upc cablecom purchases cable network in Murifeld-Wittigkofen
Since 1 January 2016, upc cablecom has been operating the cable network in the Bern residential neighbourhood of Murifeld-Wittigkofen. The Murifeld-Wittigkofen cooperative believes it has found the ideal successor for the cable network in its long-standing telecommunications partner.
The cable network in Murifeld-Wittigkofen has been operated by Überbauungsgenossenschaft Murifeld-Wittigkofen up to now. The cooperative's management recently decided to sell the cable network to upc cablecom effective 1 January 2016. The media and telecommunications company has already been the network partner and provider of all digital products in the Murifeld-Wittigkofen neighbourhood for many years.
Thanks to the acquisition of the cable network, the some 1,050 customers will now also be able to enjoy the 3-in-1 cable connection. The cable connection offered by upc cablecom combines television, Internet and telephony. It offers customers over 70 digital television channels, 48 of those in guaranteed HD quality, more than 170 digital radio stations and a 2 Mbit/s Internet connection including a modem. A new addition to the communication connection is a landline with no monthly fee. Furthermore, calls can be made at Swiss fixed network rates on the move thanks to the upc Phone app - even abroad. Subscribers are also able to benefit from products such as MyPrime, Wi-Free and Horizon Go - upc cablecom's mobile TV service.
"upc cablecom has enjoyed a successful partnership with Überbauungsgenossenschaft Murifeld-Wittigkofen over many years. And so we are very pleased that as the leading provider of telecommunications and entertainment we are now able to offer the customers in Murifeld-Wittigkofen all of our innovative products and services following the acquisition of the cable network," says Ivan Nash Vila, CFO of upc cablecom.
