10 Gbit/s fiber optic (CHF 39.–/month) including line installation
Hello everyone, I would like to book the 10 Gbit/s fiber optic internet subscription (CHF 39.–/month) from Galaxus. At my place (Reinach BL), fiber optic is available up to the building. However, I only have a telephone socket (copper) in my apartment; there is no fiber optic socket. I work with an iMac Pro (Intel) that has a 10 Gbit/s Ethernet port, and I use LAN cables exclusively. Wi-Fi is secondary for me. My questions: Can I book the Galaxus 10 Gbit/s plan if there is only a telephone socket in the apartment, or is fiber to the home (FTTH) mandatory? Who is responsible for running the fiber from the building to the apartment (Swisscom, owner, property management), and what does it cost? Does Galaxus cover any of this, or just the connection? If no modifications are made: What speed is realistic over the existing telephone line? If the fiber is installed in the apartment: Can I connect the iMac Pro directly to the Galaxus router (Zyxel) and use the 10 Gbit/s via LAN? What cable do I need for this (Cat6a or better)? Thanks for your experiences and tips!
