My old contract for having internet connection this expired, and I am switching to Cosmote (again) as internet / telephony provider.
At 2026 they are new changes, a local technician will come in your place, he will deliver and install the NEW equipment and activate it.
speedport plus 2 Sercomm this is the latest offered equipment.
My new plan this will supports 100 VDSL, mostly because there is no yet activated any fiber to Home connections in my area.
While fibers they are getting installed everywhere this period of time.
Practically I am no suffering of any performance loss, nearest Fiber distribution box, this connects to my shop due 65M of new installed copper wire pair. :)
I am now counting hours about the new switch of internet provider.
And I am looking forwards to discover and share the news, if the latest speedport plus 2 Sercomm this is any better than the older speedport plus Sercomm which was not that perfect.

Is the new contract a good deal financially ?
-
24.90 Monthly
First three months for free.
My mobile phone this is at their network, I got as a bonus, time+data for 24 months.
By a single fee, both services functional. ;)
I got today SMS due their system, 6 of May appointment with their technician.

Best immediate benefit by switching from NOVA to Cosmote, the sound quality of their VOIP this is truly superior.
So far I thought that my economical telephone device, this is to blame.
I have ideal wiring in my area for VDSL up to 200 Mbps, the jump from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps, this did not changed my life.
Neither I was expecting sensing much of a difference other than the increase of upload speed from 5 to 10 Mbps.
Speedport plus 2 Sercomm router, this has identical slow boot time as the older Speedport plus.
Six minutes from boot until to activate telephony.
With the incoming technician, we are well aware of its other, he has come out of my shop countless times, so him to do a job for a customer.
The master junction box this is next to my shop.
Speedport plus 2 Sercomm, this loaded right away it latest available Firmware.
Firmware version 2.9.003.4
Firmware Build Date&Time 2025-09-23 18:58:08
Bootloader Version U-Boot 2019.07 (Aug 18 2022 - 03:22:35 +0000), Build: 5.04L.0
Hardware Type & Version 02/F0
The default gateway, this was different from the other router.
I needed 5 minutes of time so to understand of what is wrong.
And another 5 minutes, so I to log-in at the new router, and to configure basic details.
In summary.
Excellent sound quality at VOIP
10 minutes of IT level annoyances
Continuation of having a good experience with my line.
Mobile phone operation at no costs for two years. ;)
Speedport plus 2 Sercomm this is black, an true dust magnet. :P
