ᐅ Costs for Cable Connection / Cable Service Provider

Hello forum,

I registered here because we plan to build a prefabricated house in the near future. Beforehand, I want to clarify as much as possible, especially regarding the technical aspects.

The telecom connection is clear, a flat fee of €384 (approx. $410), regardless of whether it is used or not.

I also requested an offer from Kabel Deutschland for setting up a handover point. The work should include as much self-performed labor as possible. Now I have received an offer for €199 (approx. $215). The service includes laying the cable through a duct that I prepare on the property to the house and connecting the handover point.

What I wonder is: how does the cable get to my building site if it’s not already there, and who pays for that? I assume Kabel Deutschland does, right? Because in the letter it says:
“The house connection includes the costs for civil engineering and installation work including materials and the excavation permit from the municipal authority responsible for road maintenance. ...”

So, I think this price is inclusive, right?

I already called the hotline once, but I don’t always trust them and prefer to get more reliable information.

Also, I was told on the phone that I should sign now because next year the costs will increase by a factor of 5! I find that hard to believe.

And the question I still have is: does the price only apply if I actually use the connection?

Thanks to all of you!

Does no one here have any experience?

Then just ask Kabel Deutschland! With Unitymedia, the price at least depends on whether you commit to a contract with the provider. Price difference about EUR 200.
