Why fiber in Heerlen?
Fiber is the fastest and most stable internet connection available. Unlike copper or cable, light travels through the cable instead of electricity. That makes fiber more reliable, even in bad weather or when multiple devices are online at the same time. With fiber via our network in Heerlen, you benefit from:
Speeds up to 10 Gbps symmetrical (upload = download)
A stable connection, even when the whole family is streaming, gaming and video calling at the same time
A future-proof network ready for the coming decades
Freedom of choice: you choose your own provider on our open network
How does the fiber installation proceed?
The installation of fiber takes place in several steps. First, we lay the network in the street. Then we connect the homes. For the connection in your home, we make an appointment. The technician installs a fiber point in your meter cupboard. That usually takes a few hours.
