit/s upload availableMax. 430 Mbit/s download with the Internet-Booster 5G

It doesn’t say anything about uploading, interesting. But if I could get anywhere near 300 I would be happy. Let’s see.

@CorinaS

when I read this

The Booster is an Internet receiving device that combines the existing Internet speed of the copper line at home with the fast 5G and 4G mobile network. An internet speed of up to 600 Mbit/s is possible, or up to 1 Gbit/s from mid-2022. So you benefit from faster internet when working from home, when streaming video or surfing - even if you are online on several devices at the same time.

Am I correct in assuming that Swisscom will increase the speed of the existing S, M and L subscriptions again by then?

Is there a direct link where you can buy this booster 5G?

Thank you 😉

Thanks for the comments..

I have FW 12.00.56/12.00.62/01716

I just called 0800 555 155 and they are sending me a 5G booster… it should be there tomorrow

The argument that if I were to open a new subscription today and only the 5G booster would be sold and that I was generally entitled to the booster helped

@kaetho

It looks like you have no chance of achieving the speed of the “L” subscription with three graduations in reception quality with the 5G booster. I once temporarily switched from the “M” subscription to “L” and can’t even get to 350Mbit/s.

The “L” subscription was recommended to me in my Kundencenter but is practically impossible to achieve.

Tomorrow I’ll probably switch back to the “M” subscription, but according to the support request, that’s not a problem.

In order to achieve such performance as mentioned with the Tread with 1Gbit/s, the 5G antenna must be clearly visible nearby and all five graduation lines must be present on the 5G booster.

The advantage of the 5G Booster, however, is that you are not limited to a window installation like with the previous one 😉
I don’t have a window with optimal reception…
With PoE you are much more flexible…

@WalterB It basically says “up to” and the 1GB/s only from mid-2022. Until then “a lot of water will still flow through the Aare”.

However, the announcement suggests that copper subscriptions will generally be adjusted upwards in terms of speed in mid-2022. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t making a mistake?

The booster is out of the question for me anyway (already on g.fast with good speed, no 5G from Swisscom nearby and if so, then shielded by forest.)

@Ralphy I wouldn’t assume the booster will work with FW 12.00.xx. Either a 12.02.xx will be installed for you or the hotline won’t know anything again. Then you can currently download 02/12/36 for the IB3 on the SC homepage. That’s ok (if you don’t have fast).

Thanks for the tip @5018.. just uploading 02/12/40

Yes, the .40 is now officially available. Works very well for FTTH and VDSL. There may or may not be another problem with gfast. Therefore always download 12.00.x and if there is a problem, install it again. If the problem occurs, you no longer have a connection. So load both versions first.

I’m back from the recommended subscription “L” in Kundencenter to the subscription “M” because the 5G booster with only three divisions of reception power can currently only just achieve the performance of the subscription “M”.

Such information should not be included in Kundencenter as it gives false hope.

On the page http://www.swisscom.ch/internet there are several errors when specifying how long it takes to upload 60 photos (300 MB) ( Screenshot as an example from my Anschluss):

If 48s is specified for Internet S (100 Mbit/s), then for Internet M (300 Mbit/s), i.e. at three times the speed, 16s and not 12s should be specified.

The error with Internet L is blatant. In my case, the maximum specified with Booster is 350 Mbit/s, and an upload time of 0.24 s (!) is promised.

But that’s not true throughout Switzerland! When I search for 6234 Kulmerau there seems to be a maximum of 6.7MB/s.

@Stufleussaz61 but it already applies throughout Switzerland, you forget the “up to” at the end. The 6.7MB/s is in this range.

But Kulmerau is still a broadband desert.

So if my checker doesn’t say anything about booster, it’s not available either?

@troji

Yes, you have good 4G or 5G mobile reception in your area.

In any case, if everything is OK with the mobile reception and you have such a low internet speed, the booster should be available.

It is also important that the Internet box software for the 5G booster is up to date.
