EDIT: they came today for some excavations, will come back on Monday to activate it

After "only" 23 months of waiting time...on Friday morning they'll come to install the 2.5G/1G FTTH! πŸŽ‰ πŸ₯³

#FTTH #Connectivity

@stefano congrats! We just got ours last week, so I need to move all the old connections over to the new one this week.

While over here we have a data provider which is in competition with the first provider. They are pulling kilometers of fiber optic cable, per day, in the street {air mounts} to the Fibre Access Terminals FAT, to get as much people connected as possible.

The first provider has done something that I've spoken before and we still don't have the cable in the street let alone the Fibre access terminals from them

@stefano symmetric I hope..
@Nux 2.5G down, 1 G up. One fixed public ipv4 address, a /48 public ipv6 class
@stefano It could have been 24 months! 🀣

@stefano My patents finally got their FTTH connection installed, the city ripped up the entire street in less than 2 weeks. The local internet provider, who promised in january, that service would be available in november, just pushed back the date to march 2027. :D

I have a feeling we will have to wait more than that, hopefully not as long as you. πŸ˜…

@subnetspider @stefano Here in my village, they started to install the fibre and then stopped, because the construction work was so poorly done with so much damage to the sidewalks πŸ˜•
@Larvitz @subnetspider they destroyed our water pipe. Then the FTTC connections for almost three weeks. Now we deserve it
@stefano @subnetspider I now have a parabolic dish on the roof with a fixed 26GHz mmWave wireless link to a nearby radio rower. Does cost a fortune, but gives proper speeds (500/250mbps) with a static IPv4 and a fixed IPv6 prefix. I'll keep that until they finally get the fibre situation solved here ..
@stefano @Larvitz @subnetspider My fibre line comes from a "telephone pole" about 35 metres away. For whatever reason, they didn't bother to put the phone or fibre lines underground where I live.
@stefano
Congrats!πŸŽ‰
@stefano Congrats!! πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰ 🍺

@stefano

Yay! 2,5Gbit/s, how much pizza would that be able to carry?

@h3artbl33d @stefano Better yet: How much tiramisu?

@pertho @stefano

Better yet:

Ristretto in the morning, Italian bread, olives and mortadella in the noon, pizza, tiramisu, puni sole in the eve :)

:flan_drooling:

@h3artbl33d @pertho that's a good plan!
@stefano Perhaps a celebratory "I got fibre installed in the office" Tiramisu!
@h3artbl33d
@pertho @h3artbl33d the FTTH will be at home. Impossible, at the moment, in the office as there's a blocking ancient wall under the road and they can't drill a hole. SO things will be sloooow there
@stefano @h3artbl33d Oh no! Well, at least you'll have it at home! I blame the Romans. πŸ˜‚

@pertho @stefano

I'd argue that there can be a hole drilled in every wall, given the right equipment, know-how and willingness  

But home office it is then!

@h3artbl33d @pertho of course. But those ancient walls are protected and can’t be drilled.
@stefano How deep down below the road do they go? I wonder if the fibre could be routed under/over them?
@h3artbl33d
@pertho @h3artbl33d it depends. sometimes they go over it, sometimes under (but it's difficult as they don't usually want to touch stuff under the ancient things). They usually circumnavigate them, with strange routes.
