Tele Columbus boosts its PŸUR Bundles to 200 and 400 Mbit/s

- TV, Telephony and Internet now available as 20, 200 and 400 Mbit/s Bundle

- Upgrade from IP-only to Bundle at Discounts

- Incentive to Switch from DSL to Fibre-Based Internet

Berlin, 2 April 2019. Tele Columbus under its brand PŸUR now offers new high-speed bundles including Internet, HDTV and home entertainment at attractive prices . As of today the new PŸUR bundles Surf & Phone + HDTV are available at 20, 200 and 400 Mbit/s. For all customers switching from DSL, PŸUR offers especially attractive conditions.
 

Tele Columbus is meeting the demand for an increasing trend towards higher bandwidths in combination with TV and Telephony. All Surf & Phone + HDTV bundles above the 20 Mbit/s entry level product will now include high-speed Internet of 200 or 400 Mbit/s of bandwidth.
 

Customers who were previously on IP-only tariffs now have higher incentives to upgrade towards higher-value bundles including HDTV and fixed-line Telephony. During the promotional period, customers can experience the high-speed offering of the fibre-based access without any limitations. Tariffs are set in a way to offer a clear price advantage not only over the pick and choose approach but also versus the DSL-based competition. "We are offering the most attractive price-value-proposition in the market for bundles", highlights Stefan Riedel, Chief Consumer Officer at Tele Columbus AG. "By harmonizing the bandwidths, it is now easier for customers to compare between the IP-only and bundles and to choose what fits him or her best".
 

The new tariff scheme is well-positioned to convince current DSL customers to switch to Tele Columbus. For customers switching from DSL to PŸUR, the Company has created attractive offers including the first three month for free when booking the pick & choose products "Pure Surf" & "Pure Speed". When signing up for the 200 or 400 Mbit/s bundles, the free trial in fact covers six months.
 

The new offers are available as of 2 April 2019 via all sales channels and will be accompanied by a marketing campaign.
