Dutch operator VodafoneZiggo’s first quarter results were heavily impacted by the intensely competitive environment, particularly in the fixed market.
The Dutch cable operator has lost 31,000 connected homes during the first three months of the year, following 2024 when the cabler lost an average of around 10,000 homes per month. The reason is the fast roll out of fibre to the home with multiple providers offering TV and broadband services including former incumbent KPN, Odido and Delta.
During the quarter, VodafoneZiggo launched new front book propositions which are the first part of a wider strategic plan to regain commercial momentum. While the new strategic plan and market environment will impact VodafoneZiggo’s 2025 guidance, notably driving a steeper than expected Adj. EBITDA decline, it will position the company for growth and future-proof the network through an accelerated DOCSIS 4.0 upgrade plan.
