OXG brings fiber optics to Göttingen – 54,000 households benefit!

An exciting development in the field of telecommunications is emerging in the charming university town of Göttingen. The Düsseldorf telecommunications provider OXG has announced that it will start expanding a new fiber optic network in the region. For a large part of the city's population, this means a step forward into the digital future, as a total of 54,000 households will benefit from fast fiber optic connections in the future HNA reported.

The expansion is currently in the planning phase. OXG plans to invest a high double-digit million amount in the infrastructure. An exciting prospect, because end customers will not have to bear any additional costs for the connection themselves. Only the internet contract with the provider of your choice is due. This uncomplicated solution makes the fiber optic offering particularly attractive for all households in Göttingen.

A significant joint venture

OXG-Glasfarben GmbH, the company behind this project, is one of the largest fiber optic alliances in Germany. It is also reported that Vodafone will be responsible for marketing the connections. What is interesting is that OXG's fiber optic network is made available to other telecommunications providers. This gives users the opportunity to choose from different tariffs, which stimulates competition in the region - a positive aspect, considering that fast internet is still a luxury item in many parts of Germany.

We can find another example of fiber optic expansion in Hennef and Markt Schwaben in Bavaria, where Deutsche Telekom is also planning extensive projects. Over 14,800 households in Hennef and around 7,000 in Markt Schwaben are to be supplied with fiber optics as quickly as possible Fiber optic internet reported. This shows that the trend towards nationwide fiber optic expansion is taking hold not only in Göttingen, but throughout Germany.

Political support for expansion

The federal government has set clear priorities to advance nationwide fiber optic expansion. An acceleration law specially developed for this purpose is intended to speed up the approval process. This was approved by both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, which is a good sign for projects like the one in Göttingen. Federal Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger has underlined the importance of high-performance telecommunications networks and emphasized that almost 99 percent of households in Germany have access to broadband connections with at least 16 megabits per second. Over 76.5 percent can even access gigabit connections, as above federalgovernment.de is to be experienced.

OXG's project in Göttingen is therefore not just a local event, but part of a larger trend that ensures fast, reliable internet access throughout Germany. The fiber optic expansion is an important step into the digital future of our society, which many are already eagerly awaiting.
