Hello, I’m currently evaluating the purchase of a house in a new development in a small municipality in the canton of Fribourg that doesn’t have fibre yet. FTTH FR (the company rolling out fibre across the canton) has nothing planned for 2026–2027, and no guarantees either for 2028 and beyond. In short, it’s pretty unclear. My issue: fibre is a non-negotiable condition for me, and I can’t wait until the end of construction to get an answer. I’ve reached out to Swisscom’s construction department to ask whether, in the context of a new build, they can pull fibre all the way inside the house (FTTH) independently of the municipal rollout. Apparently, they may be able to run fiber-optic cable from the DSLAM to the new building. What I’d like to know: has anyone here built or bought a new house in an area without fibre coverage, and did Swisscom still run the cable to your home? Did you register the project through ConnectNow or through some other channel? Also: as a potential buyer (not the developer or builder), do you know whether it’s possible to open a project on ConnectNow yourself, or is that reserved for the project owner/developer? Thanks in advance for any input, it would really help me get a clearer picture! submitted by /u/Any-Refrigerator-892
