Com Hem launches 1Gbps internet

Swedish cable operator Com Hem has begun rolling out a new 1Gbps internet service.

The move follows the Swedish operator’s launch of a 500Mbps service last year, which now reaches about 1.4 million households across the country.

The 1Gbps service will be made available across Com Hem’s fibre network progressively, as well as a number of open networks where Com Hem also offers its services.

The company said it would not be a mass product in the near term but would cater to customers with a need for a very high-speed service.

About 1.82 million Swedish households are connected to Com Hem’s network.
