Revolution on the Internet: Fast fiber optic internet for 1,500 Bamberg tenants!

A lot is happening in the area of ​​digital infrastructure in Bamberg! More than 1,500 tenants of the “Building Cooperative for the City and District of Bamberg e. G.” can look forward to directly installed fiber optic connections in their homes. This important innovation comes about through an agreement between the building cooperative and the Bamberg municipal utilities, which promotes the expansion of the baMbit fiber optic network. Instead of just extending to the basement, the fiber optic cables are now laid into the individual apartments, which significantly improves the transmission quality. Those responsible are pleased that signal interference and the use of copper cables are now a thing of the past.

Dr. Michael Fiedeldey, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Bamberg, emphasizes the advantages of this measure. “Not only are we creating faster access to the Internet, but we are also increasing the value of the properties and creating additional added value for the tenants,” he explains. Tenants can switch to the municipal utility's fiber optic internet for just 24.90 euros per month. You have the opportunity to check the bandwidths and services offered by doing an address check bambit.de to check.

Digitalization in the focus of the federal government

But this trend is not only being pushed locally. The federal government has made the expansion of the digital infrastructure a priority. New mobile communications standards and fast internet are seen as crucial for the modernization of Germany as a business location. This expansion, which also includes fiber optic and mobile networks, is classified as an “overriding public interest”. This means that the approval process for the necessary connections and masts should be significantly accelerated. More than 76.5 percent of German households are already covered by gigabit connections, with fiber optic connections available to over 35 percent of households.

These developments show that in Germany there is a clear focus on a powerful and stable digital infrastructure, which is of enormous importance even in crisis situations.
