Bigger network: Giga speeds for over 90% of households
Sunrise UPC offers the fastest network and is the leading giga speed provider in Switzerland. Thanks to its hybrid network, consisting of fiber optics, a cable network and a 5G mobile network, Sunrise UPC is able to offer Sunrise We with giga speeds to over 90% of households. None of its competitors can match this, and comparative tests show that Sunrise UPC has Switzerland's fastest and most reliable 5G network as well as the fastest fiber optic and cable network. This makes the Sunrise UPC fiber hybrid network the leader in Switzerland.
The most recent Broadband Benchmark 2021 by PC Magazin and PCgo also comes to the conclusion that Sunrise UPC offers the best Internet in Switzerland. In a quest to identify the best overall user experience, more than 7.9 million measurement values were evaluated, and Sunrise UPC as the test winner outshone the competition. PC Magazin noted in the report: 'With this merger, a strong network operator emerged that raised expectations with its blend of the UPC broadband cable infrastructure and the Sunrise fiber optic network. Sunrise UPC as the favorite fully satisfied these expectations as the overall winner in Switzerland in our fixed network comparison.' Full details can be found in the PC Magazin.
While UPC Mobile customers have already been using the Sunrise mobile network since last spring, Sunrise customers will also start benefitting from the UPC fiber optic cable network as part of the extended Sunrise We offer as of October 11. Anyone who now purchases a We Home subscription or a We Combo, for example, will always automatically receive the best broadband connection available locally for their respective offer, as well as all services from a single source. This offer is particularly attractive for both households and small businesses.
New TV: Sunrise TV is setting the benchmark
Sunrise UPC is also setting standards when it comes to entertainment. The new Sunrise TV is based on the UPC TV platform, one of the most modern solutions in Europe. The new Sunrise TV offers a redesigned user interface that UPC customers will also benefit from. The option to set up multiple user profiles means every person in the household can access their personal favorite programs and recommendations at the touch of a button. With integrated streaming apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sky Show, Sky Sports and many more, as well as our own video-on-demand store for renting the latest blockbuster movies, there is a wealth of entertainment at your fingertips: Over 275 channels, 7 days of Replay, 2,000 hours of recordings and MySports One are all included in the basic package.
The new Sunrise TV Box does what you say and can be controlled remotely via voice commands. In addition, the new Sunrise TV Box will wow users with its simple plug & play installation, its compact, award-winning design (reddot winner 2021) and its eco-friendliness (35% recycled plastic, no plastic packaging, power supply via TV-USB connection, power consumption of less than 5 watts, Sustainability Award 2020 winner).
The Sunrise UPC TV App rounds off the company's superb TV offering. Since identical channel lists, recordings, watchlists and the ability to seamlessly view programs on any device (Continued Watching) are available for each user profile, the Sunrise UPC TV App ensures the same level of convenience even when you're on the go. Using the app, it's possible to watch all your favorite movies and series via Apple TV, various smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and laptops
