The fiber installation in three steps

  1. After obtaining approval from the municipality, Proximus opens trenches in the streets to roll out the fiber network under the sidewalks or along the front side of houses. No action is required from you. You'll be informed by letter one to two weeks prior to the works.

    In some municipalities, these works are carried out by partners such as Fiberklaar or Unifiber.

    In the case of apartment buildings, we also check in with the building manager or the co-owners' association at this stage about fitting out the common areas (technical rooms, floors, etc.) with fiber.

Fiber is the technology of the future that allows you to transmit data over long distances at the speed of light.

Unlike most other operators, Proximus installs fiber all the way to the heart of your home. This guarantees you the best possible performance, today and tomorrow.

Fiber has many advantages. Here are the most important ones:

  • Ultra-fast, stable Internet: no more interruptions or slowdowns while working from home, watching videos and playing online, no matter how many people or devices are connected at the same time.
  • Superior image quality: fiber is the only technology capable of delivering a 4k image. So no detail will escape you.
  • Unequaled download speed: the fiber network allows you to reach much higher speeds than the copper network, up to 1 Gbps in download and 200 Mbps in upload.

As a tenant, all you have to do is submit your request to Proximus. The landlord cannot oppose the choice of operator, nor the installation of fiber at the request of the tenant. We nevertheless advise you to inform the landlord.

In a building in co-ownership, all owners will normally have already been notified of the arrival of fiber in the building through the general assembly or by the syndic/building manager.
