Overview

kabelplus: TL;DR

The short version. kabelplus GmbH is a regional cable and fiber internet, TV, and telephony provider serving Lower Austria and Burgenland. Founded in 1978 and wholly owned by the Lower Austrian energy utility EVN AG since 1998, it runs coax and fiber networks across around 253 municipalities from its base in Maria Enzersdorf. kabelplus competes on regional network quality rather than national reach, ranking among the top regional providers in the independent zafaco fixed-line internet test.

kabelplus Company Overview

kabelplus GmbH was founded on 4 January 1978, originally as kabelsignal Rundfunk-Vermittlungsanlagen GmbH, and today operates as a cable network operator and multimedia provider for Lower Austria and Burgenland. It is headquartered in Maria Enzersdorf, south of Vienna.

kabelplus is a 100% subsidiary of EVN AG, the Lower Austrian regional energy utility listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and majority-owned by the State of Lower Austria. EVN acquired full ownership of kabelplus in 1998, giving the ISP a stable utility parent rather than a private-equity or foreign infrastructure investor.

The company is led by managing directors Gerhard Haidvogel and Wolfgang Schäffer. Gerhard Haidvogel also serves as head of the telecommunications trade group in the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce.

kabelplus employed around 107 staff as of 30 September 2020 and describes itself as the largest cable operator in its region, reaching households and businesses across roughly 253 municipalities in Lower Austria and Burgenland.

kabelplus Product & Network Features

kabelplus runs a hybrid network: coaxial cable (DOCSIS) inherited from its origins as a cable-TV operator, plus fiber. It has used fiber as main supply lines since 1992 and has offered fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) in around 50 municipalities since 2014.

Residential internet is sold under the kabelNET brand, with cable speeds from 50 Mbit/s up to 500 Mbit/s downstream and unlimited data on every tier. A wireless waveNET option covers pockets where cable is not available, at lower 16/4 Mbit/s speeds.

kabelplus bundles internet with TV and telephony under its COMPLETE Magic TV packages, which include around 130 digital channels and a Magic TV UHD set-top box. It also resells mobile plans as kabelplusMOBILE, an MVNO offering, from around EUR 4.99 per month.

kabelplus participates as an internet service provider and network operator in Lower Austria's subsidised open-access fiber programme under the nöGIG (Niederoesterreichische Glasfaserinfrastrukturgesellschaft) model, which lets residents on those networks choose among competing providers.

kabelplus Target Market

kabelplus targets residential households and small businesses within its cable and fiber footprint in Lower Austria and Burgenland. Its typical customer lives in a town or municipality where kabelplus already owns the local cable or fiber network rather than a national carrier.

The provider suits users who want a bundled internet, TV, and telephone package from a single regional operator, with a physical local presence and German-language service, rather than the cheapest nationwide mobile-first tariff.

Because coverage is strictly regional, kabelplus is not an option for customers outside its Lower Austria and Burgenland network area, where national operators such as A1, Magenta, and Drei, or other regional providers, apply instead.

How kabelplus compares

kabelplus is NOT the same as Magenta (which acquired UPC Austria). kabelplus is an independent regional provider focused on Lower Austria and Burgenland. kabelplus is distinct from LIWEST (Upper Austria) and from Fonira (fiber-only provider). kabelplus ranked third among regional providers in the 2025 zafaco internet quality test.

Comparison

kabelplus Competitive Landscape

kabelplus is a regional operator, so it does not compete nationally the way A1 does. Its most direct comparison is with other utility-backed regional cable and fiber providers such as LIWEST in Upper Austria, while national carriers like A1 overlap wherever they also serve Lower Austria and Burgenland.

In the independent 2025 zafaco fixed-line internet test, kabelplus scored 1.59, ranking third among the tested regional providers behind Salzburg AG (1.38) and LIWEST (1.44). Among national providers in the same test, Magenta led on 1.34 and A1 followed on 1.40. The test ran from 28 April to 25 May 2025 and collected over 1.1 million measurements across 55 criteria.

User sentiment

kabelplus User Sentiment

The most reliable independent signal for kabelplus is the zafaco Austrian fixed-line internet test, which rates connection quality rather than opinion. kabelplus scored 1.59 (good) and ranked third among regional providers in 2025, then improved to 1.48 (very good) and second among regional providers in 2026, indicating steady quality gains.

No large-volume, independently aggregated consumer-review score (for example a Trustpilot or Google rating with a verifiable review count) specific to kabelplus was identified during research. Sentiment claims beyond the zafaco quality result should therefore be treated as unverified.

Company

kabelplus Financial Performance

kabelplus is privately held as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the listed EVN AG, and EVN does not break out standalone kabelplus results in its recent group reporting. The most recent published company-specific figures are dated: revenue of about EUR 68.8 million in fiscal year 2019/20 and around 107 employees as of 30 September 2020.

As of 30 September 2020, kabelplus reported roughly 114,000 television customers, about 94,000 broadband internet customers, and around 73,000 telephony and mobile customers. More recent subscriber and revenue figures specific to kabelplus were not publicly disclosed at the time of writing.

Ownership by EVN AG, which is majority-controlled by the State of Lower Austria, gives kabelplus a utility-backed balance sheet, but detailed current financials for the telecom subsidiary are not separately published.

kabelplus Recent Developments

In December 2025 and early January 2026, kabelplus acquired 100% of Speed Connect Austria, a rural fiber network builder that had entered insolvency in June 2025. The restructuring plan was court-confirmed on 12 December 2025, and the acquired business was rebranded fiberplus, extending kabelplus's open-access FTTH reach into rural areas of Austria as part of the EVN Group (reported by Extrajournal, 8 January 2026).

In the 2026 zafaco Austrian fixed-line internet test, kabelplus rose to second place among regional providers with a score of 1.48, behind Salzburg AG (1.27), with all three regional operators rated very good. That is an improvement on its 2025 result.

kabelplus ran a promotion of 25% off for 24 months on new orders and upgrades, valid through 31 May 2026, with the one-off setup fee cut to EUR 19.90 from EUR 119.90.

kabelplus continues to expand fiber via the nöGIG open-access model and through selective takeovers of local cable networks in its region.
