Hello everyone,
Our builder has submitted the application for the house connection to the telecom company (no fiber optic). Cadastral extracts, location, and exact spot for the multi-utility connection have been provided. I would like to know exactly what the telecom does in this process. Does the technician always install the HUP (house connection point), or do they only lay the cable into the house?
This is what the order states:
Thanks and best regards

Oberhäslich2 Dec 2022 13:17Since the subject of the post fits well, I’m using it to ask a question.
I applied last week for the telecommunications house connection for next year. An internal main distribution frame (MDF) is to be installed. In the online application, I indicated that I would not provide a conduit trench. I also confirmed this in a phone call with an employee. He said that in this case, there would be no empty conduit installed and that the civil engineering work would be carried out without it. I agreed that this was okay. However, this morning I received a confirmation email stating under the conditions that I would be responsible for the cable duct. I called again immediately and told a different employee on the phone that I want a conduit trench dug by the telecom company. Several websites and forums say that 15 m (50 feet) are included in the flat rate. At first, she denied any knowledge of this, but after repeated inquiry, she agreed to make the change.
I have two questions. First, could it be that employees are trained to avoid having the telecom company carry out the civil engineering work whenever possible? Second, could I face any disadvantages if the civil engineering is done without an empty conduit? We currently have only copper wiring, and if fiber optic cable is to be installed later, wouldn’t that be impossible without a conduit? Or would they have to dig up again? I can imagine there are older houses without empty conduits as well.
Our electrical cable probably runs along the side of the property, as the overhead line arrives at a wooden pole there and then goes underground into the house at the second row. The telecom connection is located at the front of the street, so I wanted to be sure that in the worst case, I don’t end up having to pay for two separate cable ducts.

You can usually ask the civil contractors (they are not employees of the telecom company) to take a short cigarette break when the trench is finished. Then you can quickly place a conduit inside, preparing for the future. Sometimes they won’t do this, but I’ve heard that most of the time they allow it.
The telecom company is currently installing fiber optic cables underground for us; the subcontractors are digging directly up to the house, including drilling and connection box installation.
Until the end of the year, this is still free of charge, some kind of promotion funded by taxpayers.
After 12/31, it will cost around 1000 euros per connection.
Those who don’t arrange for the digging now…
