Fiber optic expansion in Sulzbach-Rosenberg: Progress and challenges

There is exciting news about fiber optic expansion in the city of Sulzbach-Rosenberg. Telekom Deutschland GmbH has committed to pushing forward the funded expansion in several parts of the city. These include Forsthof, Grossalbershof, Kleinfalz and many other areas. The work is expected to be completed by 2026, meaning improved internet connectivity for residents.

Everyone who lives in the affected areas has the opportunity to register for a house connection. Those interested can do this via the Telekom website, where they can also check availability. This is a great opportunity for residents to enjoy the benefits of a fast internet connection.

Economic expansion of Telekom

But that's not all. Telekom is also looking for a reliable civil engineering company to carry out its own economic expansion in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. Construction was originally scheduled to start in 2024, but this schedule has not yet been met. However, the city administration has received assurances that Telekom will continue to stick to this project. However, a new date for the start of construction is still pending.

There is also news about Deutsche Giga Access (DGA) and GVG fiber optics. In August 2024, the DGA agreed to a discussion with the city administration after the cooperation with GVG-Glas Fiber ended in May of this year. GVG-Glasfibro is still planning to expand its own business, but needs a new partner to realize this. It is currently unclear whether and when these plans can be implemented.

The city administration has a supporting role in this context by making the public transport routes available for the construction work and taking over the supervision of the measures. If you have any questions about existing contracts with GVG fiber optics or DGA, citizens can contact the relevant contact points directly.
