CETIN speeds up to 1 Gbps, offers interactive network coverage map

Czech Telecommunications Infrastructure (CETIN), which provides access to its fixed network infrastructure to seventeen suppliers, announced that from 01 January, it has reached a maximum speed of 1 Gbps on its fibre-optic network and that it will continue its programme of increasing the internet speed. The operator has also launched a dedicated web site with an interactive network coverage map, including plans for the construction of DSLAMs four months in advance.

The investment plan, under which the company plans to build 10,500 DSLAMs, was launched in 2015. Until the end of 2017, CETIN completed 3,105 DSLAMs and covered 839,950 households. By the end of this year, it plans to double that number.

In 2015, CETIN began by providing a speed of 40 Mbps on its network and by the end of 2017, it had managed to increase it to 250 Mbps. To speed up the internet on the existing lines, the operator deploys technologies such as vectoring or VDSL3 to allow speed up to 350 Mbps.
