Malchin receives free fiber optic connection for 2000 households!

Malchin, Deutschland - In Malchin it says from now on: the future will be tangible! After the official groundbreaking on Tuesday on the market square, the fiber optic expansion for almost 2000 households started in the city. Representatives of Telekom, Glasfaserplus GmbH and regional partners have teamed up to create a sustainable network. The joint venture, which emerged from Deutsche Telekom and IFM Investors, dares to jump into the digital age. Nordkurier reports that the glass fiber plus network is open to all telecommunications. Residents!

The free house connection is particularly noteworthy for everyone who chooses a fiber optic tariff in the expansion phase. A very nice incentive to turn to the new technology. For customers who want to get a taste after completing the work, regular costs for the house connection, which will be 799.95 euros at Telekom.

technical details and challenges

As is often the case with new projects, the path was not entirely easy. Telekom is currently moving fiber optic lines to existing empty pipes. However, the availability and the supplied road areas have often been unclear in recent months. For example, a resident pointed out that despite the hybrid connection, the promised speed of 16 MB is not available. The real measurements even showed only about 4 MB, which was a high frustrating experience for those affected, as it became clear in a request to Telekom. So far, information about when the promised speed is available. Telekom helps and hopes for these concerns and hopes Clarification.

The fiber optic expansion in Germany is generally very important, especially for rural regions. Today, the goal is to be equipped with gigabit networks on a fiber optic basis. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture emphasizes that this expansion is crucial for the attractiveness and future viability of rural areas.

future prospects

With the current fiber optic rate of only 22.8 % of households that are actually connected, it can be seen how much work is still ahead of us. Further steps will be necessary to address the challenges of expanding in rural areas. High investment costs and longer expansion times due to larger distances are just a few of the hurdles that need to be mastered.

The project in Malchin can be seen as a small but important step in the right direction. Rural regions in particular can benefit from such initiatives and flower digitally. It remains exciting how the situation will develop in the coming months and what progress the Telekom and its partners will achieve.
