Telekom APL external vs internal

Hello future homeowners,

since the house construction will begin soon, I asked Telekom about the telephone connection. On the phone, only the installation inside the house was advertised. The APL on the outside wall was only mentioned upon inquiry, with the statement that Telekom would then install it somewhere on the wall. She didn’t know more about it and said I could find information on the website. However, after a long search, I was unable to find anything.

In the offer form, the APL inside costs a flat rate of 800 euros. The lady on the phone said the costs include "everything." Question to successful home builders: Should one expect additional costs here, e.g., for conduit or similar?

Personally, the exterior installation of the APL wouldn’t bother me either; is this really free of charge, or should I expect installation costs? Has anyone regretted the exterior installation?

Telekom offers a 400 euro credit on an internet contract; does anyone have experience with how the offers are? That is, are they similar to those on their website (1st year 20,- instead of 40,-, etc.), or does the builder service only provide worse tariffs?

Thank you!

Hi,
the 800 € also include the installation on public land, but you have to dig the trench on private property yourself.
I seriously considered just using an APL and then installing it myself inside the house (Yes, I know, it's not allowed, but I don't care....). In the end, I just paid the 599 € (that's how much was paid until last year) and that was it.
According to the information I received last year, the rates are the same as you can find on the homepage.

Best regards,

Andreas

Since I am thrifty, I originally wanted it outside, but then changed it to inside. We are in a fiber to Home area. According to a technician I know, it only makes sense inside. The contract is identical to the one everyone gets. Only with fiber to Home you must take the 50 thousand DSL. Other providers are not possible anyway. According to Vodafone, for example, they can't supply us in such an area because Telekom has an exclusive right there for ten years. Unless we take cable TV and no telephone connection. But then we are completely at Vodafone's mercy. That’s not better either. The problem is, no matter where you ask, they are terribly slow at Telekom, almost no one had a telephone when they moved in.

The 10 years are not correct. Currently, you are at the mercy of Telekom. This currently only applies to copper lines, the so-called investment protection. Nothing has been regulated for fiber optics yet.

Outdoor ApLs are not inherently bad, but relocating them indoors later probably costs just as much as installing them indoors right away. And: nothing is connected at the ApL yet; it just continues to the "first TAE". That will presumably be wanted indoors – do you want to run the cable nailed to the wall along the way there?

Does the house have a multi-utility entry point, or would you have to dig separately through the front garden for that?

Thank you for the answers. Yes, we have a multi-division introduction. I will also search the suggested forums.
I will probably just have the ApL placed internally and book the connection with Telekom for the first 2 years. If it then stays at 800,-, okay.
