# The expected activation date of your fiber internet for a new fiber connection.

The expected activation date of your fiber internet for a new fiber connection depends on several network elements.

### In your home or office

A [fiber socket](https://www.fastfiber.be/en/support/what-is-a-fiber-socket/) (installed by your fiber network provider) and a [fiber modem](https://www.fastfiber.be/en/support/what-is-a-fiber-modem-ont/) (installed by Proximus) need to be placed in your home or office.

### In your neighborhood

In your neighborhood, Proximus must install the fiber network and connect it to the local fiber central (OLT). This central is then connected to the national network.

**Once we are informed that these steps have been completed, we will schedule an activation date for you as soon as possible.** Other operators cannot activate your line faster than FASTfiber, as all operators use the same fiber network.
