Deutsche Telekom(DT) said it has been increasing connection speeds to up to 250 Mbps for 3,315,000 lines, over the last four weeks.
According to DT, the number of lines with speeds of up to 250 Mbps alone has grown during this short period by 2.9 million, giving a total 8.9 million. The number of lines with up to 100 Mbit/s has increased by another 415,000 lines, through retrofitting with vectoring technology, e.g. in former development areas.
The expansion is supported by Deutsche Telekom’s own constantly growing fiber-optic network that connects the nodes that link the customer to the core network.
The company said is far more active in Germany than any other provider in terms of broadband expansion. From north to south and east to west, from the big cities to the smallest communities, people everywhere are reaping the benefits of Deutsche Telekom’s efforts. This time several hundred thousand of lines are being upgraded in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. Yet in each of the villages of Grünsfeld, Gumtow and Kaub, for example, the work benefits just a couple of dozen users.
