Last-Mile Connectivity
The official statement mentioned that the network of Telenet and Fluvius already comprises 90 percent fibre optic. Only the connection from the street cupboard to the houses and apartments still mainly consists of coax, which can support high speeds, currently at 1 Gbps. However, with the last-mile fibre optic connectivity, the speed will eventually reach 10 Gbps.
In June, as reported by TelecomTalk, Telenet and Fluvius announced the official name of their joint venture as Wyre. You can find more information about it in the linked story above.
