Slovak telecommunications market restructuring

Overview

The Slovak telecommunications and television market is undergoing significant technological upgrades and structural consolidation.

In late September 2026, Slovak Telekom began implementing upgrades to its digital services, including the launch of XGS-PON optical internet technology capable of speeds up to 2.5 Gbit/s for over 1.1 million households. The company also overhauled its Magio TV streaming service with a modernized interface and new subscription tiers.

By mid-October 2026, broader market restructuring became evident. Major shifts included the transition of satellite provider Skylink to the Canal+ brand and the merger of Digi Slovakia into Slovak Telekom. Additionally, O2 announced plans to merge with UPC, and Swan (operator of 4ka) moved to acquire Slovanet. Amidst these consolidations, Slovak Telekom implemented price increases for its Magio TV packages, while maintaining a ‘Šport Premium’ option for 12 euros per month.
