ᐅ Apply for a Telekom / Unity Media connection in parallel

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to apply for both a Telekom connection and a Unity Media connection (cable connection) at the same time? The reason is that I would like to get Internet via the cable network because Telekom cannot provide a fast enough Internet service. TV would be received normally via satellite dish.

I have already completed the Telekom application and then looked at the Unity application, which only states that they will send the builder an offer if it is possible to install a connection. I assume there must already be a cable connection nearby that they can tap into.

I still wanted to ask if anyone has ever applied for both at the same time?

Is this a new build? We couldn’t do anything simultaneously. We were stuck with the telecom provider for 2 years. We didn’t want to pay for two contracts.

It depends on whether it is a new development area or not. Usually, only one provider offers service there, as "HilfeHilfe" already described above. In the case of a building gap or similar situation, all potentially available providers can be considered. I definitely plan to arrange a connection from both Telekom and KabelDeutschland (now Vodafone). What the costs will be is another question.

In our new development area, both are available, and we will apply for both. So, in general, it is possible. You should get some quotes.

That works, we did the same. Note the discount offered by the provider where you finalize the contract later.

I don’t quite understand now. You can get both phone and internet, for example, from a cable network provider. For satellite TV, you don’t need a provider. You just set up the dish and that’s it. So having both would be overkill. Of course, if you want to be prepared for both, then have both installed.
