Deutsche Telekom has agreed to acquire Fiberhost, a Polish open-access fixed network operator, and Inea, a retail broadband and TV provider, for an enterprise valuation of around €1bn, with the deal designed to boost the market position of T-Mobile Polska, the German company said on August 17.

The acquisition from current shareholders — Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5, managed by Macquarie Asset Management, and minority shareholders — will accelerate T-Mobile Polska's growth by adding Inea's over 300,000 customers and Fiberhost's fibre network passing over 1.4mn homes.

"The transaction marks a new step in T-Mobile Polska's transformation from a mobile-only operator into a fully convergent telecommunications provider. Since signing its first wholesale access agreement in 2018, T-Mobile has expanded its fixed coverage through wholesale partners and built a nationwide convergent offer," the firm said in a press release.

T-Mobile Polska's CEO Andreas Maierhofer commented that the Polish company's mobile network, nationwide backbone, data centres and fibre infrastructure would now be complemented by its own fibre-to-the-home network reaching 1.4mn households.

"Owning an FTTH network will allow us to further develop our already successful portfolio of convergent products. Technological excellence, combined with our strong customer service - our key differentiators in the market - will strengthen our operations in Poland and help us build an even more attractive, quality-driven portfolio for both business and private customers at greater scale," Maierhofer was quoted as saying.

Fiberhost will continue to offer transparent and non-discriminatory access to its fibre infrastructure to all existing and potential internet service providers in Poland, Deutsche Telekom added.

At the end of Q2 2026, T-Mobile Polska's mobile customer base stood at 13.3mn users, up by 340,000 y/y.
