The objective of this committee is to help Communication Service Providers avoid churn & create revenue opportunities through the provision of enhanced user experience.

While more and more households have access to full-fibre network, it becomes crucial to avoid home connectivity becoming a bottle neck and that the new gigabit services can efficiently reach end user devices without degradation of speed or performance.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee addresses the following questions:

  • how to provide, manage and monitor ‘Quality of Experience’ for the end-user
  • how to monetise value-added services and reduce costs
  • how to leverage standards and provide pointers to industry fora

You can expect multiple initiatives from this dynamic group, such as the In-Home Broadband Excellence Guide, available for every member of the FTTH Council Europe and sold to non-members at a price of €36 inc. VAT* una tantum, intended to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’ and optimize their business strategies to reap the benefits of fibre-based connectivity delivered to end-users' premises.

The In-Home Broadband Excellence committee is also very much engaged in the organisation of workshops at the annual FTTH Conference, as well webinars and other communications.

Panel 18 - The Journey from HFC to Full Fibre

The shift from HFC to full fibre is no longer a question of if, but how fast and how efficiently it can be done.

With insights from Suzanne Tracy (SIRO), Krzysztof Sidor (P.S.O.), Philip Cauwel (Wyre), Christian Schläpfer (Swiss Fiber Co), and Monika Nowak-Toporowicz (Virgin Media Ireland), the discussion will dive into migration strategies, operational challenges, and the investment decisions shaping this critical transformation.

From managing legacy assets and minimising disruption to unlocking the full potential of fibre, this session will examine what it takes to move from hybrid networks to future-proof connectivity
