New Provider Enters Telecommunications Market

Ljubljana, 4 October

The Slovenian telecommunications market has a new Internet service provider, the Maribor-based company T-2, which is the first to offer the new broadband technology VDSL (very high speed digital subscriber line).

The company's director Matevz Turk said that the company wants to become the leading challenger to market leader Siol, targeting a 25% market share within a few years' time.
T-2, the company owned by financial firm Zvon Ena Holding, offers its users a broadband connection using the new technology VDSL, which enables speeds of up to 50 Mbps/20 Mbps to be shortly upgraded to 100 Mbps/50 Mbps.
Potential VDSL users do not need an analogue PSTN line, nor an ISDN or ADSL line. Those, who wish to keep their phone lines at Telekom Slovenija will, however, get a EUR 4.17 discount on their monthly subscription fee.
This will make the basic VDSL Internet connection (1 Mbps/256 Kbps) accessible at EUR 16.69 per month.
T-2, which has so far put up around 120 switches across Slovenia, also offers the possibility of a stationary phone line and digital television with 120 channels.
