Criticism of the fiber optic expansion in Aalen: TNG is exposed to allegations!

Aalen, Deutschland - The fiber optic expansion in Aalen is progressing with big steps. In Hofherrnweiler, the project is almost complete, and TNG Stadtnetz GmbH invests around 57 million euros in the expansion of the fiber optic frastructure, which will include over 240 kilometers. Construction work is currently taking place in Hüttfeld and Unterrombach-Hofherrnweiler, while the work in Dewangen is to begin in May, followed by Unterkochen and Ebnat. These comprehensive measures are intended to significantly improve the digital offer in the region, whereby the city of Aalen coordinates route planning and construction designs.

Despite these progress, there are also critical voices. Bernd Bauditz from Aalen comments dissatisfied about the communication of the TNG and in particular the statements of a sales representative to switch off the copper network. This allegation is rejected by TNG. Bauditz, which concluded a contract with TNG in December 2024, had declared the revocation inadmissible, which led to a misunderstanding and promise of TNG to organize internal training for employees

Additional information and customer service

TNG has tried to cover the need for information from the citizens regarding fiber optic expansion. The city of Aalen provides further information on its website, while the number of symptoms about noise and pollution during construction work remains low compared to the project scope. Citizens nevertheless question the meaning of the project, which underlines the desire for clarifying information.

In the course of the expansion, TNG also plans to move to a new location in Aalen. From April 2025, the company will be located at Robert-Bosch-Strasse 91 after it worked for 25 years at the previous locations in Ulmer Strasse and Kochertalstrasse. This laying enables the merging of all departments under one roof and is intended to improve the logistics by an integrated warehouse for materials of the fiber optic expansion.

glass fiber as the key to rural regions

The expansion of fiber optics is particularly important for rural areas, since fast internet often lacks here. The digital gap between city and the country is otherwise threatening to grow. Fast internet not only supports the home office and digital learning offers, but also improves the quality of life and reduces economic disadvantages in rural regions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for stable internet connections has increased, and fiber optic expansion not only creates new jobs, but also promotes local economic growth.

In order to cope with the challenges of fiber optic expansion, close cooperation between all stakeholders, including politics, is necessary. Innovative approaches and funding programs can help to provide the necessary resources and to make the expansion sustainable. TNG is aware of the importance and faces the task of not only mastering technical but also communicative challenges in order to gain the trust of the citizens.
