DSLmobil

What DSLmobil does

DSLmobil GmbH is a privately held German internet service provider headquartered in Asbach-Bäumenheim, Bavaria, founded by brothers Andreas and Matthias Korber around 2006 and employing approximately 20 people. The company delivers broadband connectivity to underserved rural communities in the Swabia and Donau-Ries regions of Southern Germany via three access technologies: fixed-wireless (Funk) at up to 16,000 kbit/s, DSL over copper lines (VDSL) at up to 100,000 kbit/s, and fiber-to-the-home (Glasfaser/FTTH) at up to 200,000 kbit/s downstream. VoIP telephony is bundled across all internet plans, and the company sells pre-configured AVM FRITZ!Box routers and FRITZ!Fon DECT phones as ancillary hardware.

The business model is recurring-subscription-driven, with consumer "Surf + Phone" tiers priced €24.95-€59.95/month, business asymmetric "Office" tiers €49-€99/month, and symmetric "Premium" business tiers €299-€399/month. Distribution is sales-led and dependent on Kooperationsverträge (cooperation agreements) with rural municipalities, under which DSLmobil invests in fiber rollout — often partially funded by Bavarian state broadband subsidies — in exchange for local market access, and converts municipal relationships into individual subscriber contracts via its website (dslmobil.de), service hotline, customer portal (km.dslmobil.de), and in-person support at headquarters. Customer segments are horizontally segmented into private households, small/medium businesses, and municipal governments (the latter as partnership counterparties rather than paying subscribers). Differentiators include a true unlimited flatrate without throttling, local customer service without premium-rate hotlines, and full handling of provider transitions including contract cancellation.

Direct peers

• M-net Telekommunikations: Regional telecommunications carrier for Bavaria, offering DSL, fiber, and business connectivity in the same German-speaking market. Operates a similar hybrid DSL/FTTH model across an overlapping Bavarian footprint, making it the most direct geographic and product peer to DSLmobil.
• NetCologne: Regional German ISP/telecom offering DSL, fiber, and business services to consumers and SMBs. Comparable to DSLmobil as a regional alternative to Deutsche Telekom, with a similar mix of residential subscriptions and business-grade products.
• Deutsche Glasfaser: PE-backed (KKR) FTTH provider focused exclusively on rural and suburban German municipalities. Uses a similar demand-aggregation model with local communities and offers fiber-based broadband at comparable speed tiers to DSLmobil's Glasfaser product.
• BBV Deutschland: DSL internet provider in Germany using Deutsche Telekom's wholesale lines to deliver broadband to underserved areas. Mirrors DSLmobil's VDSL/Festnetz offering and its strategy of competing against the national provider by serving customers Deutsche Telekom underserves.

Regional players

• DNS:NET: Berlin-based fiber provider focused on Brandenburg and eastern Germany. Comparable to DSLmobil as a regional FTTH roll-out specialist targeting underserved markets, but with a distinct geographic focus and different municipal relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Telekom: Germany's largest telecom operator and the dominant DSL/FTTH provider, including in rural areas. DSLmobil's existence is largely defined by filling gaps in Deutsche Telekom's rural coverage, and Telekom is both its upstream TAL supplier and its primary competitive threat.
• Tele Columbus: German cable/fiber ISP providing broadband and TV to households in regional German networks. Comparable as a fixed-line infrastructure operator with overlapping residential and business product offerings, but operating at much larger scale with a cable (rather than DSL/FTTH) heritage.
• 1&1 Versatel / United Internet: Mass-market German DSL/fiber/mobile ISP serving millions of residential and business customers via Deutsche Telekom wholesale lines. Overlaps with DSLmobil's tagline as a DSL competitor, but operates at vastly greater scale and is a national incumbent.
• Vodafone Deutschland: Major German fixed-line and cable ISP offering DSL, cable, and fiber broadband nationwide. Competes with DSLmobil wherever it overlaps geographically and represents one of the scale players pushing into rural fiber markets.
• EWE TEL: Telecom subsidiary of EWE AG providing DSL, fiber, and mobile services across northern and parts of western Germany. Comparable as a regional incumbent ISP with a fiber expansion focus, but with broader geographic reach and a larger product portfolio than DSLmobil.
