Deutsche Telekom to further expand 5G, fiber footprint
Deutsche Telekom says its 5G network now covers 92% of its European footprint as of the end of 2025 and plans to push that to 95% in 2026. The company is continuing large-scale fiber rollouts in parallel, aiming to increase the share of customers who can connect to high-speed fixed broadband.
The operator frames both 5G and fiber as long-term infrastructure projects rather than short-term upgrades, and indicates that this year’s focus will be extending coverage to more of its existing markets rather than opening new ones.
