They use high pressure to blow the fiber lines a few miles away to a hook-up point.

Cool to see how that works :pimp

Finally we are getting some real speed and can do inhouse hosting too.

wow very cool and congrats on the nice conection! :thumbsup

That's fucking awesome, are they charging a lot for it?

cool :)

Sounds like a cool stuff :glugglug

What type of speeds?

2300 euro for bringing fiber to the office (one time fee) incl. the router/hardware and installation
300 euro per month for the connection incl. all bandwith/datatraffic

50Mbit up&down
later I can get 100Mbit or more (once they entire industrial area here is connected)

Nice!

Thinking of getting it in here aswell...

Looking good , i would like to have one of this in my house

pretty cool indeed :thumbsup

That's awesome

50Mbit up&down !!!! My life would be much more easier with such a connection!

very nice :)

fuck the down speed, now the UP speed is what you want :)
Im jealous lol

50 up, nice.

damn, sweet speeds

Hi Chris
Yup, so my clients can soon download all our stuff from our local TerraByte filers.
I've been wanting this for many years :winkwink:

little advice for the office. See if they can do rate-shaping for your files ips. There are devices that can do it inline with your network. And limit your file servers to say 40Mbps or so. Or else you could get someone sucking it down to their server and saturating your office and making life miserable for you :)

WOW Nice connection :)

:thumbsup

Niceeeeeeeeee i would pay 3x more for that but i think i wont see that next 50 years here.

Cool :thumbsup

thanks, i'll ask my tech guys this.

Wow 50mbs is huge.

They just ran new fiber infront of our office 100mbs up and down for $1,600 a month. Time to upgrade!

Still envy as fuck here LOL

Im calling someone, surely that must be an option in Vancouver as well

Cable companies are now competing with fiber companies.
120Mbit downstream and 10Mbit upstream (for consumers at only 40 euro a month)

(over coax cable)

Ohh tell me about it, however here in Canada they are JUST getting to this volume.
Still pretty hard to get and you need to basically have your office built on the backbone.
I have called 6 companies now and they are all getting back to me this week although i would be lucky if even 1 can deliver

Man sometimes i just want to move to Sweden where you could get 10/10 8 years ago for 200 bucks

whoa congratz !
I need to move somewhere where I can get that kind of speed -_-

Looks pretty high-tech.Congrats for the new connection!

And more blonde girls there in Sweden :winkwink:

It must be a pretty hard work for them, huh?

5 different companies are needed to do all stuff. LOL
-one just diggs the sand
-one lays the pipes
-one comes to put the fiber thru the pipe
-another comes to connect if from the entry point to the 19'' rack
-the last brings the router and installs it
