DSL Prime reports that Belgium telecom operator, Belgacom has signed up nearly one million video/VDSL customers, roughly 25% of homes. “Microsoft and Swisscom are getting the TelcoTV headlines in Europe, but Belgacom is far ahead with actual deployment, soon going wide across the country,” reports DSL Prime.
One thought on “Broadband Belgium”

A little hello from Belgium just to let you know that if there were 1 million Video/VDSL subscribers in Belgium I would certainly have noticed.
As I happen to be a subscriber of DSL Prime myself I went back and reread Dave Burstein’s last email and found the misleading headline: “Belgacom VDSL, video, 25% of homes”. Aha!
But then: “Belgacom just signed their millionth sub, a quarter of all homes in the country.”
Good old ADSL that is, not VDSL! Belgacom is also running a field trial on VDSL and video but on a small scale (200-500 homes I think), hence the confusion.
Pfff, you scared me, for a second I thought I had become a laggard on the technology adoption curve 🙂
