The Belgian internet provider Proximus is going to transfer its DSL customers in specific areas to more expensive fiber optic connections and close the copper networks there.Customers have no say in this and the price rises from a minimum of EUR 27.50 to a minimum of EUR 42.95 per month.However, the customers in question will receive a temporary allowance in the form of a lower rate, just as low as their existing DSL rate.It is unknown how long this will be in effect.Customers of Proximus subsidiary Scarlet can also purchase fiber from Proximus for their old, even lower rate.That will be for two years.Scarlet may also offer fiber optics in the future, but it is not doing that now, HLN writes.Proximus justifies the decision by stating that it does not want to maintain two networks at the same time in a single location.In July of last year, it was announced that Proximus has connected more than ten percent of Belgian homes and businesses to fiber.It is also reported that Proximus will switch the first connections to fiber optic in March, starting in Brussels.Fiber was installed there five years ago.Later this year, places such as Hasselt, Deurne and Ghent will follow.The newspaper reports that Proximus will inform the customers in question 'well in advance' about a non-voluntary switch.Customers can also expect higher speeds on the new network.These were increased last August from a minimum of 500mbit/s to a minimum of 1000mbit/s.The upload speed is standard 50mbit/s, unless 15 euros more is paid monthly;then it goes up to 100mbit/s.The dsl speeds at Proximus go up to 100mbit/s download and 20mbit/s upload.Strategy and Concept Manager Tweakers & AutoweekShare your skills for your dream job Apply now!Key topics in Artificial Intelligence[Comment edited by SmokingCrop on January 22, 2022 13:15][Comment edited by sebastienbo on Jan 23, 2022 08:25][Comment edited by SmokingCrop on January 23, 2022 00:11][Comment edited by bramvandeperre on January 23, 2022 14:45][Comment edited by sdk1985 on Jan 22, 2022 14:50][Comment edited by SmokingCrop on Jan 22, 2022 13:43][Comment edited by sebastienbo on January 22, 2022 18:43][Comment edited by SmokingCrop on Jan 22, 2022 2:31 PM][Comment edited by dfury on January 22, 2022 14:03][Comment edited by kraken modem on January 22, 2022 20:58][Comment edited by obimk1 on Jan 23, 2022 10:37][Comment edited by R4gnax on January 24, 2022 12:16][Comment edited by Bor on Jan 23, 2022 09:43][Comment edited by Terracotta on Jan 23, 2022 09:56][Comment edited by SmokingCrop on January 22, 2022 13:11][Comment edited by Dashter on Jan 22, 2022 2:36 PM][Comment edited by Terracotta on Jan 23, 2022 10:14][Comment edited by Terracotta on Jan 23, 2022 5:06 PM][Comment edited by Jeanpaul145 on January 22, 2022 13:25][Comment edited by Andros on Jan 22, 2022 13:52]This item can not be responded to.Nintendo Switch (OLED model) Apple iPhone SE (2022) LG G1 Google Pixel 6 Call of Duty: Vanguard Samsung Galaxy S22 Garmin fēnix 7 Nintendo Switch LiteTweakers together with Hardware Info, AutoTrack, Gasmetaal.nl, Nationale Vacaturebank, Intermediair and Independer forms DPG Online Services BV All rights reserved © 1998 - 2022 • Hosting by True
