Free fiber optic connection until November: How to secure your chance!

Wolfsburg has exciting news for its residents. As part of a special funding program, the city and WOBCOM GmbH have created the opportunity for people in certain areas to receive a free connection to the fiber optic network until November 30, 2024. This initiative aims to secure the city's digital future and meet the interests of people in the "gray areas".

Marketing of the fiber optic network began in June 2024 in these selected funding areas, which include Barnstorf, Brackstedt, Hehlingen, Velstove, Wendschott and the Sülfelder Schleusensiedlung. Dirk Hoffmann, project manager at WOBCOM, was optimistic about the demand: "Many residents have already decided on fiber optics. We are very pleased about this and shows that the interest and need are high." These comments highlight how important access to high-speed internet is for the population and the opportunities this creates for property values.

Access to fast internet

The progress in fiber optic marketing is clearly noticeable. Since August, technical employees at netzkontor nord GmbH have been active in personally speaking to homeowners about the construction of their fiber optic connections. This shows the proactivity of the companies that are already building a bridge to the users who have chosen this service.

The city of Wolfsburg is investing in the planning and expansion of the passive infrastructure, while WOBCOM takes responsibility for the active operation of the network. This means that residents there not only have access to high-speed internet, but can also count on reliable service. Mayor Dennis Weilmann emphasized: “I am pleased that households in the gray areas have the chance of a fiber optic connection thanks to the funding and that the funded expansion will bring us closer to our goal of complete coverage in Wolfsburg.” This is a significant step towards better digital access for all citizens.

It is important for interested residents to take the appropriate steps by the end of November to secure the free connection. This includes deciding on a fiber optic connection, signing and submitting a property use agreement and placing a product order with WOBCOM. These steps are necessary because the company needs permission to develop on behalf of the city. The easy and flexible option to conclude these contracts online or in person makes access to this important service easier.

Developments here show how important it is for cities to invest in digital infrastructure to improve the quality of life of their citizens.
