TeliaSonera Sweden has announced major investments to upgrade its fixed broadband network over a five-year period. The initiative will involve between 1.5 to 2 million households and enterprises all over Sweden. Different technologies will be used to upgrade the network, depending on the geographic circumstances and the market's needs. Fibre-based connections of up to 100 Mbps or higher and VDSL2 with speeds between 30-70 Mbps over the copper network will be used for upgrading the network. In some cases, Telia might collaborate with external parties, such as municipalities, building owners and housing co-operatives. The broadband initiative will also involve the development of new products and services.
