Expansion Update on Fibre Optics in Werne: Details for Local Residents

Update on Fiber Optic Expansion in Werne

Westconnect GmbH has provided an update on the progress of the fiber optic expansion in Werne, despite the insolvency of the construction partner, Convert.

The deep construction has been largely completed in Langern, Grevinghof, and Stadtwald, but cable installations are still pending. Approximately 50 kilometers of route have been laid, and about 1,500 households have been connected to the network. Mainly empty tubes have been laid, and fiber optic cables have been blown from the network distributor (NVT) to the properties. The main connection to the Point of Presence (PoP) is almost complete, with only 500 meters still missing.

Despite the insolvency of Convert, the fiber optic expansion in Werne is continuing. Westconnect is coordinating with the insolvency administrator to determine how and whether Convert will continue to work with them. No construction work is currently taking place due to the insolvency of Convert.

Residents and business owners can check their building's location in the marketing area and the availability of the offer by visiting eon-highspeed.com/werne. The fiber optic connection in the expansion area is basically free of charge for owners once the property owner declaration (GEE) is available.
