ᐅ Is a TAE socket still required nowadays?

If you want FTTH. But unfortunately many still have to struggle with xDSL for now. Even with fiber optic, you no longer need a "bell wire" in the hallway


Edit: You should only pay attention to the LAN cable and use at least CAT7.

Smirnoff, you presented your opinion as if it were universal—but it is not. Just a tip: this forum mainly focuses on new house construction. And in many new development areas, fiber optic is indeed available. So your statement is wrong twice over.
Only a fiber optic cable comes out of the utility room wall, seriously!

That was exactly my point, and now you act as if you’ve always known that. What a weird nerd!

There are still plenty of new development areas without FTTH. Also, not everyone builds in a new development area.

Yes, for example, I can’t get fiber optic internet and DSL maxes out at 6 Mbit. According to the telecom provider’s coverage map, no expansion is planned. Now I have to read that cable internet is unreliable. I feel disappointed.

I’m sad.

Same situation here; new development area, no fiber optic, DSL maxes out at 6 Mbps, effectively only 3.7 Mbps. Now that the house connection is installed, even that isn’t available anymore. The area was slated for "private sector expansion" in 2016. A third-party provider is working with vectoring technology but hasn’t included all cable branches in their plans, and the effort apparently isn’t worthwhile for a few newly built houses.

There is LTE available via wireless with speeds up to 21.6 Mbps on good days. Vodafone Gigacube could be a backup option. However, anyone relying on a public IP address (for example, needed for online gaming) won’t be happy here either.

Does anyone have experience with the Congstar Homespot...? Otherwise, I’m switching to carrier pigeons and signal fires.

Hi, could you explain that? It's the first time I've heard about this and it could be relevant. What is the issue with the Gigacube, or is it related to LTE?
