Yet another Nordic operator benchmark in 2026 – and the first-ever Baltic operator benchmark

Reference: Benchmarks, 2026

Born in 2013 and developed since, Tefficient’s comprehensive telco business benchmark delivered in 2026 as heavyweight operators across the Nordic participated – but also, for the first time with its own unique peer group, heavyweight operators from the three Baltic countries.

All participating operators have now been through comprehensive and tailored presentations of their 987 key performance indicators (KPIs) resulting in Tefficient’s operator-specific recommendations. Covering crucial areas such as revenue, operating costs, CAPEX, headcount productivity, subscriptions & channels, performance, load, quality, and innovation & growth, this benchmark caters to 53 functions across mobile, fixed, and integrated operators.

Evaluating mobile service value for money across 12 EU countries, 2025

Reference: Analysis, 2025

The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.

In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money, spanning twelve EU and Euro countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain. A similar analysis was done in 2024.

EETT has today published a press release introducing the new analysis.

The findings are summarised as:

“Greece’s value-for-money position is no longer among the weakest in the peer group. It has moved away from lower-performing countries such as Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and now aligns more closely with Spain and France. Greece’s trajectory remains promising, driven by the fastest growth in both data and voice usage across the peer group.”

EETT has commissioned this analysis, and made it available for download in English at the bottom of this page.

The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.

In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money for fixed broadband and telephony services, spanning twelve EU countries: Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and Spain.

While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.

Key conclusions for Greece include:

While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.

Key conclusions for Greece include:

  • Mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is approximately on par but with a notable increase
  • Mobile data usage is low but exhibits the most significant growth
  • Voice usage is the highest among the peer group but continues to see robust growth
  • The total mobile revenue per gigabyte of mobile data is high but demonstrates a marked decrease
  • Voice revenue per mobile voice minute aligns with the median and experiences median erosion
  • In terms of value for money, Greece ranks weaker in data offerings compared to most of its peers but stronger than most in voice services

Several selected example graphs are presented below.

Public Wi-Fi: Lost in transition to 5G?

Two years ago, telcos were still proudly reporting their progress in utilisation of their own public Wi-Fi hotspots for cost efficient offloading of mobile data. Public Wi-Fi was also positioned as an investment in a better customer experience – especially in public indoor environments. Telcos that were late with 4G – such as in Taiwan and Belgium – could utilise their public Wi-Fi to bridge the transition from 3G to 4G.

You can find this in our telco Wi-Fi analysis from September 2016.

But something changed. Continue reading Public Wi-Fi: Lost in transition to 5G? →

In fiber, leadership is created with a shovel

Certain European incumbents are betting on that copper access will be sufficient for the future communication needs of households and smaller businesses.

But where most incumbents regard copper-based DSL technologies as a fallback for areas where fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) deployment isn’t financially feasible (or not yet rolled out), a few seem to be determined that copper is it.

Price erosion and low customer loyalty put mobile operators in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia under pressure

LTLVEEPress release

For two years in a row, leading operators in Sweden, Finland and Norway have been benchmarked against a local operator peer group through a practice led by tefficient. The results reinforce the rationale behind local benchmarking: In order to improve, operators need focused, fact-based and local input.

It’s time to give a similar tool to mobile operators in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

“We strongly feel something needs to be done”, says Allan Greve at tefficient. “Very little analysis focuses on the specifics of these three markets and we intend to change this.”
