Germany is switching off DSL internet – when will my connection be shut down?. As of: February 8, 2024, 2:27 p.m By: Marcus Giebel CommentsPressSplit Copper networks are to be switched off in Germany.

However, only when fiber optics are available to all citizens - there is a timetable for this. By 2030, all citizens and companies should be able to benefit from modern fiber optic networks. France and Sweden are named in the gigabit strategy, where the transition to the fiber optic network and the shutdown of the copper networks are already further advanced.
