VEGA-net

What VEGA-net does

VEGA-net GmbH is a municipal telecommunications utility headquartered in Enkenbach-Alsenborn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Founded in 2010 and owned by the Verbandsgemeinde Enkenbach-Alsenborn together with the four local communities of Enkenbach-Alsenborn, Mehlingen, Neuhemsbach, and Sembach, the company delivers broadband internet, fixed-line telephony, IPTV, and business connectivity services exclusively within its four-municipality service area. Its network architecture is a hybrid fiber-copper model: VEGA-net owns fiber-optic infrastructure terminating at cable distribution points, then rents the last-mile copper local loop from Deutsche Telekom (TAL) to reach customer premises. The full service area is switched to VDSL2-Vectoring (Profile 17a), enabling up to 100 Mbit/s download and 40 Mbit/s upload over copper, while new development areas receive FTTH connections supporting up to 1,000 Mbit/s symmetric-class speeds.

The company operates a tiered consumer product portfolio (VEGA-8 through VEGA-100 on DSL; VEGA-40G through VEGA-1000G on fiber) priced between €31.95 and €79.95 per month, with a 24-month standard term and an optional no-term variant. All packages include a free fixed-line telephone connection, unlimited data, and number portability support. Add-on services include optional landline and mobile flat rates, premium FRITZ!Box routers (€3.95/month surcharge), and waipu.tv IPTV resold from Exaring AG. The business segment offers symmetric 50 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s fiber with 99.1% availability SLA, fixed IP addresses, and 24-hour fault reporting, delivered jointly with strategic partner K-net Telekommunikation GmbH.

VEGA-net sells and supports customers through direct channels only — its website, phone hotline (06303-999-8999), and in-person office consultation — with no third-party resellers for core connectivity services. As of the most recent disclosed figures, the company serves approximately 2,800 private customers and 145 business customers. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding or venture capital is involved, and the entity is privately held under municipal ownership as a German GmbH.
