Upload speed is increasingly important

More speed unlocks new options for you when listening to music, watching films, shopping online or simply surfing. And, what is more, customers' needs are changing. For instance, until recently, many Swiss saved their digital holiday photos on their home computer. Those who wanted to play it safe would also copy the data to an external hard disk. These days, more and more amateur photographers use online services such as Swisscom myCloud, Google Photos or Apple iCloud - and they need a fast Internet speed to upload their data.

Over recent years, Swisscom has worked intensively with a mix of different technologies to drive forward network expansion. Thanks to steady expansion, Swisscom can now offer many customers improved upload speeds. The changes will take effect in two phases from 1 October and 17 October (see table).

Prices remain the same for most subscriptions

Customers will benefit automatically from the improvements to service - and many will even continue to pay the same price. The monthly charge for inOne home S and Vivo XS subscriptions will increase by five or six CHF per month respectively. The new price will take effect in December 2018, with customers enjoying the new speeds for the old price during October and November.

The service and price adjustments do not apply to any inOne home Internet S or Vivo XS customers who are not able to take advantage of a real-terms improvement in speed. In addition, all customers affected by the price increase can keep their old subscription at the previous price if they notify us of this wish by 25 November 2018, either by completing the form on the website www.swisscom.ch/stay, visiting a Shop or calling the hotline on 0800 800 800.
