Full-service provider Magenta Telekom, which was formed in 2019 from the merger of mobile operator T-Mobile Austria and cableco UPC Austria, has upgraded fixed broadband speeds for more than 500,000 existing customers. Through the upgrade, customers on low download rate plans will now be able to access speeds of 100Mbps, which has become the operator’s new entry-level plan, while other upgrades include from 100Mbps and 125Mbps to 150Mbps, from 150Mbps to 250Mbps and from 250Mbps to 300Mbps. The speed upgrade is being carried out on the firm’s HFC network and is at no additional cost for customers.
‘Many existing customers still had a low download speed of 5Mbps, 10Mbps, 25Mbps or 75Mbps. From our point of view, real high speed internet starts at 100Mbps and we are now enabling our customers to do this with the free speed increase,’ said Bruno Duarte, CCO Consumer at Magenta Telekom, adding: ‘We spend a lot of money on network expansion to give our customers the best high speed internet experience. Because the fun really begins with a 100Mbps download. We want to raise the bar in terms of customer experience and we want to become even better for our customers. That’s why we’re increasing speeds for more than half a million homes.’
