Telia reported another quarter of service momentum in Sweden, with fixed consumer services up by more than 5%, driven by TV and broadband. The operator said customer additions were strong across mobile, broadband and TV, underpinned by refreshed offers and a focus on service quality.
Management flagged plans to extend those consumer propositions in 2026 via the proposed acquisition of alternative ISP Bredband2, which is intended to broaden reach into new customer segments. Telia expects the deal to close by Q1 2026, subject to approvals.
Across the group, Sweden and the Baltics remained the growth engines for service revenue, while Norway saw pressure from lower mobile wholesale traffic and a challenging fixed line business. Finland showed stable revenue with improving profitability as Telia pushes to stabilise mobile share and turn around SME.
Following the completion of the TV and Media divestment on 1 July, Telia is leaning into connectivity-led bundles and digital safety add-ons. The Telia Safe security app is now available in every Telia market, supporting its push around high-security connectivity for consumers and enterprises.
CEO Patrik Hofbauer said the country-led model is lifting customer satisfaction and service quality, with Sweden continuing to set the pace on commercial execution—particularly in TV and fibre broadband.
