Vodafone has upgraded--in just three months--one million Berlin households to gigabit internet access speeds. Already having upgraded six million German household passings, Vodafone expects to reach 11 million gigabit passings by the end of 2019 and more than 12 million households passed by 2021.
That the gigabit upgrade is happening so fast is testament to the use of hybrid fiber coax cable TV facilities, among whose advantages has been lower cost and faster upgrades than switching from copper telephone networks to fiber-to-home.
Liberty Global has estimated the cost to upgrade to gigabit speeds at about €20 ($22) per passing.
