Odido’s fibre optic cable means stable, high-speed Internet. And it’s surprisingly affordable. Read here what fiber optic cable can do for you, and why switching is such a good idea.
We’re putting more and more demands on the Internet. Fiber optic cable can easily handle this growing data traffic and everyone can use it. Whether you live alone and occasionally browse the Internet and stream music or films, or whether you share your home with others who want to game, study, work or do business, at the same time. Fiber optic cable is durable and much less prone to disruptions than the old networks for Internet and TV. In other words, it’s very stable. Because every home has its own connection, your speed won’t drop if your neighbors are online too.
In the Netherlands, you used to be able to choose between two networks for Internet: the copper network (DSL) and the cable network (coax). Those networks have been in the ground for years. Recently, much of it has been replaced by fiber optic cable, but usually not the last section to your house. You can tell that by the speed and stability. Only with a 100% fiber optic network, like Odido’s, can you download and upload just as quickly. And that’s nice.
Fiber optic cable consists of extremely thin fibers of two types of glass. Light signals send digital information through them. Whether you’re gaming, streaming or meeting digitally, all the data is transmitted by a laser beam that switches on and off very quickly. It’s a bit like sending Morse code with a flashlight. So fiber optic Internet is literally as fast as light.
We think that fiber optic cable should be available to everyone. That’s why we’re offering it to as many addresses as possible in the Netherlands. To do this, we’re working with partners and laying a fiber optic network with Open Dutch Fiber. However, building a network like this is not something you do overnight. The streets have to be dug up one by one in consultation with the municipality. To be honest, it takes some time.
We’re really pleased to hear that. And it’s a smart choice. You can get a subscription for as little as €35 per month (100 Mbit/s). You’ll also get a discount for the first few months and our technician will only leave when it all works properly. You can also opt for extras such as TV or landline. And if there’s already a mobile subscription with Odido or Ben at your address, you can sign it up for “Klantenvoordeel” and get monthly discounts.
With Odido TV, there’s more than enough for you to watch: 64 channels, almost all in HD. You can watch the sports channel ESPN for free and enjoy international football. And there are useful functions such as Catch-up, Pause, See From Start and much more to help you get the most out of Odido TV. You can also turn additional packages on and off. For example, there’s our International package with CNBC Europe, CNN Turk, Rai Uno and 2M Maroc. Which is really great. Read more > https://www.odido.nl/tv
