Trouble in Suhl: fiber optic expansion tears up new roads!

Suhl, Deutschland - In Suhl, the fiber optic expansion currently causes a good conversation. Many citizens are dissatisfied with the road and sidewalk work that have been carried out in the past few weeks. After all, these streets were only re -paved with state funds a few years ago, and now the telecommunications companies like German fiber, OXG and Telekom open them again. "That is hard to understand," says a resident. The coordination of the civil engineering work by the city is also questioned, because many citizens feel left in the dark.

But why is the all the canceling? Telekom has set itself the goal of promoting fiber optic expansion in order to supply more households with fast internet. According to Telekom, there are many factors that influence fiber optic availability. This includes the expansion plans of the providers as well as the regional infrastructure and building law requirements. It is worth completing a fiber optic tariff even if nothing happens in your own region. Telekom continues to register for a tariff in order to be informed about developments at an early stage. The unique advantages of the fiber optic tariffs that are switched to high-speed internet are particularly attractive.

The way to fast internet

At the political level, the federal government also has a firm view of fiber optic expansion. This is considered crucial for the modernization of Germany as a business location. In view of the challenges that Corona pandemic brought with it, the flood disaster 2021 and the Ukraine conflict, the need for a nationwide fiber optic connection up to every building became clear. The network expansion is funded by a new regulation in the Telecommunications Act, which is limited until December 31, 2030.

Glass fiber connections are available for almost every third household, and it is still working to improve the digital infrastructure.

It is important not only to expand the digital infrastructure, but also to take into account the needs of the residents.
