Fixed network Speed evolution in Mbps 2013 to >2018

Launch of Dynamic Line Management

Launched Q1 2013

DLM monitors line stability and dynamically applies max possible speed when a line is sufficiently stable

Preparation for Vectoring roll-out

Planned Q1 2014

Vectoring cancels crosstalk in the copper cables resulting in a significant bit rate increase of copper lines

• To up-to-50 Mbps speeds – One third of our VDSL2 lines already receives a 50 Mbps speed

• Start of Field Trial – Large technical field trial started to prepare Vectoring for massive roll-out

• 30% higher average speed experience – Thanks to DLM, the average speed experience increased with 30%

• Strong regulatory framework was negotiated, disentangling all blocking points

Next step: DLM on Vectoring Slide 23
