Since Tuesday, November 28, the municipality of Ebersburg and some of the residents of Gersfeld and Dietershausen have been enjoying fast Internet connections. The second expansion cluster of the broadband project in the district of Fulda was put into operation with a symbolic press of the start button. Thanks to the laying of fiber optics, all households can now surf with at least 30 Mbit per second, 75 percent even with speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s. A total of 1,800 households are benefiting from the expansion. Clusters three to 13 will follow, with completion of the expansion planned for the end of 2018. The federal government is funding the expansion project in the district of Fulda with almost 10 million euros. Further information on the expansion can be found on the district’s regional development website.
