Advantages of fiber optic Internet for business customers
Fiber optics for companies: Speed, stability and security
Fiber optics is the most powerful Internet technology for companies. It not only offers maximum speeds, but also maximum stability, scalability and security– features that are indispensable for modern business processes.
1
High speed & symmetrical bandwidths
Fiber optic Internet enables extremely high transmission speeds that meet the requirements of companies. In contrast to DSL connections, where the upload speed is significantly lower than the download speed, fiber optic Internet offers the same upload and download speeds.
2
Reliable connections
Fiber optic Internet offers high reliability and stability. In contrast to conventional copper cables, fiber optic has a significantly lower susceptibility to faults. This minimizes interruptions and outages to keep your business processes running continuously.
3
Scalability
Fiber optic Internet enables easy scaling of bandwidth to meet the growing requirements of companies. The bandwidth can be flexibly increased at any time without the need for major infrastructure changes. This offers companies a high degree of flexibility and future-proofing.
4
Security
Fiber optic Internet also offers improved security for business customers. The use of fiber optic cables makes it more difficult to intercept or manipulate data traffic. The solution is largely tap-proof. In addition, many fiber providers offer additional security features such as encryption and firewall protection to protect customers’ data.
Which fiber optic solution suits your company?
Not all fiber optics are the same – the most important differences
Fiber optics is the most powerful Internet technology for companies. It not only offers maximum speeds, but also maximum stability, scalability and security– features that are indispensable for modern business processes.
+
FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home)
With FTTH, the fiber optic cable is laid directly to the end user. This creates a particularly high-quality connection without copper components, with maximum stability and speed. However, it is not yet available throughout Germany.
- Highest quality, symmetrical bandwidths up to 100 Gbit/s
- No copper cables – maximum stability and speed
- Not yet available nationwide in Germany
+
FTTB (Fiber-to-the-Building)
With FTTB, the fiber optic cable is laid right into the building and then distributed via the existing building cabling. In this way, high-performance connections can also be implemented for larger office buildings or multi-party locations.
- Very powerful, internal distribution via existing cabling
- Symmetrical bandwidths possible
- Ideal for larger office buildings or multi-party locations
+
FTTC (Fiber-to-the-Curb)
FTTC ends at the roadside box (curb), the last route into the building is via copper cable. This means that higher speeds can be achieved than with DSL, but they are not symmetrical and are less powerful than FTTH or FTTB.
- Connection into the building via copper cable
- Higher speeds than DSL, but not symmetrical
- Less powerful than FTTH/FTTB
+
Hybrid solutions
Hybrid solutions (“fiber hybrid”) combine fiber optics with copper or coaxial cables. They enable the use of existing infrastructures and are a cost-effective interim solution, especially in regions where fiber optics are not yet available across the board.
- Cost-effective interim solution
- Use of existing infrastructure
- Less stable and future-proof than pure fiber optics

Differences in speed and bandwidth
The speed and bandwidth of fiber optic connections vary depending on the provider and regional expansion.
FTTH and FTTB connections generally offer very high, symmetrical bandwidths.
FTTC solutions also achieve fast downloads, but are usually asymmetrical due to the copper component – with significantly lower upload speeds.
For companies, this means that choosing the right fiber optic solution depends not only on the technology, but also on the provider. Differences in products, service levels and additional services determine which fiber optic connection best suits your requirements and what potential savings are possible.

How to choose the right fiber optic provider for your company
Choosing the right fiber optic provider is crucial to the performance and future-proofing of your business communications. Although they all offer fiber optics, the differences in speed, service level agreements (SLAs), additional services and costs are considerable. A structured comparison will ensure that you not only get a fast solution, but also the right one for your company.

What does fibre optics cost & how can costs be optimized?
Fiber optics for companies: Speed, stability and security
The cost of a fiber optic connection depends on several factors: the provider, the region and the type of connection (FTTH, FTTB, FTTC). In addition to the one-off connection costs, there are ongoing fees that vary depending on the bandwidth and service level
Important points:
- Acquisition costs are usually manageable, the decisive factor is the monthly fees.
- Ongoing costs vary depending on bandwidth, provider and service level (SLA).
Savings opportunities:
- Demand-oriented bandwidth instead of “oversizing”
- Compare offers from different providers
- Discounts through long-term contracts or bundling of services

Fiber optic availability in Germany & worldwide
Fiber wherever you are
Check availability, seize opportunities
The availability of fiber optics depends heavily on the region and provider. In Germany, metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt are already very well connected, while expansion is also progressing steadily in smaller towns and rural regions.
But fiber optics is also available internationally for business customers, with reliable partner networks in Europe, Asia, the USA and many other markets.
Examples of national & international fiber optic locations
- Germany: Around 50% coverage (approx. 24.8 million households/companies, 2025), strong in metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt.
- Europe (EU27+UK): Around 69% fiber optic coverage (Sept. 2024), significantly more in some countries.
- Worldwide: Already 29 countries with over 50% fiber optic penetration, including South Korea, Japan, UAE and USA.
