Sunrise reports it has more than doubled the speed of its hybrid fibre-coaxial cable network.

“Fast and reliable Internet is a basic need, not only in cities, but throughout Switzerland. That’s why we’re more than doubling the Internet speed on our hybrid fibre-coaxial cable network, to which around 80 per cent of Swiss households are connected. Our customers will benefit from significantly higher performance, at no extra cost. This puts us a big step ahead of the competition and means we can continue driving digital development forward with our connectivity – in all regions of Switzerland,” commented André Krause, CEO of Sunrise.

Over the last two years, the Sunrise landline-data volume has increased by about 30 per cent. Growth was twice as high in 2023 compared to 2022.

Sunrise offers a mixture of technologies (copper, HFC, fibre optics, 5G) through its own networks and through access to partner networks. Sunrise is the only provider to supply over 95 per cent of Swiss households with landline broadband services of 1 Gbit/s (including 5G fixed wireless access). By increasing Internet speeds from 1 Gbit/s to 2.5 Gbit/s on the HFC network for around 80 per cent of Swiss households, Sunrise says it is further expanding its competitive edge as a provider.

In particular, existing customers connected to the HFC network, who are currently limited to 1 Gbit/s, will enjoy a significantly improved Internet experience without having to pay more for their subscription. To ensure Sunrise Internet customers can benefit from high-speed Internet performance seamlessly in every corner of their home via a superfast and stable Wi-Fi connection, they will receive a Smart Wi-Fi pod free of charge if required, including support from a team of Wi-Fi experts, who will provide support for any issues related to connectivity in the home.
