Is there fiber optic in my street?
Imagine: superfast internet that always works, perfect for streaming, gaming, and working from home. But how do you know if fiber optic is already available in your street? Jeroen Dangremond, Manager Customer Operations at Open Dutch Fiber, works daily on the installation of fiber optic networks and explains how you can check this and what you can do next.
Is there fiber optic in my street?
Do you want to know if there is fiber optic in your street? The easiest way to check this is through the Open Dutch Fiber postcode check On our website. Enter your postal code and house number and you will immediately see if your address already has fiber optic or will be connected soon. This is fast, simple, and provides you with immediate clarity.
Jeroen Dangremond explains why the postcode check is useful: "We lay fiber optic per neighborhood. Sometimes certain streets are already ready, while others still have to wait. With the postcode check, you can quickly see how it is for your home."
Often you also receive a I'm sorry, but I need the text that you would like me to translate into English. Please provide the text so that I can assist you. Contact the network administrator or your provider as soon as fiber optic is being installed in your area. They will provide you with detailed information about what will happen and when your street will be connected.
How do I use fiber optic?
If there is fiber optic in your street, it means that the cables are already in the ground and probably have been installed up to your house. To use fiber optic, you need to follow a few steps:
Choose a provider. Find an internet provider that offers fiber optic and choose a subscription that suits you.
Let a technician do the connection. Jeroen: "Your provider will send a technician to install and connect the fiber optic box (FTU) with a modem."
Make a connection. Once everything is connected, you can browse the internet using wifi or a cable.
The installation is usually arranged by your provider and is often included in the price of your subscription.
What if my street does not have fiber optic yet?
If there is no fiber optic in your street yet, you can check on the Open Dutch Fiber website if the installation is already planned. "We look at each neighborhood to see what is possible. Sometimes a neighborhood can be connected quickly, but sometimes more time is needed. With the postcode check, you can see what the schedule is," says Jeroen.
