Hi, we have a small house in the mountains where we often go in the summer to cool off, however since it's quite old it isn't connected to any kind of cable for internet or TV, and since it is slightly remote mobile data doesn't reach. We are trying to find a way to get internet to work. On this website that shows you if an area is covered by the DSL network, we find that our house is in a yellow region, meaning there is a small amount of coverage, in fact some of the nerby houses can get internet. So we wondering if we could place a cable to connect our house to this network, and if so who should we request to do it.
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thank you

Edit: proper link

  1. Starlink might be a good solution for you since you are in a remote area.

  2. Get satellite or 4g/5g connection. If remote costs to connect will be prohibitive and the Dsl connection is going to be very slow in comparison. There is an offer at the moment where you get the starlink device for free if you take a 12 Month subscription. (might apply or not depending on localisation) 

  3. Big question is if your house is eligible for the “Grundversorgung” according to FMG/FDV law. In this case Swisscom is required to run a telco cable into your house – getting the line to your house is then for free; the only cost is your building entry point and the electrician for the termination (wall box / connection box).

    Sometimes Swisscom will use a wireless connection if they can’t directly connect your house by wire.

    Be aware that the Grundversorgungs-Speed is only 10/1 respectively 80/8 mbit/s (“new” connection since 2024).
