Telefonica Germany is revamping its home broadband service to give customers service across a full range of cable, fibre, DSL or mobile technology. The price of the O2 my Home tariffs is the same regardless of the technology. The operator will recommend the best technology for the customer's address and household make-up, while also allowing customers to choose based on availability.
The new offer will be available from 03 November with fibre, VDSL, LTE and 5G options, with cable added by the end of November. It follows new network deals struck in the past two years to gain access to fibre and cable networks, in addition to Telefonica's existing VDSL service. The company claims it has the widest network coverage in Germany, thanks to deals with Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, Tele Columbus and other regional fixed operators.
It is also introducing a new O2 HomeSpot mobile router with 5G and a fixed phone number, which customers can set up without the need for a technician visit. This follows trials of fixed-wireless 5G services, which may be expanded under the company's network investment plans.
The new O2 my Home S tariff offers 10 Mbps speeds with a data cap of 100 GB per month for EUR 24.99. This is available with VDSL or the mobile router only. Cable becomes an option from the O2 my Home M plan, which increases the speed to 50 Mbps with unlimited data for EUR 29.99 per month, and is also available with the my Home L plan with 100 Mbps for EUR 34.99 or my Home XL with 250 Mbps for EUR 44.99. Fibre is reserved for the top plan with speeds of up to 1 Gbps, my Home XXL for EUR 59.99 monthly.
All the new tariffs include unlimited calls to the German fixed network and are also available in the Flex contract version. New customers who opt for a 24-month contract will receive a discount of EUR 10 in the first twelve months. Existing O2 customers who already use an O2 product and additionally subscribe to a O2 my Home tariff receive a EUR 10 discount per month.
