Obenet

What Obenet does

Obenet AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held Swedish internet service provider founded in 2008, serving residential customers, businesses, and property owners/housing associations (BRF). The company delivers broadband, WiFi, IPTV, IP telephony, and managed WiFi services over open city fiber networks (stadsnät) and dedicated dark fiber, reaching approximately 2.78 million access points across 13 partner networks including Öppen Fiber/Zitius/Telia, GlobalConnect/IP-Only, iTUX, Fibra, and Open Infra. Residential speeds reach up to 10 Gbit/s symmetric and business services up to 100 Gbit/s, with always-on public IPv4 addresses and no traffic logging as core differentiators.

The company operates its own high-speed backbone network and AS3399 autonomous system with distributed 100GE+ peering across the Nordics, and owns two proprietary datacenters in Stockholm (Älvsjö Riverlake and Kista Gate) with ~2 MW combined capacity, supporting colocation, dedicated servers, and wholesale L2 Ethernet transport and IP Transit services for operators across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions (residential broadband, business broadband with SLAs, managed WiFi from 499 SEK/month, IP telephony at 30 SEK/month), colocation and managed services, and wholesale network services to other ISPs and operators.

Obenet distributes through direct website self-serve ordering (address-based portal), phone-based enterprise sales, BRF/property group agreements, and partnerships with open city network operators. The company is 100% Swedish-owned, was recognized as a Gasellföretag 2025 by Dagens Industri, and positions around privacy (no logging, no data selling, Tor/Snowflake sponsorship), simplicity (no robots or long menus in support), and local ownership of critical infrastructure.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Tele2: Major Swedish telecom offering broadband, TV and telephony — a broad incumbent competing with Obenet for residential and SMB customers while operating its own fiber footprint.
• Telia Company: Sweden's incumbent telecom and largest owner of open fiber via Öppen Fiber/Zitius — Obenet both depends on Telia's wholesale network and competes against its retail offerings.
• GlobalConnect (IP-Only): Large Nordic fiber infrastructure operator and ISP; both a wholesale network partner for Obenet and a competitor for enterprise connectivity and dark fiber customers.

Direct peers

• Bredband2: Swedish broadband provider operating over open city networks with a similar stadsnät-based retail model, competing head-to-head with Obenet on residential and small business fiber broadband.
• iTUX: Smaller Swedish fiber ISP operating its own stadsnät and reselling connectivity; while also a network partner for Obenet, it competes for the same end-customer base on overlapping footprint.
• A3 (AllTele): Swedish operator offering broadband, telephony and TV over open networks with both consumer and business segments — directly comparable service portfolio and target audience.
• Ownit Broadband: Stockholm-based fiber ISP delivering broadband over city networks to residential and business customers — a closely comparable retail fiber provider in Obenet's core market.
• Bahnhof: Swedish ISP renowned for privacy-first positioning, no-logging policies, and operating its own backbone and datacenters — directly competing with Obenet for the same privacy-conscious residential and SMB customer segment.

Others

• Zitius: Operates the Telia Öppen Fiber wholesale platform that Obenet depends on for its largest network footprint — an infrastructure/ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• Hiper: Danish consumer ISP with a similar privacy-friendly, simplicity-focused brand positioning; comparable go-to-market and customer values but operating across the Øresund rather than directly in Sweden.
