Fibre Optic Expansion Kickoff: Deutsche Telekom Launches Subsidized Rollout in Stockstadt
Deutsche Telekom AG is currently expanding its fiber optic network in Stockstadt, offering free home connections to over 600 households. The project, in partnership with construction firm Emide Tiefbau, aims to provide significantly higher speeds of up to 1,000 megabits per second.
How to Secure a Free Connection
To secure a free home connection, households and businesses generally need to follow these steps:
- Check Eligibility and Availability: Confirm that your address in Stockstadt falls within the newly covered area where Deutsche Telekom is offering free fiber optic home connections.
- Contact Deutsche Telekom: Reach out to Deutsche Telekom through their official customer service channels or local representatives to express interest in connecting to the fiber optic network.
- Place an Order/Sign Up: You may need to sign a contract or order a Telekom internet/fiber service plan. Often, the free home connection offer is tied to subscribing to a Telekom service package.
- Technical Survey and Scheduling: Telekom may schedule a technical survey or appointment to check your property for fiber installation feasibility and discuss any necessary preparations.
- Installation: The Telekom technicians will then perform the fiber optic installation from the street network point to your home premises at no additional charge.
- Activation and Setup: After installation, the fiber connection will be activated, and you may receive equipment like a fiber modem/router to start using the high-speed internet.
- Support and Service: Ongoing customer support will be available to assist with any technical or service issues.
It's important to note that offers and procedures can vary and may have deadlines, so it's advisable to contact Deutsche Telekom or check their official local communications promptly to ensure you meet any sign-up periods to qualify for the free connection.
Construction and Consent
The construction work for the new fiber optic network has already begun, with the process carried out in individual sections to keep inconvenience for residents as low as possible. Property owners' consent is required for the building to be connected to the new network.
Benefits of Fiber Optic
Fiber optic cables enable significantly higher transmission rates than copper cables, making them ideal for digital learning, working, streaming, and gaming, all at the same time. They also offer the most stable connection and are less prone to errors and more robust against external influences such as water.
The network expansion is expected to be completed by June 2026. Those who have not yet given their consent for the home connection of their property can still do so. To use the connection, a fiber optic tariff must be booked.
Residents of Stockstadt can register for a free home connection to the fiber optic network at www.telekom.de/fiber. The first customers will be connected in a few weeks.
By expanding its fiber optic network, Deutsche Telekom AG is investing in the digital future of Stockstadt, offering residents and businesses a more reliable and faster internet connection.
