Installing fiberglass: how does it work?
If there is fiber optic in your neighbourhood, then you want to know a lot about how it works. If you become a member, you will have received a letter to inform you. And first, before the start, you will come to your door for an explanation of the plans.
Important to know: the installation of fiberglass is free, so you do not have to pay for it. Our advice is therefore to always give approval before digging.
Installing a fiber optic connection at home is done in 4 steps:
- The fiber optic cable in your street: The fiber optic cable is first laid in the entire street. From this they remove a row of tiles from the sidewalk and dig a trench. The cable enters that trench. The work is not so drastic that the whole street has to be drawn. You always know when they will start working at your doorstep.
- Step 2: the cable to your house: Later, the fiber optic cable is pulled from the street to your house. The contractors do this with a special drill. This is a small tunnel under your garden door. They usually don’t have to mess up the garden.
- Step 3: the cable into your house: In step 3 the fiber optic cable is drilled in through the outer wall. You decide where exactly this happens. After this, the installation is placed with a specially designed fiber optic connection point. KPN first lays the cable up to the front door, and only when you are a customer pull the cable further to the meter cupboard.
- Step 4: Connected and Get Started: All homes are now connected to the street cabinet in the neighborhood with a fiber optic cable. Do you already have a subscription with a provider? Then you will receive the fiber optic modem with the installation package. If you can install it at the connection point of the fiber optic provider, you can enjoy lightning-fast internet!
