Fiber Luxembourg: what internet speed do you really need?
Today, everything happens online: video meetings, online gaming, 4K streaming and even smart homes. But what speed should you choose ...
In Luxembourg, the race for **ultra-fast broadband** is on. Everyone is talking about "fibre", but two technologies coexist: coaxial fibre and optical fibre (FTTH).
With Eltrona, you can now access an ultra-fast connection of up to 1 Gbit/s thanks to coaxial fibre. This hybrid technology combines a fibre optic network to the neighbourhood with coaxial cable for the last few metres to your home. The result is a smooth and reliable user experience, tailored for gaming, teleworking and streaming.
So, coaxial or optical: which solution is best suited to your needs in Luxembourg?
Fibre in Luxembourg: a country ahead of the curve
A connected region
Luxembourg is one of the most advanced European countries in terms of connectivity. According to the ILR (2023), more than 75% of households already enjoy speeds of over 100 Mbit/s. The national target is 100% ultra-fast broadband coverage by 2025.
Two approaches to fibre
- Optical fibre: the optical cable reaches your box.
- Coaxial fibre: fibre optics serve your neighbourhood, and coaxial cable provides the final segment to your home.
👉 With Eltrona, coaxial fibre allows you to immediately enjoy ultra-fast internet speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s, without having to wait for FTTH to be rolled out everywhere.
Coaxial fibre vs optical fibre: a clear comparison
1. Flow rates
- Coaxial fibre (Eltrona): up to 1 Gbit/s download speed and several hundred Mbit/s upload speed.
- Optical fibre: up to 1 Gbit/s symmetrical.
⚡ In practical terms: for everyday use, the performance of Eltrona coaxial fibre rivals that of FTTH.
2. Stability
