What is Bloknet and how did it come about?
Bloknet was created as an answer to a question that developers and property managers of modern residential complexes are asking with increasing frequency: how to provide residents with high-quality internet connectivity that matches the building's standard, not the lowest common denominator of available retail offers? The VBLOKU residential complex on Peroutkova Street in Prague 5 is a modern residential project with an emphasis on build quality and amenities. For New Telekom, this was an opportunity to apply exactly what we normally do for corporate customers in office buildings across Prague — complete design, construction, and operation of optical network infrastructure within a building — this time for residential use. The project was designed with a clear principle: each apartment gets its own optical fiber. No shared copper section, no aggregation on the last segment, no technological compromise compared to what a corporate customer receives in an office building in 2026.How was the optical network in VBLOKU technically built?
Backbone FTTH infrastructure from basement to each apartment
The Bloknet network in the VBLOKU complex in Prague 5 is built as a classic star FTTH topology — a backbone optical cable from the technical room in the building's basement, vertical riser distribution in installation shafts, and a dedicated fiber pair run to each apartment. No section of the route is shared between multiple residential units. The active infrastructure in the central node is connected to the New Telekom backbone network — the same infrastructure built on Juniper technology through which we deliver guaranteed B2B internet to corporate customers across Prague. Direct access to NIX.CZ (Neutral Internet eXchange in Prague) ensures low latency to Czech servers and content without unnecessary transit hops.Activation within 48 hours — no construction work required
Because the complete optical infrastructure is pre-installed in the building — the fiber is brought to the apartment unit even before the resident moves in — activating a new connection requires no construction work or drilling. A Bloknet technician connects the optical fiber in the apartment to the terminating equipment (optical modem), and the connection is live. The entire process from order to active connection typically takes within 48 hours.What do VBLOKU residents specifically get?
Residents of the VBLOKU complex on Peroutkova Street in Prague 5 have access to two optical internet tariffs: myInternet100 — symmetrical optical connection 100/100 Mbit/s, monthly price 450 CZK with a 12-month commitment (activation 499 CZK) or without commitment (activation 1,499 CZK). Optical modem rental is available for 70 CZK per month. myInternet200 — symmetrical optical connection 200/200 Mbit/s, monthly price 550 CZK with a 12-month commitment (activation 499 CZK) or without commitment (activation 1,499 CZK). This is the recommended tariff for households with two or more users, 4K video streaming, or working from home. Both connections share key features that are standard in the New Telekom network:- Symmetrical speed — download and upload are identical, without the asymmetry typical of retail cable or VDSL
- No FUP — no data caps, no throttling after exceeding data volume
- Optical fiber to the apartment — no copper section on the last mile
- Technical support and dispatch of a qualified technician if needed
- Activation within 48 hours from order
Why is New Telekom's approach to residential projects different?
New Telekom has specialized for over 24 years primarily in B2B telecommunications services — corporate internet, MPLS VPN, SD-WAN, CloudConnect, and data connections for businesses of all sizes in Prague and abroad. It is precisely this experience that distinguishes the Bloknet project from the approach of typical residential ISPs. When New Telekom builds an optical network in a residential complex, it proceeds the same way as when designing a network for an office complex in Prague 4 or Prague 5: site survey, star topology design without shared segments, selection of active equipment, certification measurement of each optical link, and handover with documentation. The result is not a network designed on the edge of cost savings, but a network designed for trouble-free operation. For developers and property managers of residential complexes in Prague, New Telekom offers cooperation from the building planning phase — optical infrastructure is designed and built during construction, not retrofitted later. We do not block other operators' access to the building: Bloknet operates as an open network, and the developer or HOA (Homeowners Association) is not bound by exclusivity.What is the Bloknet model for developers in Prague?
The VBLOKU project on Peroutkova Street in Prague 5 is one of the realized examples of cooperation between New Telekom and a developer during the construction of a residential project. The model works like this: During construction, the New Telekom team works with the designer and general contractor to embed the optical backbone infrastructure — cable routes, installation shafts, technical room for active equipment. Passive infrastructure costs are part of the construction, not a later retrofit. After final approval, New Telekom / Blok Net s.r.o. takes over operation of the active part of the network and provides connections for individual residential units based on residents' individual orders. The building manager or HOA has no worries about managing the network infrastructure. Ongoing, the New Telekom team ensures monitoring, maintenance, and any network capacity expansions — just as for corporate customers, with 24/7 technical support.
