From now on until around mid -July there will be comprehensive closures in Piererstrasse and the Baumschulenweg. The measures affect vehicle traffic and are part of a larger project that is about the expansion of the fiber optic networks.

The German fiber optics has set itself the goal of supplying households with fiber optic connections. However, this is only put into action if at least 33 percent of households in the municipality conclude a contract. If the contract comes concluded, the participants enjoy some advantages: the FTTH connection is relocated free of charge, and the construction costs are omitted. In addition, you can easily change the provider without duplication or interruptions in internet access. The step to a faster and more stable internet connection is made much easier, since it is also possible to easily exit old contracts Deutsche-glasfaser.de.

However, the question arises as to why so much value is placed on fiber optic expansion. Germany has caught up properly lately, but remains behind the EU average. One currently speaks of a fiber optic expansion rate of around 40 to 43 percent of households, while the connection rate amounts to 23 to 32 percent. In an international comparison, Germany ranks in the last place among the EU countries in the FTTH Council Ranking 2024, which urgently signals a need for action Glasfaserint.info.

The challenges of expansion

Although the expansion progresses, there are considerable challenges. High costs and the competition through powerful cable networks and 5G offer some hurdles that need to be overcome. In cities such as Hanover, the costs for the expansion are even high double -digit million amounts. In order for the fiber optic expansion to be economically sensible, the demand must be large enough, which is why pre -contracts are currently being collected. This focus on fiber optic expansion is not only important for households, but also plays a crucial role in Germany's competitiveness at an international level.

It becomes the more exciting how the situation in Altenburg and the surrounding communities will develop. The structural measures can temporarily mess up the everyday life of the residents, but the view of a better, future -proof Internet is definitely worth patience. Let's stay optimistic and see how the project progresses and whether the necessary demand actually comes about.
