Double fiber optic laying in Frankenburg causes confusion among residents

in the municipality of Lilienthal, especially on Speckendamm in Frankenburg, a double laying of fiber optic lines causes irritation among residents. According to a report by the Weser-Kurier, the EWE company is currently moving fiber optic lines in the sidewalk, while the German fiber also had already carried out similar work. This has led to confusion because many residents have already concluded contracts with the German fiber optic.

eWe justifies the need for his work with the aim of opening up addresses in the areas of upper ends and courtyards. A fiber optic distribution cabinet is located in Frankenburg and the laying is crucial for the connection of these target addresses. For the residents there is the possibility to choose between the offers of EWE and the German fiber optic. The expansion of EWE is supported by a federal funding that aims to close "white spots" in the Osterholz district.

broadband expansion in Germany

In addition to the incident in Frankenburg, Germany pursues a comprehensive goal: by 2030, the entire country should be equipped with fiber optic fiber, as is explained on the website of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. The main responsibility for fiber optic expansion lies with telecommunications companies, supported by gigabit promotion 2.0, which is intended to offer special help for areas in which an economic expansion was not yet possible.

Applications for these funding can be made by local authorities such as municipalities or counties, as well as companies in public sponsorship. According to the current information, funding calls for 2025 have already been started. The expansion is to be advanced through industry dialogues between local authorities and telecommunications companies that have been necessary since 2024. Projects in areas with a high catch -up requirement are promoted.
