    Hello...
    Netia offers me the Internet through the so-called optical fiber. Photon.

    The problem is that the room in which I want to have an "socket" is at the 2nd end of the apartment, so this optical fiber will have to be "bent" in several places. To what extent such "bending" (e.g. the cable reaches the ceiling to the end of the wall and is wrapped on the 2nd wall, further to the end, drilling through and "descending" down the wall - i.e. such "standard" bends) is possible for the service did it work at all and the losses were as low as possible?

    First, I would like someone from Netia (some technician / fitter) to show up at my place and say what and how, but they will bake ...

    Does anyone have an idea about this and can advise what and how?
    Do you have any knowledge about this service in Netia (actual speed and failure rate)?
    Can the optical fiber be "inserted" into the wall, under the plaster?

    Optical fiber can be bent it cannot be broken. Obviously, you won't get 90 degrees.

    Let me answer you with a proverb: what does a horse care when a cart overturns? :D :D
    What do you worry about the operator - he is to provide you with the service with the parameters included in the contract. This installation "cable" has a diameter of about 1mm and if you choose a non-contrast color of the coating, you can stick it diagonally on the wall - only close up you will notice that there is "something" there. You can hardly see the wisely guided optical fiber installation.

    So in the apartment as I wrote, under the ceiling, through the wall and down and the bend at the bottom and to the right ... can you? Up to 90 degrees like the angles in the room?

    Let the optical fiber end in the least frequented place and then you will go down the skretka where you want and how you want

    But this optical fiber ends up in a "socket" that needs power.
    It works like a horse uphill and as I arranged it is oki. The only issue of these "kinks" of the optical fiber when running around the apartment under the walls.

    I once read (or heard) somewhere that 90 degrees is too much. Well, then what the hell does the fiber optic cable go to the apartment for, if you can not lead it anywhere in the apartment itself?

    A few years ago, in my previous apartment, I had this, the optical fiber was connected to the basement and to the tenants from the basement via an "ordinary" internet cable. There was a git!

    An "ordinary" Ethernet cable cannot be bent at an angle of 90 °, and so many installations in buildings work :D . I'm telling you, come on - look over the installers' shoulder, you'll learn a few "myths" :D .

    OK, thanks...
    Well, I know where I am standing. Thanks again to EVERYONE.

    Greetings

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the installation of optical fiber by Netia in an apartment, specifically addressing concerns about bending limits and in-wall placement. Users express that while optical fiber can be bent, it should not exceed 90 degrees to avoid signal loss. The fiber's diameter is approximately 1mm, allowing for discreet installation along walls. Concerns are raised about the practicality of routing the fiber through various angles in the apartment, particularly when connecting to a power socket. Users suggest that installers can provide guidance on optimal placement and bending techniques to ensure functionality and minimal signal degradation.
