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!

Technically, vectoring isn’t really necessary in that sense.
But providers have accustomed customers to asymmetrical speeds and profit from it.

That may be true, but again: very few people actually benefit from symmetrical bandwidth. At least I don’t, and judging by your connection, neither do you.
And as far as I understand, vectoring is necessary enough that the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has approved the currently common setup—complete distribution points being managed by ONE provider. Without a technical necessity, this probably wouldn’t have been allowed so easily.

I should have mentioned that when I speak, I am always referring to DSL or true fiber optic connections. The plans offered by cable providers are simply worthless to me personally. 400 Mbps download with only 40 Mbps upload — I already have that with my modest 100 Mbps DSL connection.
And yes, of course, download speed is usually more important. Anyone who has ever gamed knows that. But anyone who has created a CEWE photo book, occasionally shares files online, or backs up data on the internet also appreciates a high upload speed.
And before anyone assumes I never store anything online: you can also host your own Nextcloud with a reliable hosting provider. It doesn’t cost any more than a OneDrive, iCloud, or Dropbox subscription.
