satellite competition amid high levels of urban population density, fibre coverage and

convergence - see our deep-dive for more details (link). In terms of subscriber

momentum for Q2 specifically, KPN/VodafoneZiggo have commented that they have

Promotions continue in a competitive broadband market

There is little change in broadband front-book pricing quarter-on-quarter. However, the

key debate is whether the blocked fibre deal for Glaspoort (KPN JV) and Delta Fiber (link)

could lead to fibre overbuild (rather than consolidation) and result in increased

competition. Currently, KPN/Odido offer €35pm/€25pm 12 month promotional prices

respectively across their portfolio.
