According to this tool https://www.swisscom.ch/de/about/net…lasfaser.html/
Clicking on each gemeinde shows a very strange pattern of rollout.
e.g.
Stadt Zurich 10Gbit/s
Kilchberg 200 Mbit/s
Rueschlikon 200
Thalwil 200
Oberriden 200
horgen 200
Wadenswil 200
Richterswil 200
Wollerau 10G
Freienbahc 10G
Rapperswil 200
Hombrechtikon 200
Stafa 200
Mannedorf 10G from 2025
Uetikon 200
Meilen 10G
Herrliberg 10G
Erlenbach 10G
Kusnacht 10G
Zollikon 200
Is it just where the swisscom execs live get the higher speeds or what?!
I’d have assumed that they’d have rolled it out from zurich to the more densely populated areas and/or those where it’s physically next to existing new infra.
There also doesn’t seem to be any advice as to when any of this will ever change.
Is there hope for those of us who live in these 200MB backwaters?
Those published numbers are the max. possible but it depends on the slowest chain in the link- which maybe to your house is a lot slower, so it is not just dependent on the trunk line. It would still be no surprise if those execs had prioritised where they live.
The entire network has stalled due to Swisscom being taken to court, and Swisscom losing all appeals as well:
https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/new…1/29-weko.html
This is a good decision because Swisscom’s bullshit “FTTH” (it was not, it was Fibre to the Neighbourhood in a way) prevented alternative providers (like init7) from using the connection and selling a better service at a lower price.
Swisscom uses this ruling in their latest financial results to talk about how 400K homes were blocked (that’s a lot of homes) due to their anti-competitive practices:
https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/new…t-q3-2022.html
"Due to the ongoing proceedings of the Competition Commission, Swisscom cannot market nearly 400,000 fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) connections built using point-to-multipoint architecture (P2MP).
The annual budget for fibre-optic investments of CHF 500 million to CHF 600 million remains unchanged, but the expansion is proceeding somewhat more slowly than originally planned. Specifically, this means that it will only be possible to connect 50%-55% of connections with FTTH by 2025. But Swisscom will continue to invest in FTTH expansion after 2025 and will increase FTTH coverage to 70%-80% by 2030."
I think they are also waiting sometimes one lighting new connections, as our building got connected in August, and I thought we’d have fibre available “soon”, but Init7 told me that even Swisscom cannot offer the service until FAC / COMCO(WEKO) finished all the proceedings.
There are articles where they estimated October 2023, but that doesn’t seem to be the case yet.
I would be happy for 200 Here - just at the border of stadt Zürich - I got 40/20
still perfectly enough to stream 4k and do HO video calls without disturbance. What else do you need it for?
It’s all a bit of a mystery to me. I’m out in the sticks with UPC/Sunrise and have 1Gb / 100Mb on copper.
This gives about 600Mbps on wireless and 900 on Ethernet...
