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

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

As early as June 2024, the marketing of the fiber optic network was started in these selected funding areas, which includes Barnstorf, Brackstedt, Hehlingen, Velstove, Wendschott and the Sülfeld lock settlement. Dirk Hoffmann, project manager at WOBCOM, was optimistic about the demand: "Many residents have already chosen fiber fiber. We are very pleased and show that interest and the need are high." These comments emphasize how important access to fast internet is for the population and what opportunities result in the real estate values.

access to fast internet

Progress in fiber optic marketing is clearly noticeable. Technical employees of Netzkontor Nord GmbH have been active since August in order to personally talk to homeowners about the construction of their fiber optic connections. This shows the proactivity of the companies that have already made a bridge to the users who have chosen this service.

The city of Wolfsburg is investing in the planning and expansion of passive infrastructure, while Wobcom takes responsibility for the active operation of the network. This means that the residents not only have access to fast internet there, but can also count on reliable service. Mayor Dennis Weilmann emphasized: "I am pleased that the households in the gray spots will receive the chance of a fiber optic connection thanks to the funding and that we will get closer to our goal of completely coverage in Wolfsburg with the funded expansion." This is a significant step towards better digital access for all citizens.

For interested residents, it is important to take the corresponding steps until the end of November to secure the free connection. This includes the decision for a fiber optic connection, the signing and submission of a property usage agreement and the placing of a product order at WOBCOM. These steps are necessary because the company needs permission to open up on behalf of the city. The simple and flexible way to conclude these contracts online or personally makes access to this important service.

This initiative for free fiber optic connections not only represents great progress for Wolfsburg, but also offers an incentive for the resident population to perceive this opportunity and to benefit from the advantages of a modern internet connection. The development here shows how important it is that cities invest in digital infrastructure to increase the quality of life of its citizens.
