Do the fiber check
Is fiber available at your address?

Do I already have fiber at home?
Not sure if fiber is already installed in your home? You can find out yourself in just a few minutes, without a technician or phone call. You can check it in three ways:
1. Check your meter cupboard
Look for a turquoise cable that enters your home from the ground or wall. That cable ends in a small white box of about 10 centimeters: the fiber box, also known as FTU. Often it says "fiber" or a brand name on it, such as Open Dutch Fiber. Do you see this box? Then you already have a fiber connection and you can directly choose a provider.
2. Have you received mail from us?
Have you received a letter or email from Open Dutch Fiber? Then there is fiber in your area or it is on its way.
3. Do the postal code check
Fill in at the top in the postal code checker your postal code and house number. You will immediately see whether your address is connected, whether the installation is planned and which providers you can choose.
"Do you see a small white box in your meter cupboard, about the size of a pack of cards, with a fiber optic cable in it? Then you probably already have fiber optic."

Which providers are available at your address?
Open Dutch Fiber is an open network. This means that multiple providers use our fiber infrastructure. You choose which provider suits you best, based on price, speed, customer service or a combination of internet and tv.
We lay the network and manage it. The providers deliver their services via our infrastructure. This way you always have freedom of choice: you choose a provider, and if you later want to switch to another, nothing changes about the connection itself.
Which providers are available at your address, you can see directly after the check. The following providers are on our network:
The Open Dutch Fiber network in numbers
1.000.000+ addresses connected to our fiber network
1.500.000 households and businesses as rollout target
2021 year we started building in the Netherlands
We expand the network every week. Fiber is rolled out in phases per neighborhood, so we can guarantee a stable and future-proof connection everywhere.
When will I get fiber?
We lay fiber in phases, neighborhood by neighborhood. This means the schedule can differ per street, even if your neighbors already have fiber. Whether and when your street is due depends on three things:
Whether there is already fiber optic in the area.
How many homes we can connect at once.
Whether there is space for the technical installations.
Is the network already in your street? Then you can see that directly in the postal code check. Is your address not listed yet? We are continuously expanding our network. If we are going to work in your neighborhood, you will receive a letter from us in advance. Until then, you can always redo the postal code check.
New construction?
Do you live in a newly built home? Fiber optic is standard in most new construction projects. Check with the contractor whether Open Dutch Fiber is the network installer, or do the check on your postal code as soon as you know it.

Open Dutch Fiber has an open network. Multiple providers use our fiber infrastructure. Which providers are available at your address, you will see directly after the fiber check.
First, you choose the internet speed. There are many speeds available from 100 Mbit/s to up to 8 Gbit/s, so there is always one that suits your situation.
Which internet speed suits you best?
· If you live and work at home with your partner and occasionally watch a movie, then 100Mbit/s is often enough.
· For a family that heavily uses the internet for work or streaming and wants to do so simultaneously, 400Mbit/s is sufficient.
· If you have a family and want to be able to work, download, stream, and game on multiple devices at the same time, then a speed of 1Gbit/s is more suitable.
You can easily test your current speed via www.speedtest.nl If you are satisfied with your current speed, then you choose the same speed. If you prefer something faster, then you opt for a faster package. By the way, if you want to adjust the speed in between, you can do it quickly and easily online most of the time. Additionally, lower speeds only offer a financial advantage of a few euros per month.
No, you are not required to take out a subscription. However, it does affect when we install a fiber connection in your home. If you take out a subscription, we install a fiber connection point in your home free of charge. If you live in a stairwell or duplex building, everyone in the building gets a connection point as soon as at least one resident takes out a subscription. If you live in a high-rise building, every resident gets a free fiber connection point regardless of whether anyone has a subscription. Sometimes we install it invisibly in the wall, until you take out a subscription. Use the postcode check to see what applies to your address.
We install and manage the fiber network. We do not offer subscriptions for internet, television, or telephony ourselves. The providers on our network do that.
Because our network is open, all providers are allowed to offer their services on it. You choose which provider best suits you. Think of Odido, Fiber, Freedom Internet, TriNed, or one of the other providers on our network. We provide the connection, the provider arranges your subscription.
Then we will install fiber optic in your neighborhood, or it is already there. In the letter you can read what the next step is. Do the zip code check to see the current status of your address.
No. You choose whether you want a fiber connection. If you take out a subscription with one of our providers while we are installing in your street, the connection is free. Read more: I don't want fiber. Is it mandatory?
Why fiber?
1. Super fast internet
With fiber, you can enjoy internet speeds that are 20 times faster than with traditional connections.
2. Reliable and stable
You don't share your connection with your neighbors. This means your internet remains fast and stable in the evenings and on weekends.
3. Open network
Thanks to Open Dutch Fiber's open network, you can choose the provider and package that best suits your needs.
How is fiber installed?
From the pavement to your front door: installing fiber typically takes no longer than one day. Our technicians lay the fiber cable underground and install the connection point at a location you choose, usually in the meter cupboard.
