Rates for mobile phones, in which adjustment to inflation is provided, generally becomes 2.9 percent more expensive on April. The adjustment of the index now uses the mobile phone and fiber optic provider Spusu to stir the advertising barrel for itself: you do not participate.
“We have no index adjustment in mobile communication,” said Spusu boss Franz Pichler. Exceptions to this are fiber optic internet with unlimited performance, where the steady extra consumption must be calculated.
“After many consumers had to accept an inflation -related increase of almost 8 percent in the previous year, 2.9 percent will be reopened this year. The VPI has increased by a total of 27.1 percent since 2020, ”Pichler calculated the index adjustments in mobile communication. In Austria, about half of all rates for mobile phones are safe.
Criticism of the government: The expansion of the fiber optic is the financing of the construction sector
Pichler shares the criticism of competitors of the government’s fiber optic financing. This would support the construction companies, but not the mobile operators and not the customers. If the political managers want a higher connection quota for the broadband internet, they must promote the customer’s connection, the Spusu founder emphasizes.
The need for fast internet is there, the notification of spusu from the increased demand for 5G offers. Pichler recommends switching to many users to the latest generation of mobile phones, because the network operators are increasingly deducted from 4G for 5G. Consultation would be carried out for the next frequency auction. It is important here that the network operators continue to deliver their antennas such as Spusu at competitive prices, Pichler said. Spusu benefits the network of three, explained the Spusu boss.
100,000 new customers in the previous year
In 2024, Spusu had the highest sales year with an increase of 100,000 customers. He did not notice that consumers would save. The payment morality is also good as always. Pichler also attributes this to customer service, which – like others – was not outsourced, but was part of the company in Austria.
In addition, funeral work is carried out for laying fiber optics with a separate construction team, which also seals the holes in the right way, which is involved in the good atmosphere among the local residents. In Austria, Spusu is already the third largest fiber optical provider.
Annual turnover 2024 of 81 million euros
That Pichler, he leads Spusu as a lower Austrian family business without an investor, also produces wine and e-bikes in his home country, fits well with the slogan of his company, Pichler said. “Live better with Spusu,” says Pichler. Spusu is also not a discount, but a quality provider at very affordable prices, he explained.
Spusu was founded in 2015 by Pichler and, according to its own information, more than 650,000 customers. The annual turnover 2024 was 81 million euros. Spusu is currently working in Austria, Italy, Great Britain and Switzerland. Pichler has also produced his own e-bikes “made in Austria” since 2022. In May 2023, Spusu entered the wine industry.
