The best fibre network for Switzerland
With an annual investment of around 1.7 billion, Swisscom will enable almost the entire population of Switzerland to access the fibre optic network by 2035. This will also allow the copper network to be switched off and electricity consumption to be significantly reduced. Swisscom will ensure coverage for a small number of customers outside residential areas with state-of-the-art, high-performance mobile and satellite technologies.
The best network
Again and again.
Switzerland’s best fibre network is getting bigger all the time
We want everybody to be ready to use the opportunities of tomorrow.
Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH)
Bandwidths in the gigabit range will enable the entire Swiss population in the future to use the highest quality, state-of-the-art digital services at home. To achieve this, Swisscom is modernising its existing fixed and mobile network infrastructure in all Swiss municipalities. By 2035, almost the entire population will have access to the fibre optic network.
