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 8 - Two Markets, Two Paths: Fibre Lessons from Germany & Italy

Germany and Italy represent two very different approaches to fibre deployment in Europe—shaped by distinct market structures, regulatory environments, and investment models. Understanding these differences is essential for anyone navigating fibre strategy at scale.

This panel will compare the evolution of both markets, examining how policy choices, competitive dynamics, and commercial models have influenced rollout speed, coverage, and adoption. It will highlight what has driven success, where challenges remain, and why outcomes have diverged despite similar long-term connectivity goals.

With a strong focus on practical, transferable lessons, the discussion will explore how insights from Germany and Italy can inform decision-making in other European fibre markets—covering implications for operators, investors, and policymakers looking to accelerate sustainable full-fibre growth.
