OXG Glasfaser

What OXG Glasfaser does

OXG Glasfaser GmbH is a Düsseldorf-based, privately held wholesale fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure operator founded in 2023. The company finances, builds and operates an open-access passive fiber network across Germany, deploying Gf-NVt street-level distribution points, Gf-Hüp building entry points, Gf-ADo in-unit termination boxes and ONT modems to deliver symmetric speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s today, with infrastructure provisioned for future 10 Gbit/s upgrades. OXG does not sell retail internet; instead, it signs 15-year Gestattungsverträge (wayleave agreements) with property owners, Wohnungswirtschaft and municipalities to lay fiber across private property at no cost to the owner, and then leases passive capacity on that network to multiple internet service providers — currently Vodafone and Plusnet live, with 1&1, Bahnhof Nätverk and Thüringer Netkom launching in 2026.

The commercial model is a pure wholesale play: revenue accrues from ISP capacity leases, while end-customer acquisition and billing are handled entirely by the retail ISPs. Property owners and tenants receive the physical fiber connection for free, and existing DSL/cable services remain untouched until tenants voluntarily switch to a fiber tariff. OXG's go-to-market blends door-to-door field sales (operated jointly by OXG's own regional staff and Vodafone's field force across 8 German regions) with a self-serve online sign-up portal at mitmachen.oxg.de, supported by a Salesforce-powered AI chatbot ('RoXy') and a broad paid-search, social and affiliate marketing stack. The company is under Bundesnetzagentur supervision, claims up to €1 billion in committed funding from its corporate backer, and targets millions of household connections across all 16 German states.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• EWE TEL: Subsidiary of EWE AG, an energy and telecommunications company rolling out FTTH in northwest Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen, Brandenburg). Operates fiber networks in a defined regional footprint comparable in technology but narrower in geography.
• NetCologne: Regional telecom and FTTH operator in the Cologne/Rhineland area, offering fiber broadband, cable internet, and telephony to residential and business customers. Comparable FTTH build-and-operate activity within a more limited geographic footprint.
• M-net Telekommunikations: Bavaria-focused regional FTTH operator expanding into additional German regions. Comparable fiber-to-the-home buildout model in Germany, but with a regional concentration rather than nationwide coverage.

Broad incumbents

• Vodafone Deutschland (VfK / Unitymedia): Germany's #2 telecom operator and OXG's largest wholesale ISP tenant plus door-to-door sales partner. Operates its own cable/broadband infrastructure; comparable as an established player in the same end-customer market where OXG supplies the open-access layer.
• Deutsche Telekom: Germany's incumbent telecom operator, vertically integrated with a national FTTH rollout program. Overlaps with OXG in FTTH technology and target customer base, but competes via its own retail brand rather than as an open-access wholesaler.

Emerging players

• GigaNetz: Frankfurt-based German FTTH open-access operator building fiber networks in Hesse and other regions on a wholesale model. Comparable infrastructure-only play, but at smaller geographic scale than OXG.

Direct peers

• Unsere Grüne Glasfaser (UGG): Joint venture between Telefónica Deutschland and Allianz focused on rolling out FTTH in rural and underserved German regions via an open-access wholesale model. Direct alternative model to OXG's multi-city rollout.
• Deutsche Glasfaser: Germany's largest dedicated FTTH wholesale open-access operator, building fiber-to-the-home networks nationwide and leasing capacity to multiple ISPs. Closest like-for-like competitor to OXG in business model, technology, and customer segments.
• GlasfaserPlus: Joint venture between Telefónica Deutschland and Allianz Group building an open-access FTTH network across Germany targeting millions of households. Operates as a neutral wholesale platform on a similar build-then-lease model to OXG.

Others

• 1&1 Versatel / 1&1 Internet: Wholesale ISP partner of OXG that also operates its own fiber backbone in Germany. Comparable as both an FTTH-related infrastructure operator (Versatel) and an OXG channel partner selling retail tariffs on the OXG open-access network from 2026.
