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 17 - ESG and Fibre investment strategies

As sustainability moves from ambition to obligation, fibre investment strategies are under pressure to deliver not just returns — but real ESG impact.

At FTTH Conference 2026, this panel brings together leading voices from finance, telecom, and policy to explore how environmental, social, and governance priorities are reshaping fibre investment decisions.

Featuring Barbara Tonarelli (FTTH Council Europe), Felix Heon (Antin Infrastructure Partners), Laura Fernández Cavas (Telefónica Group), Amanda Glancy (SIRO), and Mirko Jerrentrup (Deutsche GigaNetz), the discussion will examine how ESG criteria influence funding, risk assessment, and long-term value creation in fibre networks.

From sustainable finance and regulatory expectations to balancing growth with responsibility, this session asks a critical question: how do you build networks that are both future-proof and future-responsible?


Speakers:

  • Cian OMahony - Head of Operations at SIRO
  • Felix Heon - Head of Sustainability at Antin Infrastructure Partners
  • Laura Fernández Cavas - Head of Sustainable Finance at Telefónica
  • Mirko Jerrentrup - CFO at Deutsche GigaNetz GmbH
  • Moderated by Barbara Tonarelli - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Chair of the FTTH Council Europe
