Fiber in Luxembourg: coaxial or optical — which internet is best for you?

In Luxembourg, the race for ultra high-speed internet is on. Everyone talks about “fiber,” but in reality, two technologies coexist: coaxial fiber and optical fiber (FTTH).

With Eltrona, you can already access an ultra-fast connection up to 1 Gbit/s thanks to coaxial fiber. This hybrid technology combines a fiber optic network up to your neighborhood and a coaxial cable for the last meters into your home. The result: a smooth, reliable user experience — perfect for gaming, remote work, and streaming.

So, coaxial or optical: which solution best fits your needs in Luxembourg?

Fiber in Luxembourg: a country ahead of the curve

A connected nation

Luxembourg is one of Europe’s most advanced countries when it comes to connectivity. According to the ILR (2023), over 75% of households already enjoy speeds above 100 Mbit/s. The national goal: 100% ultra high-speed coverage by 2025.

Two approaches to fiber

Optical fiber (FTTH): the fiber optic cable runs directly to your box.
Coaxial fiber: fiber reaches your neighborhood, and a coaxial cable completes the last stretch into your home.

👉 With Eltrona, coaxial fiber lets you benefit from ultra-fast internet up to 1 Gbit/s today — without waiting for FTTH to reach every home.
