The Pepcom GmbH based in Unterföhring was a member of the regional cable operator Cable & Media Service (Munich), FAKS (Frankfurt (Oder)), TKN (Hennigsdorf), KW (Wittenberge), KRR (Rhein Ruhr), KCR (Nierstein), CSC (Güstrow), REKA (Kamenz), KNS (Bad Salzungen, Walldorf, Meiningen), NEFtv (Nuremberg, Erlangen, Fürth), HL Komm (Leipzig) and responsible for the operation of more than one hundred local and regional (island) networks . After the takeover of Deutsche Telekabel (DTK) by Primacom in early 2014 and its takeover by Tele Columbus in mid-2015 , the Pepcom Group as an affiliated company was briefly the fourth largest cable network operator in Germany with a total of around 630,000 customers behind Vodafone Kabel Deutschland , Unitymedia and Tele Columbus (including Primacom). This changed in September 2015 when the Pepcom group itself became a 100 percent subsidiary of Tele Columbus.
On October 4, 2017, Pepcom was merged into the newly created umbrella brand Pÿur .
history
The pepcom group was founded in 2001 and from August 2010 until the complete takeover by Tele Columbus in 2015 was a wholly owned subsidiary of the British private equity company Star Capital Partners Ltd. based in London. In June 2012 pepcom acquired the Leipzig city network operator HL Komm for 49.7 million euros in cash plus an old debt assumption of 11.6 million euros from the city of Leipzig . At the end of June 2015, the Pepcom Group announced plans to be the first German cable network operator to voluntarily give up its own network monopoly in order to open the coaxial cable networks to competition for the first time. This represents a profound turning point in the network foreclosure policy of the leading German cable network operators against potential third-party providers such as Telekom , Vodafone , Telefonica or United Internet , which has been common in Germany and is likely to promote the forced opening of the cable network as a conceivable antitrust regulatory requirement in future corporate mergers in the cable network operator sector .
On October 4, 2017, the pepcom group merged with Tele Columbus, HL komm and Primacom in the newly created umbrella brand Pÿur .
Products
Cable connection with analog and digital TV
Analogue and digital cable television via DVB-C was offered via the cable connection in its own expansion area, some of which was also obtained from other cable network operators as preliminary service providers.
Internet and telephony
Internet connections were offered under the “cablesurf” brand. On the other hand, pure telephone connections for private customers were sold under the “cablefon” brand. For business customers, comparable offers with up to 30 lines and 100 phone numbers with a symmetrical bandwidth of up to 100 Mbit / s were offered under the tariff names cablesurf “Business”, “Business Plus” and “Professional”.
Building and project management services
The company also offered services for infrastructural conversions - especially in the telemetry-related areas of cable network, home security or temperature-controlled heating (e.g. room temperature regulation via a broadband cable connection) - for housing associations, building cooperatives, owner associations and individual private owners.
