In Germany, Deutsche Telekom is the sovereign market leader in both fixed-network and mobile revenues. We delight our customers with excellent network quality as well as a broad product portfolio and excellent service. More than 5 million customers have already opted for our convergent product MagentaEINS, the combination of fixed and mobile networks.
Integrated networks for the Gigabit society
Telekom wants to make its contribution to ensuring that every household and every company in Germany has a fibre-optic connection by 2030. The first stage goal remains ten million Fiber to the Home (FTTH) connections by the end of 2024. To achieve this, we are expanding more than any other telecommunications company in Germany. Every day.
The main arteries of the Telekom network have long been made of fibre. With more than 650,000 kilometres, it is the largest network of its kind in Europe. More than 3.6 million households in Germany can now book a gigabit-capable connection in the Telekom network. We supply eight out of ten households in Germany with bandwidths of up to 100 megabits per second (MBit/s). This is more than 34 million households. 27.4 million households can book a tariff with up to 250 MBit/s.
New standards in mobile communications
Telekom is also ahead in mobile communications and offers its customers outstanding network quality. This is reflected in numerous victories in various network tests. More than 34,000 locations are currently using the Telekom network. In addition, we put more than 1,500 new locations into operation every year. In addition, LTE and 5G expansions are being carried out at thousands of existing locations.
As part of our massive expansion activities, 5G is becoming the new standard in the mobile network. Today, our network already covers more than 92 percent of households in Germany with 5G. Household coverage with LTE is around 99 per cent nationwide.
Our achievements are recognised
