We are behind but not all that far. 90% fibre adoption is estimated to be reached in 2025. A fibre company is presently digging in my village and they are expected to reach my street in October. With a bit of luck the connection will be operational before Alla helgons dag.

Until then I have a robust internet connection via cable. Had it for 15 years or so. Before that: ADSL over twisted pair.

The good old twisted pair originally designed for POTS is being fased out. In new building areas twisted pair is no longer offered, the choice is between cable and fibre. In other places where fibre is installed the twisted pair is decommissioned and the copper is salvaged for reuse wherever practical.


Cheers, Michiel
