Over 31,000 households in Capelle aan den IJssel will have access to fiber optic
In Capelle aan den IJssel, more than 31,000 households will have access to superfast internet via fiber optic from Open Dutch Fiber. The first households have been using internet via fiber optic with upload and download speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) since the first quarter of 2023. Open Dutch Fiber is once again connecting a large area to fiber optic, making a substantial contribution to further digitalization of the Netherlands.
The work will start under the leadership of Open Dutch Fiber in October 2022 in the neighborhoods Rivium (partly), Kralingse Veer, Middelwatering, Schenkel, Oostgaarde, and Schollevaar Zuid. The other neighborhoods will follow afterwards.

Open Dutch Fiber is laying an open fiber optic network to provide everyone in the Netherlands access to the best telecom infrastructure", says Floris van de Broek, CEO of Open Dutch Fiber. "By closely collaborating with municipalities, housing associations, and homeowners' associations, we are able to realize our projects faster."
