Yesterday, the Federal Network Agency presented its 2018/2019 annual report on broadband measurement. Overall, the results are at a similar level to the previous year. They show that it is right to rely on pure fiber optics, because: A true fiber optic connection (FTTB/H) is not only faster, but also achieves the promised bandwidths more reliably and stably than other connection technologies. Especially in the current situation, it is important that the Internet connection is stable. The more than 200 network operators organized in BREKO can reliably provide the fixed network and fiber optic infrastructure despite a significant increase in capacity utilization and thus make an important contribution.
BREKO Managing Director Dr. Stephan Albers explains: “The fixed network is the guarantee for high-performance and reliable Internet access. Especially in this difficult situation caused by the coronavirus, it is important that customers can rely on their connectivity. This is also what the more than 200 network operators organized in BREKO stand for. It is clear how important and irreplaceable the fixed network is. Due to the current situation, we are also seeing an increasing trend towards demand for higher bandwidths, which can only be achieved with real fiber optic connections – the fixed network is booming.”
