Deutsche Telekom Expands Fiber-Optic Network in Gräfenhainichen and Zschornewitz
Deutsche Telekom is currently expanding its fiber-optic network in the towns of Gräfenhainichen and Zschornewitz. This expansion aims to bring faster and more reliable internet connections to residents and businesses in these areas.
Cost
The exact total investment amount for the expansion in these towns has not been publicly detailed. However, Deutsche Telekom’s fiber expansions typically involve multi-million euro investments, depending on the regional scope. Local announcements may provide estimates, but these vary by area.
For residents, fiber installation is typically free if they opt for Telekom’s plans during the rollout phase. However, this can vary based on local agreements.
Installation Process
Telekom installs fiber-optic cables directly to homes and businesses (Fiber to the Home, FTTH). The construction process involves laying underground fiber lines, often following streets and then connecting to each building. The completion usually takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the number of households and infrastructure complexities.
During construction, residents may experience short interruptions of existing internet or telephone services, but Telekom typically informs residents in advance.
Registration and Sign-up Methods
Residents can register their interest or sign up for fiber internet service through Telekom’s official website dedicated to local fiber rollout projects. Alternatively, they can visit Telekom customer centers, call their customer service hotline, or participate in local events organized to explain the fiber deployment and sign-up process.
Telekom often has a threshold of minimum interested customers in a given area to initiate the physical rollout, so early registration helps speed the rollout. Once fiber is available in the area, customers receive detailed installation appointments and information on service packages.
Consultation Days
Deutsche Telekom is hosting two glass fiber information days for citizens and entrepreneurs in Graefenhainichen and Zschornewitz on August 12, 2025, and August 19, 2025, at the town hall of Graefenhainichen. Experts from Telekom will be available to answer questions about glass fiber, including cost, installation, and aesthetic impact.
