Telekom disappointed Odelzhausen: fiber optic connections in danger!

Odelzhausen, Deutschland - in Odelzhausen, dissatisfaction is bubbling. Deutsche Telekom has made an important promise that it has not yet complied with: the promised fiber optic connections for several districts are still on the brink. This caused a lot of trouble in the community, especially with Mayor Markus Trinkl, who feels "demonstrated" by the company.

As early as 2022, Telekom expressed the plan to supply some of the districts such as Sittenbach, Sixtnitgern and Roßbach with glass fiber. Despite this promise, nothing has changed since then. The municipal council of Odelzhausen initially set up the tender for one year, in the hope of an early expansion by the most established telecommunications company in Germany. But when the municipal managers asked again in May 2024, they received the sobering answer that Telekom could not currently carry out the expansion.

The reasons for the standstill

As part of a meeting at the end of July 2024, it turned out that Telekom encounters a variety of difficulties. Mayor Trinkl reported that a representative of the company expressed concerns about lack of capacities. Telekom attributed the difficulties to inflation, delivery bottlenecks and a falling demand for fiber optic tariffs. These factors could therefore significantly impair the plans to implement the project.

"We are a little irritated by this situation." Said Trinkl, "because by involving Telekom, we forfeited funding that we might have received for our own implementation." The municipality has brought this unexpected turn into a difficult situation because it is now unable to re -initiate the procedure. A lawsuit against Telekom also does not seem to be possible, and those responsible learned that the implementation could possibly last until 2030.

In addition, Telekom tried to work with Altonetz GmbH, which has already successfully provided fiber optic connections in Odelzhausen in the past. However, the hopeful contact with the company was also not very promising, since there have been no concrete progress here either.

The failed perspectives

"You can't do anything and you will be shown by a company," said Trinkl frustrated in the municipal council. According to his assessment, the community would be much further if Telekom would not have involved. The time delays and uncertainties affect long -term plans. "Everything would have been understood and we would have started building in the coming year," he added, complaining to the missed opportunity to significantly improve the infrastructure.

whether the Odelzhaus citizens actually have to wait for Telekom or whether there are alternative solutions is currently uncertain. Further messages from the Dachau region will surely show in the coming weeks whether the pressure on Telekom will increase and whether their capacity problems can be resolved soon.
