Deutsche Telekom has published its results for the second quarter of 2021.
Germany
The number of broadband lines increased by 186 thousand to over 14.3 million in the first half of 2021. Demand for our retail fiber-optic-based lines was the biggest driver here, accounting for 456 thousand lines. We recorded an increase of 69 thousand in the number of TV customers compared with year-end 2020. In traditional fixed-network business, the number of lines declined slightly by 35 thousand. This marked a considerable reduction in line losses compared with the prior-year period. As expected, the number of fixed-network lines remained stable at 17.6 million lines.
Europe
The TV and entertainment business had a total of 5.1 million customers as of June 30, 2021, up by a marginal 1.0% compared with the end of the prior year. With both telecommunications providers and OTT players offering TV services, the TV market is already saturated in many countries of our segment.
