Deutsche Telekom - Glasferausbau

I reset my PPPoE every night on purpose, get a fresh IP. Why are people so upset by Zwangstrennung? DynDNS is up again in seconds, no problem.

RE: Netzbremse. That explains that, I mostly do my webbrowsing from outside Telekom. Don't ask for details :-D

Some of us appreciate uninterrupted connectivity.

Latest developments:

Adoption rate appears to be very, very lousy, so DT decided to have a propaganda stand in some public place arround here to get more subscribers. In the flyer they promise 20m of free (as in unpaid) fiber installation inside the building.

What's next?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

You need to prepare an empty tube ("Leerrohr") where you want them to run the fibre. With that in place they were in our case quite flexible concerning the length. 😉 Main thing they want to avoid is extra work, a couple of meters of fibre doesn't cost much.

Let me quote myself:

If you want it elsewhere in the house, you can prepare a conduit yourself and they will use it to run up to 20 meters of fiber inside the house (also for free).

You can also find all of this information on their website, it's pretty well documented.

Seriously? I have to lay down the Leerrohre? And drill the holes in the wall in the end?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Yes. It's either they mount the outlet right where the fibre enters the building or you provide the space where they can lay it. Up to 20m officially with some leeway if it does not require extra effort.

Next you hope you're the only one subscribing, it's a shared medium. 😉

..as it's with my VDSL from Telekom in the same building right now anyways. I need the bandwidth mostly at daytime, when it get's croweded in there I'm gone.

I would need a least 2 holes in the 25cm massive ferroconcrete ceiling plate (1970's bunker...), as the way across the attic is shortest and no open conduit throughout the building. No fun!

Does the "Hausanschluss" need an electric wall outlet as well? Or is it passive and only the ONT has a plug?

Then keep the ONT in the basement and stick to the Gigabit over copper plan.

[chemlud]

Same same, doesn't matter if I route fiber or RJ45 throughout the house/attic. Except when using "your" modems for old telephone copper shoe laces, with approx. 250-300 € investment.

***sigh***

Will have to think through, what is the most stable, sustainable way to go... But that'S why we are here, to find the options and there pros and cons.

[chemlud]

2 questions open at that time:

- Does the "Hausanschluss" need an electric wall outlet as well? Or is it passive and only the ONT has a plug?

- What is the smalest radius you can bend the fiber to in a corner? 1-2 cm? 5 cm?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

The ONT comes with a wall wart (Steckernetzteil).

For the radius look here: https://telekomhilft.telekom.de/conversations/festnetz-internet/glasfaser-selbst-verlegen-wiewomit-verlegt-man-um-ecken/67a61b7c0b033707551d5dcd

[chemlud]

Hm, but if I place fiber cable throughout the house, then the ONT is in my office. The connection from "Hausanschluss" to fiber inside the house is passive, I guess?

Minimal radius for fiber: According to your link: It depends! (WOW!) So only Telekom technician (or underpaid Romanian subcontractor?) knows, which fiber is currently at hand at the time of cabeling. Bit of a black box...

[Patrick M. Hausen]

The connection from "Hausanschluss" to fiber inside the house is passive, I guess?

Yes.

Radius for the in house single fibre (they use just one strand with different wavelengths for send and receive) according to that help platform discussion no larger than 5 cm, so a 15x15 mmm on wall conduit would work.
