Hey everyone, after local authorities have been inactive for about a decade, they’re planning to upgrade cables from ADSL to VDSL in the coming months. My goal is to switch to a faster connection—250 Mbps instead of the current 6 Mbps. Can I keep my existing ISP (T-Mobile) and still get this upgrade without canceling it? The situation gets tricky because my landlord’s brother has a contract with T-Mobile, making things even more complicated. I’m looking for a solution that avoids dealing with them and the confusion that comes with it. Would it be feasible? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

The alternative provider can install their own connections, which means it's feasible

In certain situations, VDSL systems may share the same cables as ADSL, so unless your building has no incoming cables, replacing them isn't necessary unless the ISP decides otherwise. There are various possibilities available. Several ISPs might operate on the same line, which means you'll only get a connection from one provider at a time—this is common with fiber optics in some areas, though I'm not entirely certain about copper connections. You should ask your ISP for more details.

That's something I'd rather skip talking about with the landlord, since it would take a long time to sort it out.

The cables are already installed, so I’m hoping we can proceed. We’ll get the response from the supplier. Thanks.
