Totally agree zorglub

And it’s not just Swisscom that holds the market, in the world of telenetworks it’s worse, because Swisscom at least “rents” its network to competitors like Sunrise…, while the cable operators live in a world 100% airtight.

Personally, I do not have a connection to the Swisscom network (physico-technical problem = universal service nothing more), so I am left with the telenetwork, it is not dramatic in itself, although for an aficionado (not my case) sport is problematic without Téléclub!

Salt Fiber Internet and TV only work if you have fiber (and the right one) in your living room, otherwise it’s ruined. Salt clearly doesn’t want to complicate life like other operators, it’s fiber or nothing.

So I don’t see what “little” offensive is hidden there…?

More concretely, if Swisscom announces speeds between 80 mbit/s and 1 gbit/s it is for the cases of new buildings only connected to FTTH if there are more than 40 homes at a time.

Otherwise it will be max 500, the giga on copper pair is the XG-Fast standard, not yet industrialized or adapted, from the laboratory…

What to do?

This is sometimes the problem with rural regions and isolated hamlets, Swisscom is not obliged to provide more than the universal service, and 2.5 Mbps is unfortunately in line with the universal service for you, too bad!

Did you put pressure on the municipality?

You have to “harass” the troubleshooting service, because a low flow rate should not rhyme with incessant disconnections.

Ask to have the line checked, especially if it is aerial, it should not come into contact with branches or other objects, this disrupts the signal.

The moral of this is that before building or going to live in certain places and if you also want a high-speed internet connection, you must find out if, for example, the telenetwork is available in the case where Swisscom is not up to par.

The magnificent map of Switzerland, mentioning “State August 2016” makes me gently smile, my municipality is in dark blue, so up to 500 Mbits, hum, purely commercial, because no FTTH and g.fast is not still deployed, the max is 100 MBits with vectorized VDSL.

So you have to take Swisscom’s announcements with a grain of salt!

Hello YariB,

I just sent you a private message for location details.

Good regards.

A house is connected to the Swisscom network with an overhead line (60 meters) which was used by the tenant of a furnished studio, the other occupants use the cable network.

This tenant no longer uses this line, because it is very unstable, there is in fact a large tree which over the years has almost “encompassed” the wires, so as this person just needed the Internet, she uses a 4G data plan for the Internet, the connection via this landline having been terminated.

Swisscom doesn’t really have a solution, as the tree is on another property, cutting it down is out of the question, and what’s more, it’s a blue fir, and therefore expensive. Underground Swisscom does not have the essential and necessary infrastructure.

How is it that Swisscom does not have what is necessary under the roads to connect houses underground and thus avoid problems? The construction of the district took place at the end of the 70s and the house in question dates from 2012, the information systems are 100% underground, only Swisscom has installed overhead in this district.

This tenant’s friend, a Swisscom employee, implied to me that with the cutting-edge technologies currently used, such as vectorized VDSL and g.fast currently being deployed, that this will be very difficult with airlines!

Given that the house has a cable network offering all the services, it “fortunately” is possible to do without Swisscom, but the latter does not respect its duty to ensure universal service.

This is happening in a small town of 7,500 inhabitants in a residential area, I’m not talking about isolated houses in a small hamlet far from everything.

Can a validly informed speaker explain Swisscom’s position on this subject?

But what arrogance, my word! This is unprecedented!

If you already have the lines for FTTH at home and a lot of experience…, what are you waiting for to get connected?

However, I see that you are not used to discussions in forums, because if it doesn’t go your way, you lose your temper! It’s ineffective, the proof, apart from me, no one…

Devil, what do you have against the cable, you shouldn’t say “Fontaine I would never drink your water”!

Hello Navy become 1218GE!

As you very well mentioned, it is because of “unprofitability” that SIGs no longer install fiber everywhere! This seems quite clear as a motive!

SIGs are currently losing money with fiber, losses that the people of Geneva will have to… pay for one day!

You must ask your municipal authorities to take the necessary steps to collaborate with Swisscom to lay fibers.

The commune of Yverdon does it, as do the SIs of the city of Lausanne, or closer to you the SIs of the Gland region or the canton of Fribourg.

Swisscom no longer installs FTTH fiber in solo living rooms in French-speaking Switzerland; it is the collaborative mode with X or Y which seems to have taken over.

Alas, your current speed is within the norm for Swisscom, you are eligible for Swisscom TV in HD, for them nothing to review!

And be aware that around 20% of the lines in this country are below 5 MBits!

When it comes to justice, I don’t really see the connection! Sorry!

So try to look at the telenetwork side, are you sure it’s not available?

“Due to unprofitability” it’s all there!

Make a request to your municipality to pay, otherwise nothing will happen.

Is it strange that in Geneva at Grand-Saconnex there is no Naxoo/UPC?

Alas, with 18 Mbit/s you are eligible for HD TV at Swisscom, which is the basic standard, so Swisscom will do nothing!

Imagine that there are still thousands of connections not even eligible for Swisscom TV in SD, just ADSL at 1 Mbit/s or less!

The copper network is old in Switzerland, it was ultra efficient in the 70s, currently this is no longer the case.
