KPN will start offering 1Gbit/s on its fiber optic network in March 2020.Ultimately, that supply must reach all households that can purchase fiber from the provider.The major cities will be the first to receive 1Gbit/s.In March 2020, fiber optic customers in the municipalities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Eindhoven 'and in dozens of other places' will be able to purchase 1Gbit/s from KPN, the provider reports.From that month, the provider will bring the speed to all households with a fiber optic connection to KPN's network.At the end of 2020, beginning of 2021, all households should be able to purchase the subscription.Initially, the upload speed will be 500Mbit/s.At the end of 2020, KPN will increase this to 1GBit so that there are symmetrical speeds.Until now, KPN has offered symmetrical upload and download speeds on its fiber optic network, with a maximum of 500Mbit/s down and 500Mbit/s up.Not all modems are suitable for 1Gbit/s.The WiFi modems V10 and V10a already are.Those who do not have a modem with support for the speed will receive one when purchasing a 1Gbit/s subscription.KPN has not yet announced what the price of the subscription will be.The higher speed is the result of the implementation of pon techniques in the network.KPN announced in February that it would introduce gpon, or gigabit-capable passive optical network, in order to be able to offer 1Gbit/s.Halfway through the year, the company started the construction of new gpon-based connections in Zeeland.At gpon, a single main fiber optic cable runs to a district, which is then divided into different optical connections in that district by an optical splitter.These split signals arrive at different individual households, after which the bandwidth is divided by a house's modem picking the right signal via time multiplexing and algorithms.Advisor Chief Information Officer (CIO)Share your skills for your dream job Apply now![Comment edited by Mushroomician on 20 Dec 2019 16:01][Comment edited by johnkeates on Dec 20, 2019 10:49 PM][Comment edited by NDSFREAK on December 21, 2019 11:23][Comment edited by KiLLerBoy_001 on December 21, 2019 4:25 PM][Comment edited by johnkeates on December 21, 2019 5:42 PM][Comment edited by Stadtionalist on December 22, 2019 21:12][Comment edited by Terrestrial on December 20, 2019 6:05 PM][Comment edited by Cilph on December 22, 2019 01:04][Comment edited by mr_evil08 on December 20, 2019 7:49 PM][Comment edited by Cilph on December 20, 2019 4:24 PM][Comment edited by mr_evil08 on December 20, 2019 20:01][Comment edited by 2Dutch on December 20, 2019 4:57 PM][Comment edited by spNk on December 20, 2019 22:53][Comment edited by MoldyInko on December 20, 2019 4:05 PM][Comment edited by TheVivaldi on December 20, 2019 4:48 PM][Comment edited by Mushroomician on 20 Dec 2019 16:19][Comment edited by TheVivaldi on December 20, 2019 4:45 PM][Comment edited by JDx on December 21, 2019 09:00][Comment edited by DarkForce on December 20, 2019 4:50 PM][Comment edited by Bongoarnhem on 20 December 2019 16:02][Comment edited by CyBeR on December 20, 2019 7:34 PM][Comment edited by White_Collar on December 21, 2019 13:16][Comment edited by page404 on December 21, 2019 4:20 PM]This item can not be responded to.Nintendo Switch (OLED model) Apple iPhone SE (2022) LG G1 Google Pixel 6 Call of Duty: Vanguard Samsung Galaxy S22 Garmin fēnix 7 Nintendo Switch LiteTweakers together with Hardware Info, AutoTrack, Gasmetaal.nl, Nationale Vacaturebank, Intermediair and Independer forms DPG Online Services BV All rights reserved © 1998 -
