What to know about the DSL shutdown in Pinneberg

The topic of DSL and the planned shutdown has caused a lot of excitement in recent months. On this page, we provide you with the facts and show why switching to fiber internet soon can make sense for you.

FIRST THINGS first: Yes, it's true. The shutdown of THE DSL technology in Germany is a done deal and will also affect Pinneberg.

Why is DSL being shut down?

Traditional internet via DSL relies on old copper lines, originally developed solely for telephone service. This technology is now outdated in many regions and is generally considered slower, less efficient, and more prone to interference than modern fiber optic solutions.

Since operating both networks in parallel is not practical, the DSL/copper network is being shut down.

When will DSL be shut down?

DSL is being phased out gradually in Germany. A specific date has not yet been set, but the German government aims to achieve nationwide fiber optic coverage by 2030. Furthermore, the shutdown will not occur simultaneously across the country, but rather gradually in different regions as fiber optic connections become available.

You will therefore have ample time to switch and will not be left without a connection.

What should you do now?

Even though there's still some time, switching to fiber internet is already worthwhile.

This way, you can benefit from future-proof technology, higher speeds, and better performance to meet the increasing demands of the internet. We'll show you exactly how this can work on this page.
