What inexio does

inexio is a German regional telecommunications and IT infrastructure provider headquartered in Saarlouis, operating as a subsidiary of the Deutsche Glasfaser group. The company delivers fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), DSL, IPTV (via waipu.tv), and IT/data center services to two customer segments: residential subscribers (Privatkunden) and business clients (Geschäftskunden), supported by 14,000 kilometers of owned fiber infrastructure across 10 German states. Its enterprise roster includes Deutsche Bank, Deka, Fraport, John Deere, Merck, Villeroy & Boch, and CNBC, while the residential base exceeds 120,000 customers.

The core technology stack is built around DWDM-enabled fiber optic transport and Ethernet-based enterprise connectivity, with services delivered over a self-operated access network rather than leased wholesale infrastructure. Product lines include Glasfaser Tarife (FTTH up to 1,000 Mbit/s), DSL Tarife, waipu.tv television bundling, email hosting, and self-service customer portals for both residential and business users. Distribution is a sales-led hybrid of phone-based direct sales and online self-service via dedicated residential (kundenportal.myquix.de) and business (bp.inexio.net) portals.

Revenue mechanics are anchored on recurring monthly subscriptions for both residential and business customers, supplemented by activation fees (e.g., a €69.95 promotional activation offer) and a customer referral program (Freunde werben). The legal structure comprises a holding entity (inexio Beteiligungs GmbH) with two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — inexio Informationstechnologie und Telekommunikation GmbH and inexio Breitband GmbH — and the company operates under Bundesnetzagentur telecommunications regulation in Germany.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• NetCologne: Regional fiber and broadband provider focused on the Cologne/Rhineland area in Germany. Comparable regional telecom operator with residential, business, and wholesale offerings.
• 1&1 Versatel: German broadband provider with both retail consumer offerings (DSL/fiber under the 1&1 brand) and a wholesale fiber network (Versatel) targeting business customers. Closely matches inexio's dual residential + business telecommunications model.
• M-net Telekommunikations: Regional German fiber and DSL provider serving Bavaria and parts of Baden-Wuerttemberg with residential and business services. Closely mirrors inexio's regional fiber-retail + business-services model.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Glasfaser: inexio's parent group and Germany's leading alternative FTTH builder. Directly comparable business model (rural/suburban fiber retail), but operates more broadly across Germany and at greater scale; provides inexio with procurement, capital, and build expertise.
• Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile): Germany's incumbent telecom operator and largest ISP. Competes directly with inexio in fiber and DSL broadband retail, with significantly greater scale, brand recognition, and capital resources; provides the primary competitive benchmark for pricing and coverage.
• Vodafone Germany: Major national ISP and cable operator offering broadband, TV, and fixed-line services. Overlaps with inexio in residential and business connectivity, particularly via cable and FTTH products in shared geographies.
• O2 (Telefonica Germany): Major German mobile and fixed-line broadband provider. Competes with inexio in residential DSL/fiber tariffs and bundles, particularly for price-sensitive segments.

Regional players

• Deutsche Glasfaser Wholesale (Eurofiber): Eurofiber operates wholesale fiber infrastructure across Germany and the Benelux. Comparable to inexio's underlying network asset class, though focused on B2B/wholesale rather than consumer retail.

Emerging players

• wilhelm.tel: Smaller regional fiber operator in northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg area) providing fiber, TV, and business services. A smaller-scale analog to inexio's regional fiber-retail model.
• Stadtwerke (e.g., SWK, Netze BW): Municipal utility companies (Stadtwerke) increasingly build and operate local fiber networks across Germany. Many serve their own concession areas with retail broadband, paralleling inexio's regional retail fiber strategy.
