Yes, we will do it that way and try it with the IB3 for Fr. 99.-. If the performance is inadequate, we will fight with our 8 neighbors, who also have an overhead line, for a quick implementation of the FTTH. Or I sell it for Fr. 199.- on Tutti 😂

The line in the house (actually there are 2 cables: Anschluss private and Anschluss commercial, which is idle) has been checked several times, i.e. after every reported interruption. Apparently they have to do it that way, even if they are sure they are okay and they always have been okay. The problem was always the overhead line or the connections in the external distributor. We also think that the current interruptions do not affect the overhead line or only indirectly. It’s probably actually the poor performance of the IB. That’s why I’m focusing on the IB3.

I think it doesn’t look bad and maybe even in my lifetime there will be “FTTH” instead of “FTTC” (abbreviations whose meaning I just found out 😂 👍)

Wow, thank you very much for these comments.
When I had the first network for the use of videotex installed in my company in 1988, there was still a modem purring next to every PC with a then-amazing 50MB hard drive 🤣. But I always had everything installed. Now that I’m retired, I’m already overwhelmed when it comes to this matter. For example, I had to find out about the term “gFast”. I didn’t know that at all. That’s brilliant, because I have VDSL2 with over 100 Mbit/s despite the vulnerable overhead line. With gFast I could finally use my blueTV S better.

Is the Internet-Box 3 necessary for us or is the old standard Internet box sufficient? I ask this because I can’t find any comparative data, reviews or tests anywhere. We have copper with an overhead line from a distributor that has often gone on strike (after lightning or storms, loose contact). We have a standard Internet box in the house. The Internet-Box 3 has been offered to us at a promotional price for some time now. But exactly with or since this offer we have the “feeling” that the performance of the box is in the basement - literally, because where we used to be able to use WiFi all day long in the basement without any problems, now it always fails. I wanted to find out more and ask, can Swisscom just tweak the performance like that or is it perhaps a coincidence? Would you recommend the Internet-Box 3 to us either way? Is it more powerful (range) than the standard Internet box? Or is copper not worth buying anyway?

I don’t want to be didactic now and I’ll say in all friendliness that the saying goes: “As you call into the forest, it rings out!” But the origin of the saying is not clear because it refers to an echo that cannot come from the forest. But I understand what you want to say. Just doesn’t solve the problems with my subscription and doesn’t answer any of my questions that I asked in a decent, help-seeking tone.

You hug @millernet who writes “If you live on the subsistence level, you are well advised not to use Swisscom products…… ”. I assume that you share his opinion and that confirms me 100%. In this forum I have now asked a few questions or made a few observations, but received no answers or then received didactic, arrogant answers. @millernet would write “If you don’t like it, you would be well advised not to use this forum?” I’ll do it from tomorrow…

Sorry #samsi, but the only ones who are so ugly here are you, the arrogant ones! We ask questions, are perhaps overwhelmed, perhaps indignant, perhaps vent - but that’s it. But you know everything better and think you know that we who question a few francs or the jungle of tariffs are actually social cases and should better run away. We certainly don’t encourage each other to hate each other.

I just found out about this 2 days ago. It may be that I was told this before. But that’s where my criticism begins. For some time now it has been possible to communicate anywhere: live chat, email, telephone, community, etc. We also receive all sorts of things in return (or not) on the same channels: help, advertising, fake news, spam, junk, etc. Even “my Compi” doesn’t work anymore. This means that more and more relevant messages end up in my spam folder. I feel more and more fooled and I feel like I’m moving in a labyrinth. I have a lot of things that I need, even if I never wanted them or never wanted to need them.

We have had Swisscom since it was introduced, copper and blue Internet S, blue TV S (5.-), blue telephony M and pay 84.90/month. After I received the message that blue TV S would no longer be available, but it would still be available for just 9.90 more, I wanted to take a closer look at my subscription. I have to be honest, I couldn’t find out what I was paying for and how much, but there was a huge jumble of various promotions and offers that would all be cheaper if I saw it correctly, could or wanted to use it. It just leaves me perplexed. I swallow it one last time.

I was an avid user of this option until I was asked on social media, very hesitantly and somewhat bashfully, why we had not wanted to be disturbed for a long time. In fact, at my wife’s store, we had run out of landline orders. I have no idea why, but it wasn’t until I unblocked all the blocked call numbers that my landline worked again.
