With a contract term of 24 months, residential customers pay an average monthly price of 52.40 euros.
Expansion in "numerous pilot regions
Deutsche GigaNetz, like Deutsche Telekom, is concentrating on the expansion of the Telekom especially in regions with a high population density. The expansion will begin "this summer in several municipalities in Hesse and Baden-Württemberg." The company has not yet specified the period in which the investment sum is to be spent. This will be determined primarily by the available self-sufficient, non-subsidized regions. In principle, however, the company would also take on subsidized contracts in structurally weak areas, for example.
Price competition for FTTH
The slow expansion of fiber optics in Germany is now creating lively competition. This not only improves availability, but also creates price competition for the previously very expensive FTTH connections, which makes fiber optics interesting for the masses as well.
Reinhard Frank, district administrator from the Main-Tauber district told the Frankish NewsWe are pleased that three companies are now showing interest in the commercial expansion. In the meantime, Breitbandversorgung Deutschland, Deutsche Glasfaser and the company Deutsche Giganetz have expressed their interest."
Deutsche GigaNetz's competitors include Deutsche Telekom, which has announced the "Number one in fiber optics" to become, especially Telefónica. Recently, the network operator announced that the new GBit/s tariff O2 my Home XXL (1,000 Mbit/s download, 500 Mbit/s upload) monthly 69.99 euros. cost will be. Also on offer is O2 my Home XL XXL (250 Mbit/s download, 125 Mbit/s upload) for 34.99 euros and O2 my Home L XXL (100 Mbit/s download, 40 Mbit/s upload) for 24.99 euros. The expansion is being financed by the joint venture "Unsere Grüne Glasfaser" (UGG), which is owned by Allianz and Telefónica.
