KPN gaat VDSL in glasvezelgebieden uitschakelen

KPN streeft ernaar om begin 2023 zo'n 2,4 miljoen Nederlandse adressen te kunnen voorzien van een glasvezelverbinding. De provider is voornemens in de periode daarna op alle adressen waar glasvezel beschikbaar is het kopernetwerk uit te schakelen. In sommige proefgebieden gebeurt dat overigens al voor 2023.

DELTA glasvezel nu ook beschikbaar in Caiway gebied

Caiway en DELTA, twee regionale internet, telefonie en tv-providers, werken sinds 2018 al intensief samen. Vanaf nu kunt u via Breedbandwinkel ook buiten Zeeland voor een DELTA glasvezel abonnement kiezen. Voorwaarde is wel dat het adres van het abonnement binnen het verzorgingsgebied van Caiway ligt.

KPN introduceert 1 Gigabit glasvezel

Het werd enige tijd geleden al aangekondigd. Vanaf vandaag, 2 maart, kunt u bij KPN glasvezelverbindingen met 1 Gigabit (1.000 Mb) internetsnelheid aanschaffen. Via Breedbandwinkel ontvangt u dit abonnement tijdelijk met maar liefst 6 maanden 50% korting. U betaalt gedurende die periode dan geen 65,00 euro, maar slechts 32,50 euro per maand.

Populariteit en gebruik vaste telefoonlijnen blijft dalen

Het aantal Nederlandse consumenten dat een vaste telefoonlijn belangrijk vindt, blijft dalen. Een trend die al in 2014 ingezet is. De meest voorkomende reden waarom consumenten nog een vaste telefoonlijn in huis hebben? Omdat de vaste telefoniedienst onderdeel uitmaakt van het internet en bellen abonnement of alles-in-1 pakket. Dat zegt ruim een kwart (26%) van de consumenten in het meest recente telefoniemarkt onderzoek van Telecompaper.

Nu ook vrije modemkeuze voor klanten van KPN

Klanten die een internetabonnement van KPN hebben waren altijd verplicht om gebruik te maken van het modem dat de provider in bruikleen meeleverde; de zogenoemde Experia Box. KPN heeft deze verplichte voorwaarde nu gewijzigd. Daardoor is het nu ook mogelijk om een eigen modem te kiezen en aan te sluiten.

Fikse verhoging uploadsnelheid voor DELTA klanten

Tot nu toe konden klanten met een internetabonnement van DELTA genieten van een maximale uploadsnelheid van 45 Mb. De provider heeft echter besloten de maximale uploadsnelheden flink te verhogen. Particuliere klanten kunnen nu maximaal met 100 Mb uploaden en klanten met een businesspack met maximaal 125 Mb.

Provider Freedom gaat toch al 128 klanten aansluiten

Internet provider Freedom, de 'opvolger' van het door KPN ingelijfde XS4ALL, zou vorige week groots van start gaan. Het zal echter niemand verbazen dat de uitbraak van het coronavirus ook hier roet in het eten gegooid heeft. De lancering is voor onbepaalde tijd uitgesteld. De geplande Launch Party in Paradiso was drie weken geleden al afgelast.

Glasvezel en VDSL worden vaker aanbevolen dan kabel

Internet en tv providers met abonnementen via glasvezel of VDSL worden door consumenten vaker aangeprezen bij familie, vrienden en collega's dan kabelproviders. Dat blijkt uit een recent Net Promoter Score (NPS) onderzoek van Telecompaper. Glasvezel- en VDSL providers scoren bijna vier keer hoger dan kabelproviders.

Is it time to end simulated sex on television and film?

Why, in the light of the #MeToo movement, have we not questioned the aesthetic, much less moral, justification for the disproportionate amount of nudity and simulated sex required of female actors? Do we really need to prolong this puerile reliance on sex to attract viewers?
