ᐅ Have your home connected directly by the local internet provider?

We are now going to order the utility connections for our house. Netze-BW requires a multi-utility connection at our location.

Telecom costs a flat rate of €800 (about $870) – we are currently with them. However, I also wanted to have Unitymedia installed "just in case." At the moment, they charge €1600 (about $1740), without any discounts for signing a new contract or similar. The representative from the homeowners’ department suggested that we should have a conduit installed in case the price becomes more reasonable in the future.

Is this conduit automatically included when installing a multi-utility connection, or do I need to order it separately from the general contractor or civil engineer?

If you install glass fiber, there’s really no reason not to remove the outdated wiring beforehand.

That’s why I also recommend switching to UM right away and canceling Telekom. The technology is simply outdated.

Both systems run over old copper or coaxial cables. However, with Telekom, I get 100 out of a possible 120 Mbit delivered, along with a top receiver for MagentaTV and no connection interruptions.

With KabelBW, I was paying for 250 Mbit but only received 190 Mbit, which were frequently interrupted, and the Horizon receiver was terrible.

Therefore, I will definitely have Telekom installed and hold off on UM for now.
