Ziggo connects houses in new housing estates to fiber optic, but speed remains the same – IT Pro – News

Any tube can break, but that is a matter of correct sizing. If it is paved, the pressure is already much more distributed and something rarely breaks. But if you want to improve that, it is always cheaper to use one, standard thing for that than separate pipes and hoses for gas, electricity, water, drainage, internet, etc.

There has been a ‘kind of card’ (click net) for years and using it / registering things is even mandatory, but in practice it often doesn’t make sense, so the tap still breaks everything.

Your example of the business park where it opened twice is another favorable scenario. When this district was constructed, the ground was literally dug open again for every facility.

There is little pavement on a campsite, but that does not alter the fact that it costs 100x more time and money to lay a new cable. You have to dig up everything again. Plus you run the risk of damaging an existing cable. The soil will continue to settle / subsidence for another year. You mess up gardens.

For a few euros the meter you can lay an empty hose or pipe. You can later throw in a new Ethernet cable, fiber optic, water pipe, whatever.

That this does not happen on a business park is because there is not one owner of the site, but everyone for themselves. So just like in a residential area, the various providers laugh because for each service they charge the full construction costs again.

Companies such as Shell often lay extensive gutters or even complete tunnels on their own site.
