Glass fiber expansion in Hollabrunn: promises remain unfulfilled

In the city of Hollabrunn, the expansion of the fiber optic network has caused many amazement and resentment. At the original presentation, the residents promised to provide a connection for each household within two years. However, reality looks different. As the city representative of Scharinger explains, only a small area within the city has actually been equipped with fiber optic. However, these work, which was only recently carried out, took more than six months, and the roads left behind the construction site were insufficiently repaired, which leads to rough "rumpel paths".

Another problem is the falling attractiveness of the fiber optic network due to the competition of the fast 5G network. Although the fast internet would be theoretically available, developments on site show that the edge communities in particular have hardly made any progress in fiber optic connection. According to Scharinger, the catastral communities are still untouched by the construction sites, which continues to slow the internet speed there.

current state of developments

The citizens in Hollabrunn are increasingly concerned about the slow progress of fiber optic installation. While other regions have already built extensive fiber optic networks, the residents seem to keep still and wait for the promises that have not yet been fulfilled. The question remains when the city administration and the responsible companies will finally take the necessary steps to fix the problems.

Scharinger also draws attention to the need to improve communication between the residents and the companies. Many feel calm in the dark and do not know when an actual completion can be expected. The hope of comprehensive fast internet is still available in the city of Hollabrunn, but the frustration is growing over the previous delays.
