Belgacom has introduced three new test projects for fiber-to-the-home in motion. In total, 400 houses in Brecht, Bredene and Brussels connected to the fiber network. When a commercial lwa le roll-out follows, Belgacom wants not to say.
Belgacom, which is already ten years with the roll-out of fiberglass, but until the straatkast. With the direct connection of houses kept the provider in 2009, testing in Sint-Truiden and La Louvière, but those were small-scale. Recently, the company three new test projects started in Bredene, Brussels and Brecht. In total 120 plots of land and 400 apartments, which are involved in the fiber-to-the-home projects.
“In anticipation of the commercial launch, enjoy the test customers all the benefits of a ‘gigabit capable’ fiber technology with a tripleplaypack with high internet speed of 200Mbit/s downstream and 50Mbit/s upstream, Belgacom TV, with four decoders and a phone line,” says Belgacom, in a statement Tweakers received.
Although Belgacom here for the first time on a commercial roll-out speaks, finds the provider that it is far too early to say if customers with a paid-ftth-offer may decline. “We are pleased with vdsl2 for the final section to the homes of clients,” says Jan Margot Tweakers. Belgacom used the test projects still as a testing ground, according to him. “In the projects of new districts. Those people will, of course, not back to the buyer, and at a given time must be paid, but it is still too early to say anything about a commercial offer,” says Margot.
