New construction - Telephone/Internet connection

Telekom had secured the monopoly for the first years with us. ...

Thank you very much for the feedback! I will probably have both installed then.

Having is better than needing. I would do both. How fast should the internet be via Telekom? With Deutsche Glasfaser keep in mind that you don’t get a public IPv4.

With Telekom only 16 Mbit/s.

Only 16 Mbit/s at Telekom.

And that will probably remain that way. The fiber optic expansion always goes to just one provider - and where that is not Telekom (= Telekom then stays on the copper network there), it only invests the bare minimum accordingly. So I would probably save myself the connection costs. So on my part, in this case, "pro cancellation".

I would definitely have both placed as well

Cancel Telekom! With 16Mbit you are officially underserved nowadays. In a few years, you'll be a digital social case. Sure... when Telekom and Deutsche Glasfaser have each secured the monopoly on the line in the coming years, you can always switch back and forth between the two every 2 years and save money. But you will surely start with fiber optic. And then you will never go back from the 400 connection to a 16 one after 2 years. And you first have to save the 700 euros investment costs. If Deutsche Glasfaser goes bankrupt, there will certainly be a few applicants who will gladly take over the network. I wonder if all those who would definitely have a dual-track installation also have a second option besides the Telekom connection.

Exactly. Why does a private person need two telephone lines?
