South Kiel: Fiber fiber expansion comes-but only in 3-4 years!

in the city of Kiel will the expansion of the fiber optic network promote, especially in under -provisioned districts such as Rönne. Local advisory board Sandra Schönig (CDU) announced that the residents can expect a connection in three to four years. "The expansion of the fiber optic network in small districts is simply not possible for companies," said Schönig.

After completing the private sector fiber optic expansion in spring 2025, which will cover around 85 percent of all house addresses in Kiel, the city plans to close the remaining supply gaps. Jonas Dageförde, Chief Digital Officer of the city, confirmed that Kiel will apply for funding from the federal government in order to close the economic gap and thus also to connect the south of Kiel to the fast internet. The start of construction could take place between 2026 and 2028, since precise planning is expected in the coming spring. Further information is available on www.kn-online.de .
