FiberToTinus’Home (FTTH)
Posted by Martijn Breet in Uncategorized, tags: broadband, fiberbesides ‘a slender and greatly elongated substance capable of being spun into yarn’ which sounds quite nice; it also defines fiber as: ‘Optical fiber is made of flexible glass and can support very high data transfer rates. An individual glass fiber, roughly the thickness of a human hair, is capable of carrying a distinct signal transmitted in the form of pulses of light’
Which sounds even nicer…. Guess what……..No, I haven’t taken up spinning… I finally ordered my FTTH or Fiber To Tinus’ Home as I define it… and got it delivered…Whats in the package; a 50 Mbit symmetrical internet connection using the XMSnet network… (100 Mbit speeds also available..)
The CO (which is quite near) was already hooked up to the backbone; and after my order a fiber was blown to my appartment and welded together….. resulting in a plug neatly fixed in the box, a PacketFront DRG500:

Plug it in.... but where

- 300 mbps wireless?!?
A new broadband (300Mbits/s so they claim) router……. to serve my laptop and media center PC. My other PC is still hooked up to my 3Mbit DSL line (InternetPlusBellen) which also has two separate phonenumbers attached…. a legacy from the ISDN times…..
