FTTH Experiences ordering/moving to this? e.g Swisscom Fibreglass

So we've been all hearing hype of the major roll-outs Swisscom and Electrical companies (EWZ) are doing to buildup the FTTH (Fibre to the Home)
I will be moving to a new apartment building that apparently has such infrastructure, but find limited information regarding the roll-out

But i'd like to know if anyone has actually such an internet connection here, TV, Phone quality, what experiences did you have ordering it, did it take long etc..

Am bumping this is as we are aware that we can get fifth (fibre to the home) but concerned about the 'hidden' cost of installation from the box to the apartment and monthly charges not quoted in the service fee...

My apartment got cabled for Swisscom FTTH

The installers fitted a FTTH socket on the wall.
When I asked about install costs, they said that it was all paid by Swisscom

So all I need to do, if I ever want Swisscom FTTH, is plug in the modem to the power and the FTTH socket on the wall. That's all.

My wife's sister just moved into a brand new apartment so wired up.
I spent an hour trying to get it to work...


Then a guy from swisscom was called in; after an hour the wireless internet worked and the fix net phone but only in the cupboard with the distribution panel - the TV did not work and none of the 6 distribution points in the apartment worked - the swisscom guy comes back on Tuesday...........
