Suc Dacor

What Suc Dacor does

süc // dacor GmbH is a regional telecommunications provider headquartered in Coburg, Bavaria, operating since 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of municipal energy utility SÜC GmbH. It delivers internet, telephony, TV, and IoT connectivity to residential, business, and municipal customers across Coburg, Lichtenfels, Heldburger Unterland, Rhön-Grabfeld, and Hassberge. The network is built on three access technologies: Glasfaser (FTTB/FTTH), VDSL over copper, and Coax cable (DOCSIS), complemented by a regional LoRaWAN IoT network covering the Coburg region.

The core residential portfolio is a tiered tariff family branded DACOR 50/150/400/1000, offered in "comfort" variants that bundle a Germany-wide phone flat and "call" variants without telephony, with optional add-ons (public/static IP, second voice channel, mobile flat). TV is delivered via a white-label resale of waipu.tv (Exaring AG), and a self-install Glasfaser-Verlegekit allows customers to extend fiber inside the home. For business customers, the company provides dedicated internet up to 1 Gbit/s, cloud-based IP PBX, a wholesale Open-Access/VULA bitstream product at 10/25/50/100 Mbit/s for other carriers interconnecting at one of two Coburg data centers, secure data center hosting from the SÜC group, and the LoRaWAN Smart Region IoT network supporting 80+ sensor types across smart city, smart agriculture, and industrial monitoring.

The revenue model is almost entirely subscription-based recurring monthly fees, augmented by a one-time €69.00 connection fee, introductory 6-month pricing, and PowerKombi bundle discounts of €5–10/month when internet is combined with SÜC electricity and/or gas. Go-to-market combines a physical Coburg office, an online availability/ordering shop, home consultations during fiber rollouts, 10+ regional service partners, SÜC Energie retail points, and a Wohnbau Coburg housing partnership. The customer base stood at approximately 8,058 connected customers; leadership transitioned in September 2024 with the appointment of Franz-Josef Loscar alongside founding MDs Frank Feihe and Uwe Meyer as part of a planned succession.

Direct peers

• M-net Telekommunikations GmbH: Regional telecom operator in Bavaria (Munich and surrounding regions) offering fiber, DSL, telephony, and business services. Most directly comparable German regional telco peer: similar municipal-utility heritage, fiber-led growth strategy, and Bavaria footprint overlap.
• NetCologne: Regional telecom for the Cologne/Bonn area owned by municipal utility group. Operates own fiber network with residential internet, telephony, TV, and B2B/cloud services — same regional-incumbent-on-municipal-infrastructure business model as DACOR.
• EWE TEL GmbH: Telecom arm of EWE AG, a municipal/regional utility group in northwest Germany, offering fiber, DSL, mobile, and TV. Closely comparable structure: utility-owned regional telco selling bundled energy+connectivity to residential and SMB customers.
• R-KOM GmbH: Regional telecom in the Regensburg/Bavarian region, subsidiary of the local municipal utility (REWAG). Provides fiber, business telephony, data center, and wholesale services — same model and same Bavarian market geography as DACOR.
• wilhelm.tel: Regional fiber/cable telco in the Norderstedt/Hamburg metropolitan area, originally spun out of a municipal utility (Stadtwerke Norderstedt). Closely comparable in size, fiber-led model, and utility-parent ownership structure.

Emerging players

• Deutsche Glasfaser: Fast-growing fiber-to-the-home operator focused on rural and small-town Germany, often partnering with municipal utilities. Comparable as a fiber expansion vehicle competing for the same municipal fiber build opportunities DACOR pursues.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Telekom AG: National incumbent telecom with deep fiber and VDSL footprint across Germany. Competes head-on with DACOR in residential broadband, mobile, and TV; defines the price floor and competitive intensity in every market DACOR serves.
• Vodafone Deutschland: Major national competitor offering cable, DSL, fiber, mobile, and TV bundles throughout Germany. Competes with DACOR in the Coburg region via cable and DSL, and increasingly in fiber as national buildout extends.
• 1&1 (United Internet AG): National DSL/fiber reseller and mobile virtual network operator with aggressive consumer pricing. Competes with DACOR for price-sensitive residential broadband customers, particularly via its own FTTH rollout.
• Telefónica Deutschland (O2): National mobile and fixed-line operator with DSL and emerging fiber offerings. Competes with DACOR in the broader connectivity market and is increasingly bundling fixed broadband with mobile plans to undercut regional incumbents.
