What Pyur does

Pyur is the consumer-facing brand of Tele Columbus AG, a publicly listed German fiber and cable network operator. The brand is operated by PYUR Vertrieb & Service GmbH (Leipzig) under Tele Columbus AG (Berlin, parent), with the network infrastructure built and maintained by Tele Columbus Netz GmbH and B2B operations housed in HLkomm Telekommunikations GmbH. Pyur delivers internet, television, and landline services over a hybrid DOCSIS cable and FTTH fiber network that reaches 3+ million households across all 16 German states, with speeds from 50 Mbit/s up to 1,000 Mbit/s.

The product portfolio centers on three core services — internet access (cable/fiber/DSL), IPTV (Pyur TV with up to 95 HD and 65 SD channels, the Android TV-based Pyur TV-Box set-top, a mobile Pyur TV App, and 12 months of Joyn streaming included with Kombi bundles), and Festnetz landline telephony — sold standalone or combined in discounted Kombi Pakete. Supporting features include the MEIN Pyur self-service portal and mobile app, an online speed-test tool, a Wechsel-Service that handles provider switching, a €30 cashback promotion, and a referral program paying up to €190 per successful recommendation. Underlying technology relies on a content-delivery network (BROADPEAK), conditional access / DRM (Nagravision), Android TV (Google), STB hardware (SAGEMCOM), and a recommendation engine (XroadMedia); an AI voice bot is deployed in the call center for routing and transcription.

Revenue is generated through 24-month recurring subscriptions at €19–€50/month per tariff, with promotional pricing identical to standard ('dauerhaft günstig') and a €19.99 one-time connection fee. Distribution mixes direct-to-consumer online (pyur.com) and phone (0800 7778 28226) sales, physical Pyur Shops, a self-employed Produktberater door-to-door partner network using the proprietary Pyur Force sales system, and B2B Wohnungswirtschaft partnerships with housing companies. Customer segments span price-sensitive consumers, heavy/power users (streaming, gaming, home office), and the German housing sector; the company does not disclose standalone revenue or subscriber counts.

Revenue model

1. Internet Subscriptions: Monthly recurring subscription fees for internet connectivity plans (50–1,000 Mbit/s), sold as standalone or bundled with TV and landline. Prices range from €19 to €49/month during promotional period and €19 to €50/month thereafter. 24-month minimum contract term.
2. TV Subscriptions and Bundles: Fees for cable/IPTV service including basic cable TV and the Kombi (Internet + TV) packages with up to 95 HD channels. A PŸUR TV-Box is included with Kombi packages; standalone TV is also available. Optional paid content (pay-per-view/VOD) generates additional transaction revenue.
3. Landline / Festnetz Add-on: Optional add-on flat rate for fixed-line telephony, available as an add-on to internet or Kombi packages. Provides unlimited German fixed-line calls.
4. Sales Partner Commissions: Self-employed field sales partners (Produktberater) earn commission on successfully signed subscriptions. Commission is performance-based and includes startup bonuses. This is a cost channel rather than a revenue stream for PŸUR, but drives customer acquisition at variable cost.
5. DSL Services: DSL-based internet subscriptions in areas where cable/fiber is not available. Tariffs include 50 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s options, priced at €40–€45/month, with Festnetz included.
