Employee wants fiber installed for home work.
In NL many addresses are connected by KPN or Open Dutch Fiber. Activation takes 4-8 weeks from request, longer if the street is not yet trenched. Do not plan tight deadlines.

Try this first
- Postcode check on the relevant network site (klantnaarglasvezel.nl is a good independent one).
- Order via a provider (XS4ALL, Freedom, Online.nl, KPN), not directly via the network operator.
- If the employer reimburses the monthly bill, write it down, it has tax implications (see next entry).
- Plan an install date when someone is home, usually a 4-hour window so no morning standups.
When to bring us in
Address has no fiber prospect short-term: 4G/5G fixed internet is a good interim, KPN and T-Mobile offer it with unlimited data.
