TEL AVIV: Israel's Bezeq<\/a> said on Tuesday it was boosting fibre optic<\/a> network speeds to up to 2.5 gigabit per second (Gbps) from 1 Gbps to win customers, after a late entry in ultra fast internet.
Broadband internet speeds in the range of 2.5 Gbps are not widely available globally, although some operators have done trials and offer some customers speeds of 10 Gbps.
\"The most important thing for us is for the first time to beat the competitors because the competition started deploying fibre many years ago. We haven't been able to do that because of regulation,\" Bezeq Chief Executive David Mizrahi said.
As Israel's largest telecoms provider and a one-time government monopoly, Bezeq had been locked in a long battle with the regulator over terms of its fibre deployment.
Cellcom and Partner Communications<\/a>, Israel's two largest mobile phone operators, capitalized on the dispute and began their own fibre rollouts, reaching hundreds of thousands of households.
Cellcom and Partner said they plan to offer faster speeds but did not give timetables.
Mizrahi said Bezeq's fibre network, which it began to deploy in March, now extends to 680,000 households and will reach 1 million by the end of 2021.
Bezeq has five years to hit 2 million homes and Mizrahi believes it will do so much quicker, although the pace will slow as it connects single homes in rural areas.
Telecom operators have looked to services such as fibre optics to boost revenue and profit given fierce competition in mobile and TV.
\"It could take time to see it in revenues because the take up is much lower than the cost of deployment,\" Mizrahi told Reuters after a news conference.
\"Maybe next year or the year after it will be significant numbers,\" he added. (Reporting by Steven Scheer; Additional reporting by Supantha Mukherjee in Stockholm; Editing by Alexander Smith)

特拉维夫,以色列的Bezeq周二表示,这是提高光纤网络速度2.5吉比特每秒(Gbps) 1 Gbps赢得客户,后晚进入超快速互联网。
宽带互联网的速度在2.5 Gbps的范围并不广泛使用在全球范围内,尽管一些运营商所做的试验,并提供一些客户10 Gbps的速度。
“对我们来说最重要的事情是打败竞争对手,因为第一次竞争多年前开始部署纤维。我们没能做到因为监管,”Mizrahi Bezeq首席执行官大卫说。
以色列最大的电信供应商和一次性政府垄断,Bezeq一直锁定在与监管机构就作了长期斗争的纤维部署。
Cellcom和合作伙伴沟通以色列最大的两家移动电话运营商利用争端,开始自己的糊涂事,纤维达到成千上万的家庭。
Cellcom和伙伴说他们计划提供更快的速度,但没有给出时间表。
Mizrahi说Bezeq的光纤网络,它在3月开始部署,现在扩展到680000户,2021年底将达到100万。
Mizrahi Bezeq已经五年达到200万家,认为它将更快,尽管速度将放缓,因为它连接单一家庭在农村地区。
电信运营商寻求服务,如光纤来提高收入和利润给手机和电视竞争激烈。
“这可能花时间在收入,因为看到它占用的成本远低于部署,“Mizrahi路透社在新闻发布会上说。乐动扑克
“也许明年或后年将大量,”他补充道。(由史蒂文·舍尔报告;额外的报告由Supantha慕克吉在斯德哥尔摩;编辑亚历山大·史密斯)
