The mad pace of noise from Swisscom and Salt

In the speed race on the fixed network is turning it on now, the Swisscom . The blue giant increased the maximum surf speed fiber-optic network, from March 2020 to 10 Gigabit-per-second, as he announced a few days ago. So far, the highest rate was at 1 Gigabit per second. With the increase in the Swisscom draws level with rival, Salt .What does this mean for the users? Answers to the important questions.

Why increase the Swisscom Internet speed on your fibre network at 10 gigabits per second? This is a reaction of the Swiss market leader to a competitor Salt. The smallest mobile operator in Switzerland joined in the spring of 2018 in the fixed network market as a full-service provider with Swisscom, Sunrise and UPC equal. Salt has launched a fibre product with a data transmission rate of 10 gigabits per second. That was the theoretical maximum speed for an Internet connection in Switzerland. To the success of the Salt keeps covered. Recently there was talk of 50,000 customers by the end of June. Since then, the company has announced no new Numbers.

What you must think of the user under a 10-Gigabit-per-second? A high definition movie with this speed in about four seconds to download. With a conventional fixed network connection this may take, depending on the transmission rate of more than an hour.

a Consumer Needs to have an Internet speed of 10 Gigabit per second? For a family of four with a high data usage connection for a Internet 100 to 150 megabits per second completely, says the industry expert, Ralf Beyeler from Online comparison service money to the country. Thus, the power jerk can be used freely, even if all four family members surfing at the same time intensive and high definition serial stream. The value of 10 Gigabit per second is therefore seen as what he really is: a clever selling point for the advertising of Salt and Swisscom.

Benefit all households of the increased speed? no. Can take advantage of a 10 Gigabit-per-second only, who is directly connected to a fiber-optic network. The are currently holding approximately 1.26 million to 3.8 million Swiss house. The classic copper cables not create this Tempo.

there Is a fast supply of Salt and Swisscom further hook? , However. In the case of the 10 Gigabit per second is a theoretical value. In practice, Swisscom, and Salt put in a technology where a maximum of 32 connections to share the high speed. All participants load a movie down the pace so to less than 300 megabits per second. In addition, devices such as Laptops and Smartphones today are usually not able to process a transfer rate of 10 Gigabit per second.

How expensive is the quick offers from Swisscom and Salt? Salt requires just 50 Swiss francs per month for users who are not the provider already mobile customers. For comparison: Swisscom will charge for the same speed of just under 90 francs per month. The state service has announced an increase as of March 2020, the pace of fiber-optic network.

What is the maximum Internet speeds of the other major providers? A jerk, there was this fall, especially in the case of the cable operators: The largest Swiss provider UPC and the national composite quick line have increased their top speeds to 1 Gigabit per second. In the case of Sunrise 1 Gigabit per second are already available.

Worth the 10 Gigabit per second? Telecom expert, Beyeler keeps the offers of 1 Gigabit per second for customers, is quite sufficient, and have a very fast Internet wish. He refers to movies in the currently highest-resolution 4K video format. To transfer such a speed of 50 megabits per second, fast enough.
