Fiber Optic Installer Warns of Risks with DIGI Infrastructure

A fiber optic installer for DIGI, Joselo, has issued a warning on social media regarding the company’s infrastructure, emphasizing that DIGI does not share its network with other companies.

DIGI Maintains Independent Fiber Infrastructure

Joselo, a technician installing fiber optic cables for DIGI, posted a TikTok video stating, "Caution, DIGI does not share infrastructure with any company, and we know it." He clarified that the physical infrastructure – including cables, distribution boxes, and connectors – belongs solely to DIGI and should not be tampered with by other companies.

Potential Issues from Improper Intervention

Improper handling of fiber optic networks can lead to significant problems, such as internet outages, unexpected disruptions, difficult-to-locate faults, or the need for technicians to return to correct errors. Even a single intervention can affect other customers relying on the same distribution box.

Sharing Coverage Doesn't Equal Shared Infrastructure

While some telecom operators utilize networks owned by others through commercial agreements, this doesn’t imply shared physical infrastructure or the ability for any technician to intervene in any installation. The installer stresses the distinction between utilizing a network for service and manipulating the underlying cabling and equipment.

Importance of Precise Maintenance

Maintaining a stable connection requires precise maintenance of a complex infrastructure. Any unauthorized intervention can result in service disruptions.
