Since 2010, the company has been expanding the fiber-optic network in Aachen for around 20 million euros in 6,500 houses within the Alleenring, in the Rehmviertel and in the Frankenberger Viertel . The glass fibers are laid down in the cellars of the houses (so-called “Fiber to the Building”, “ FTTB ” for short ) and the existing copper cables are used within the properties. As a rule, however, there is no FTTH “Fiber to the Home”. Here the company has entered into a cooperation with Deutsche Telekom . With this technology, data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbit / s in the download and 100 Mbit / s in the upload are possible.

VDSL expansion areas: Aachen-Mitte and the city ​​districts of Brand , Haaren and Laurensberg . In addition, Alsdorf , Düren , Geilenkirchen , Herzogenrath , Linnich , Würselen and the North Eifel are occasionally supplied. Aachen Süd and Eilendorf are currently being expanded.

Some objects in Aachen are a hybrid fiber - coax / supplies -Netz (short HFC) with television and Internet / telephony with data transfer rates of up to 50 Mbit / s downstream and 10 Mbit s upstream.

Where there has not yet been any expansion of NetAachen, the company rents the so-called last mile for DSL connections from Deutsche Telekom.

In the 2013 financial year, the company invested 3.6 million euros and had a turnover of 34 million euros.

NetAachen makes its own network available to other competitors as Open Access .

Digital television

The company offers digital television with MultiKabel. NetAachen is thus in direct competition with the cable network operator Unitymedia . The programs offered by NetAachen come from the provider KabelKiosk , Eutelsat , some of which NetAachen feeds in the programs itself. In total, NetAachen offers around 330 TV and radio programs via MultiKabel, as well as IPTV under the name CityNetTV . Since January 30, 2019, the analog distribution of television programs has been discontinued and only digital TV ( DVB-C ) is fed in.
