A One Stop Shop:

Offering Internet, Telephony & Television

Two years after the introduction of the Unitymedia brand, the business has successfully transformed itself from being a cable network operator to one of the leading triple play providers. Unitymedia is one of the leading triple play providers – offering internet, telephony and television from one source.

With the states of NRW and Hesse, the company provides 4.6 million customers with media and communication services in one of Europe’s strongest economic and most densely populated regions.
Exactly two years ago, Unitymedia presented itself for the first time with a new, integrated brand and product concept. Since then, the company has been providing, with its uniform brand and interlinked product range of fast internet, telephony and television, stiff competition for the established DSL and telecom providers. And with considerable success: No other brand in the area of telecommunication and media achieves a comparable Triple Play brand and product profile among consumers in the region.

»We’re proud to operate one of Europe’s largest and technically most advanced cable networks. However, in everything we do, we try to look at things from the customer’s perspective. And the customer is not interested in the technical connection, but what comes out of it at the end: Internet, Telephony and TV in excellent quality, attractively priced and from a single, customer-oriented provider. That is what the Unitymedia brand stands for.«

Parm Sandhu, CEO Unitymedia

Internet via TV cable

Unitymedia operates one of the largest interconnected cable infrastructures in Europe – the Network Operations Centre (NOC) in Kerpen is regarded as the most modern of its kind. Further massive investments are being made in the development of the technical infrastructure. By the end of the year around 90 per cent of the network will be upgraded for triple play. In close co-operation with the housing association industry and local communities, Unitymedia is also increasingly pushing forward into rural regions with triple play offers. In this way, Unitymedia is making an active contribution improving the technical infrastructure and making cities and local communities more attractive.

Unitymedia is Germany‘s 2nd largest cable-based media and communications services provider and the first truly integrated cable network in Germany. Headquartered in Cologne, it operates in Hesse and NRW, the most densely populated regions of Germany producing about one third of Germany‘s GDP. In addition to analogue cable services, Unitymedia is a leading provider of integrated triple play services, driving subscriber growth across digital television, broadband Internet and telephony. As of 31 March 2009, Unitymedia had approx. 4.6 million basic cable subscribers, with 595,000 digital TV subscribers, 713,000 Internet subscribers, and 428,000 telephony subscribers. Part of the company group is arenaSAT, Germany‘s second largest satellite TV platform.
