Fibre internet in Prague by neighbourhood
Fast, stable internet matters as much for working from home as a quiet bedroom. Where in Prague fibre runs all the way into the building, where it doesn’t yet and how to check the connection before you sign a contract.
Fibre, cable, DSL: what the difference is
Fibre optic cable is the fastest and most stable. When it runs into the flat (FTTH) or the building (FTTB), it handles gigabit speeds both ways and doesn’t slow down in the evening when everyone is online. Cable TV and DSL over a phone line tend to be slower, especially for uploads, and wireless connections depend on the signal. For video calls and working from home, fibre to the building is the safest choice.

How to check the connection
- Before a viewing: look the address up in Check an address. You will see which technologies and speeds providers report there, and the 4G and 5G mobile signal by operator.
- At the viewing: ask what internet the current tenants or neighbours have, and look for a fibre socket in the flat or a distribution box in the basement.
- When renting: agree with the landlord whether you may set up your own connection. Fibre into a flat means a small job in the building, and in a block of flats the owner or the owners’ association (SVJ) approves it.
- When there is no fibre: cable or fixed wireless internet is usually a good substitute; mobile 5G is fine for everyday work but fluctuates when downloading large files and at peak times.
