What Tarr does
TARR (legal entity Tarr Kft.) is a privately held Hungarian regional telecommunications operator headquartered in Szekszárd and founded in 1990, serving residential and business customers across Tolna, Baranya, Somogy, Zala, Bács-Kiskun, Fejér and Csongrád-Csanád counties. The company operates a hybrid network combining Fiber-to-the-Home GPON, DOCSIS coaxial cable, fixed-wireless (MikroNET microwave) and leased-line Ethernet for the TARR Business division, and holds its own mobile network identifier (MCC 216 / MNC 70) to deliver an MVNO mobile service under the 'Kapcsolat' brand with six postpaid tiers.
The product portfolio spans four residential subscription lines — Kábeltv cable TV with 150+ digital channels in tiered packages (Mini, Alap, Prémium 101 channels/69 HD), Otthoni Internet with up to 1000 Mbit/s over GPON or DOCSIS and 15-80 Mbit/s MikroNET tiers, Mobil MVNO service from Kapcsolat Start through Prémium+ MAX, and Tele-TARR landline telephony — supported by the Ügyfélkapu online portal, TARR App, TARR MobilTV and TARR OnlineTV for OTT streaming, and an electronic billing system (E-számla). The B2B segment offers dedicated internet, L2 leased lines up to 10 Gbps, web/email/hosting, virtual office services, and installation. Distribution combines 20 physical retail/service points, a mobile sales bus (TARR Busz), an in-house call center (1223), app-store-distributed mobile apps, and a webshop for devices.
TARR's commercial model is subscription-recurring across all connectivity services, with hardware sales as a secondary stream (smartphones, smart TVs, TP-Link Mesh, Tapo cameras, accessories) often subsidized under 24-month mobile commitments. The Tarr Pakk bundling program provides combined monthly and device discounts (up to HUF 121,000) for customers holding both fixed-internet and mobile services under one account, while content partnerships with HBO Max, RTL+ Active and TV2 Play Premium embed streaming into TV packages via TARR-issued activation codes. Multiple EU- and Hungarian-funded network development projects (GINOP, DIMOP PLUSZ) and a 20-year enterprise relationship with Tolnatej Zrt. underscore the company's regional incumbent position.
