Telecommunication New Construction Semi-Detached House - What/When/How

Thank you for your help.

From the patch panel along the walls to the back into the outlet, installation cables are used, not patch cables. Does the electrician bring these himself or does one usually have to provide them oneself? The same applies to the network outlets.

You can arrange that with your electrician. I have found that the average field, forest, and meadow electrician gladly lays cables but has no clue about network outlets and patch panels. Conclusion: cables were laid, but I connected them myself. The advantage is that you can test immediately whether everything is okay and fix any errors right away.

Annoying, I hoped to get past the connecting. It's not so trivial with all the wires etc. like just plugging a patch cable into the socket. You should really know what you're doing here.

It's really not a big deal, trust me. The important thing is that the electrician leaves a sufficiently long end when pulling the cables so that you don't have to fiddle inside the flush-mounted box but can do the connection outside, and then simply insert the module into the box.

Apart from that, it's really simple, as long as you're not colorblind and don't suffer from Alzheimer's.

In a house I lived in earlier, the electrician did connect everything, but out of twelve connections, six were faulty, which I then had to correct. With my brother, it was even three out of four, although supposedly everything was checked.

Joining in here: I spoke with Telekom and Vodafone yesterday about our new single-family house build. Telekom says 16-20 weeks processing time for the application.

More important for me is the following: Telekom: "Oh, you only have 3 MBit with us" Vodafone: "I'll check quickly. Yes, you can get up to 1GBit realized there"

So the internet must go through cable. Now I’m just wondering if it still makes sense to have the telephone cable installed as well. Honestly, I can’t think of a reason why, so we could invest the 799€ in other things. The only scenario: Cable network permanently fails (provider goes bankrupt, or whatever…). But even then I’d rather rely on LTE/5G than on copper with 3MBit. Am I missing something?

Hmm well the costs for the cable connection possibly or are they not that high for you?
