Glass fiber expansion in Hollabrunn: City Councilor Scharinger expresses resentment about delays

The citizens of Hollabrunn continue to wait longing for the connection to the fiber optic network, but hope for fast internet has received another dampers. The expansion, which was originally supposed to be completed in less than two years, is again delayed what causes resentment in the city.

This statement illustrates the frustration of the inadequate progress in the construction work carried out by Speed Connect Austria. They had hoped for more and less problems.

causes of the delay

The municipality obviously has difficulty complying with the given schedule. According to Joachim Otte, Managing Director of Speed Connect and even Hollabrunner, the delays were caused primarily by the weather conditions in autumn 2023. Already in the summer there were first signs that the desired period could not be met. The city is littered with construction sites that are supposed to indicate progress, but instead of bringing a relief for the citizens, they only lead to growing worries.

Overall, the expansion of the fiber optic network is of great importance for the city. Fast internet is not only considered essential for private households, but also for the economic development of the region. However, these positive effects through the constant delays seem to be back into the background. A comprehensive fiber optic network would have been a significant achievement for Hollabrunn, but the constant setbacks throw a shadow on the future of digital infrastructure.

The delays have a clear impact on the expectations of the residents, which on a timely connection to the modern communication network. A comprehensive discussion about the situation is expected in the coming days, in which further information about the challenges and the progress of the work is expected.
