Movistar has launched its FTTR (Fiber to the Room) service, a significant advance in connectivity designed to extend high-speed coverage throughout the home. This launch validates a truth that we have extensively explained in this blog and our YouTube channel: that whole-home WiFi is inefficient. Movistar thus acknowledges the limitations of conventional WiFi systems and extenders or mesh networks, aligning with Actelser's vision of the superiority of point-to-point wired connections with local WiFi emitters.
Movistar's FTTR fiber, while promising benefits similar to Plastic Optical Fiber (POF), involves an initial cost of 120 euros and a monthly fee of 9.90 euros, totaling 357.6 euros over two years, with a mandatory 24-month commitment and penalties for early cancellation.
In contrast, Actelser's basic economical POF KIT, at 216 euros, including a Vonets mini router, offers a unique solution with no monthly fees. Even adding an average installation cost of 50 euros, the total of 266 euros is much more economical than Movistar's proposal, also offering the freedom to choose any operator and take advantage of market offers.
Actelser not only matches the performance at a more accessible cost but also provides more freedom of choice while maintaining service quality. We celebrate that Movistar finally recognizes the challenge of limited WiFi connectivity. Is this really advancing the future of connectivity? We will closely follow the deployment of this new technology.
