Teleboy Speed Test — Swiss Streaming-First ISP
Teleboy began life as a free Swiss IPTV streaming platform before evolving into a full internet service provider. This origin story shapes everything about the company: Teleboy's core product is television, with internet as the connectivity layer that makes it work. It is the anti-Swisscom — small, digital-native, and built around streaming rather than legacy telecom infrastructure.
Teleboy delivers broadband via Swisscom's OTO fibre socket using wholesale access. Technically, the fibre coming into your apartment is Swisscom's. Teleboy buys capacity on this infrastructure and packages it with its TV platform for a lower combined price than buying Swisscom internet and a separate TV service.
Teleboy Plans
| Plan | Download | Upload | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TV S + Internet | 100 Mbps | 20 Mbps | 100+ Swiss TV channels |
| TV M + Internet | 300 Mbps | 60 Mbps | 200+ channels, replay 7 days |
| TV L + Internet | 1,000 Mbps | 100 Mbps | All channels, 30-day replay |
Every Teleboy internet plan includes TV — there is no internet-only option. This bundling makes Teleboy attractive for households that watch Swiss German, French, or Italian TV channels regularly.
Swisscom Infrastructure — What Teleboy Shares
Since Teleboy resells Swisscom's FTTH/FTTB network, your physical connection quality is identical to a Swisscom subscriber. The OTO socket (Optical Telecommunications Outlet) on your wall is the same one Swisscom uses. Your speed depends on:
- Whether your building has FTTH (fibre to the apartment) or FTTB (fibre to the basement, copper to your unit)
- The quality of your indoor Ethernet/Wi-Fi setup
- Teleboy's wholesale capacity allocation from Swisscom
Teleboy Speed Test FAQs
Is Teleboy internet the same as Swisscom? The physical fibre connection is Swisscom's — you use the same OTO socket. But Teleboy manages the service, pricing, and TV platform independently. Speeds may occasionally be slightly lower due to wholesale capacity allocation.
Can I get Teleboy TV without their internet? Yes. Teleboy started as a free IPTV platform. You can still use Teleboy TV over any Swiss internet connection via browser, smart TV app, or the Teleboy mobile app. The paid TV plans add more channels and replay features.
Why can't I get Teleboy internet at my address? Teleboy requires a Swisscom OTO fibre socket. If your building only has older copper or cable connections, Teleboy internet isn't available. Check coverage at teleboy.ch by entering your address.
Is Teleboy cheaper than Swisscom? Usually yes for the TV+Internet bundle. But Teleboy's maximum speed is typically lower than Swisscom's top tiers (no 10 Gbps option), and the wholesale nature means Swisscom's direct customers may get priority during network congestion.
What's the OTO socket? The Optical Telecommunications Outlet — a wall-mounted fibre termination point installed by Swisscom in Swiss buildings. It's the Swiss equivalent of a fibre ONT. If your apartment has this white box with an LC fibre connector, you can use Teleboy, Swisscom, or other OTO-based providers.
Swiss Broadband Alternatives
- Swisscom — The infrastructure owner. Highest speeds (up to 10 Gbps) and best consistency, but premium pricing. Worth it if you need maximum performance.
- Quickline — Regional cable provider in the German-speaking heartland. Independent HFC network, not Swisscom resale.
- Sunrise — Major Swiss competitor with its own infrastructure in urban areas.
- Salt — Mobile-first provider with fixed broadband, focusing on aggressive pricing.
Teleboy support: Available via chat and email at teleboy.ch/support. For connection issues involving the OTO socket or physical fibre, Swisscom's technicians may need to be involved (coordinated by Teleboy).
