Vodafone changeover: New frequencies for millions of cable customers!
The television world is facing a big change. From summer 2025, Vodafone will be moving numerous TV channels to new frequencies, and this will affect an enormous number of customers. This change is part of a comprehensive modernization of the cable network, which is particularly aimed at higher speeds for Internet, telephone and TV. AwayJuly 2025The frequency reallocation begins in several regions, including in the former Unitymedia areas in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg, such as kabelnetz-blog.de reported.
The change has its roots in Vodafone's takeover of Unitymedia in 2019. Since then, there have been two different frequency systems, which have made the efficient use of the cable network more difficult. Vodafone will now standardize the frequency routes in order to reduce capacity by up to 30 percent. This creates the technical basis for higher internet speeds, and the customer base is already reacting with anticipation to tax relief. It is then possible to achieve gigabit download speeds and at least 50 Mbit/s upload speeds with DOCSIS 3.1.

This is how you react correctly
How do you react to the changes? Customers will be informed of their individual changeover date by letter or email. It is recommended that you keep this notification in a safe place. After the switch, your favorites and scheduled recordings will need to be set up again unless automatic channel placement is enabled. To resolve possible malfunctions, we recommend unplugging the television for a short period of time. If problems persist, the device should be reset to factory settings.
The changes may cause some inconveniences, but switching to the new technology is worth the money. Vodafone is using the opportunity to optimize the channel lists and create new capacities. The company also offers support on the hotline0800 172 12 12.

The change only affects Vodafone cable customers. Users of GigaTV boxes can remain relaxed as they are not affected by this change. It remains exciting to see how the digital landscape will be shaped by the new frequencies.
