In this case though, this offering isn't using the fiber we voted for:
>Im Gegensatz zu anderen FTTH Angeboten, die auf Layer-2 Plattformen von städtischen Werken basieren, benutzt Fiber7 eine komplett eigene Internet-Infrastruktur. (https://www.fiber7.ch/fiber7-verfugbarkeit/ https://www.fiber7.ch/fiber7-verfugbarkeit/)
Loosely translated this means that they are using their own infrastructure not based on what the EWZ has already built.
Considering how hard it is to get permission to dig holes around here, I wonder how the hell they have done this.
- Hurdy 12y agoI think you've misread that. They don't use the layer 2 of EWZ, but they do use the fibers (layer 1).

(https://www.fiber7.ch/fiber7-verfugbarkeit/ https://www.fiber7.ch/fiber7-verfugbarkeit/) I think you misread that he misread that. It translates to this: "Contrary to other fiber-to-the-home offers, which are based on Layer-2 platforms by the municipal works, fiber7 uses an infrastructure all its own.". That strongly implies they use different fibers.
- Hurdy 12y agoIt also says: "Fiber7 basiert auf dem Ausbau von Glasfaser-Infrastruktur (sogenannter Layer 1), den die ehemalige Monopolistin und verschiedene städtische Energie-Werke seit einigen Jahren vornehmen." I assume that the FTTH are what the EWZ and others built, but then the connection to the backbone etc. is their own, and not the shared one that the EWZ offers for other providers. Not sure how this technically works but obviously init7 doesn't have their own fibers to every customer.
