Partnership between 1&1 and OXG continues with long-term collaboration deal
1&1 and OXG Team Up to Boost Fiber Optic Connections in Germany
In a strategic move to enhance the country's digital landscape, 1&1 AG, a listed telecommunications provider and part of the United Internet Group, has entered into a long-term partnership with OXG Fiber Optic GmbH & Co. KG. This collaboration, which serves as a wholesale fiber partnership, allows 1&1 to provide services over OXG's fiber optic network across Germany [1][3].
OXG, an open access fiber optic network operator, is a joint venture by Vodafone Germany and Altice, founded in March 2023 [4]. With a commitment to nationwide expansion, OXG is currently constructing and operating a fast and reliable fiber optic network, aiming to connect up to seven million households in Germany [5]. This ambitious project involves an investment of up to seven billion euros in standardized broadband solutions and innovative FTTH expansion projects.
One of the key highlights of this partnership is OXG's ongoing expansion in urban and metropolitan areas. For instance, a recent project in Oberhausen saw the connection of around 3,600 households [2]. This collaboration with 1&1 enables broad fiber service delivery over OXG’s growing infrastructure, supporting 1&1’s fiber network availability in Germany’s urban and metro areas.
While detailed nationwide expansion plans together are not fully outlined in available sources, it is clear that this partnership will play a significant role in boosting the number of households with future-proof fiber optic connections based on state-of-the-art technology.
1&1, which focuses on the German market, has been making waves in the telecommunications sector. The company was recently confirmed as the best fixed-line provider in Germany in the renowned fixed-line test of the consumer portal IMTEST [6]. 1&1 AG offers broadband connections based on the nationwide fiber optic transport network of 1&1 Versatel and networks of regional carriers and Deutsche Telekom.
Starting from the first quarter of 2026, 1&1 fiber optic tariffs will be available for over 3 million additional private households, offering speeds of up to 1,000 megabits per second and competitive prices [7]. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, 1&1 has been rated as having the most satisfied customers in Germany for both internet connections and mobile communications [8].
