Internet in high-speed quality and top performance over existing copper lines: with CompanyConnect 10M, Deutsche Telekom is providing its business customers throughout Germany with a professional Internet link that features symmetrical transmission rates of up to 10 megabits per second (Mbit/s). Compared with the previous fastest CompanyConnect link over copper, this represents an increase in speed by a factor of 5. CompanyConnect 10M stands for low-cost Internet access with high transmission speeds based on the existing access network. In addition, the solution offers a first-ever function that enables data traffic to be prioritized on the Internet access line. CompanyConnect 10M is ideal, for example, for business customers in regions that are not served by fiber networks. The product is the first in a new generation of offers from Deutsche Telekom for professional Internet linkup.
"With CompanyConnect 10M we have established yet another milestone in our business portfolio for connected work," says Dirk Backofen, Head of Marketing in Deutsche Telekom AG’s Business Customers area. "The solution makes it possible for businesses throughout the country to greatly speed up and optimize communication with their customers and business partners. Firms that use CompanyConnect 10M will achieve a noticeable boost in their competitiveness."
Two core benefits of CompanyConnect 10M are scalability of the available bandwidth and traffic prioritization, with three classes of service for applications with different requirements. CompanyConnect 10M can be supplied with rates of 2.5 Mbit/s, 5 Mbit/s and 10 Mbit/s. If needed, customers can easily change from a transmission rate of 2.5 Mbit/s to a faster product version. Traffic prioritization ensures that business customers can exchange their data smoothly over the Internet at practically any time. They can choose from the following classes of service, depending on the data applications they use:
- Low Delay: Suitable for time-critical multimedia applications with very low signal delays,
- Low Loss: For critical data applications such as SAP, ensures highly reliable data throughput,
- Best Effort: For fastest possible data transport; standard service unchanged.
The advantages of broadband scalability and traffic prioritization include an extremely high, guaranteed line availability of 98.5 percent. This can be improved to 99.5 percent with an optional second link – if required with the same rate as the first line. All CompanyConnect services come with eight fixed IP addresses and an Internet domain. All that is required to configure CompanyConnect 10M are four copper pairs.
With its CompanyConnect portfolio, Deutsche Telekom is offering its business customers throughout Germany a broad range of high-performance, flexibly upgradable, professional Internet access options.

Flexible pricing guarantees tailored low prices with full control over costs thanks to flat rates and maximum prices.
