BREKO Federal Association for Broadband Communication

The Federal Association for Broadband Communication (BREKO) represents the majority of German fixed-line competitors.

BREKO Association

As the leading fiber optic association with 540 member companies, the Federal Association for Broadband Communication (BREKO) successfully promotes competition in the German telecommunications market. Its members are clearly committed to future-proof fiber optics and are currently responsible for more than half of the expansion of fiber optic connections to buildings and homes. The more than 260 telecommunications network operators organized in the association supply both metropolitan areas and rural areas with future-proof fiber optic connections.

In its latest market analysis for 2025, BREKO shows that fiber optic expansion in Germany is continuing to progress. As of mid-2025, the fiber optic expansion rate stands at 52.8 percent, with 27.3 percent* of households connected. However, as fiber optic expansion is slowing down across the country, BREKO is calling on the federal government to finally take effective measures. At €15.3 billion, total investment in fiber optic and mobile network expansion is at a record level. More information on the current market analysis can be found here.

BREKO has now become a strong alliance comprising the BREKO association, the BREKO purchasing group, and the BREKO service company. In this alliance, we combine the strengths of our members to strengthen competition in the German telecommunications market!
