Hello everyone,
We are currently building a single-family house. In two weeks, all utility connections will be installed.
My question is about the internet connection, which I applied for through Telekom.
Now I have learned that another company is laying fiber optic cables in our street (Deutsche Glasfaser).
Does it make sense to cancel the Telekom order? That would only be a standard copper cable, or is it still needed?
Telekom charges 700€, while Deutsche Glasfaser does not charge any connection fees.
Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you for the feedback!
I will probably have both installed then.
With Telekom, only 16 Mbit/s.

How fast should the internet be with Telekom? Keep in mind with Deutsche Glasfaser that you don’t get a public IPv4 address.

Only 16 Mbit/s with the telecom provider. And that will probably stay that way. The fiber optic expansion is usually granted to only one company—and if it’s not the telecom provider (meaning they then remain on the copper network there), they will invest only the bare minimum. I would likely skip the connection costs in that case. So, from my side, this is a "pro cancellation."

Cancel Telekom! With 16 Mbps, you’re officially underserved nowadays. In a few years, you’ll practically become a digital underdog.
Sure… if Telekom and Deutsche Glasfaser each secure a monopoly on the line in the coming years, you can always switch back and forth between the two every two years and save some money. But you’ll probably start with fiber optic. And after that, you’ll never downgrade from a 400 Mbps connection back to 16 Mbps.
Plus, you still have to make up for the 700 euros investment cost first.
If Deutsche Glasfaser goes bankrupt, there will definitely be some contenders eager to take over the network.
I wonder if everyone who insists on installing two parallel lines actually has a second option besides the Telekom connection.
