Bandwidth not yet exhausted
Swisscom has already connected over 90 percent of the population with fiber-optic internet all the way to their neighborhoods. Numéro 10 is running a campaign that shows how and where the future has already begun for users.
Fiber optic connections have been continuously expanded since 2008. Over 90 percent of the population is already connected to the neighborhoods (Fiber to the Curb). Swisscom already covers several areas in over 40 cities and municipalities with fiber optic connections to homes and businesses (Fiber to the Home), including: Berne, Zurich, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne, St. Gallen, Bellinzona as well as Meilen, Pfyn and Gland. Swisscom has currently connected more than 420,000 homes with fiber optics. By the end of 2015, this figure will be over one million.
This fiber optic hybrid technology enables bandwidths of up to 100 Mbit/s. In the next three to four years, even up to 400 Mbit/s. This will not only make ultra-fast Internet with up to 100,000 kbit/s possible for customers. Because the bandwidth is far from exhausted and does not have to be shared with other users with a Swisscom connection, the new technology opens up almost unlimited possibilities. Several TV programs in HD quality can be watched simultaneously on different TV sets in the same household. Other programs can be recorded at the same time and you can still surf the net in parallel at ultra-fast speeds. Swisscom offers all these advantages with its Vivo Casa 2 to 5 packages. Numéro 10 by Gilles Aeby has been entrusted with the task of communicating this news precisely in the "affected" neighborhoods following an agency evaluation. The posters are accompanied by banners directing people to a page where they can check their connection.
