The optical network reached 90,000 km: Ukrtelecom summed up the first quarter of 2025
As of the end of the first quarter of 2025, Ukrtelecom’s optical network reached 90,000 km of fiber-optic lines — the largest optical telecommunications infrastructure in Ukraine, the company claims. This scale allows for the possibility of connecting to modern services for more than 3 million households (homepass) across the country. According to plans for 2025, the company will lay another 6,000 km of optics.

According to plans for 2025, the company will lay another 6,000 km of optics.
This was reported to dev.ua by the press service of JSC Ukrtelecom.
To develop optical infrastructure at the access network level, the company uses the FTTH/P architecture based on GPON technology, which ensures stable, high-speed, and energy-independent Internet use even during prolonged external power outages.
In the first quarter of 2025, the number of new B2C subscribers to the optical network increased by 21.7% compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, about 30 medical and almost 50 educational institutions were connected to the company's optical network last quarter. In total, high-speed Internet from Ukrtelecom is already available in more than 1,330 medical and 1,800 educational institutions across the country.
In the first three months of 2025, Ukrtelecom's total revenue increased to UAH 1.17 billion, which is 3.5% more than in the same period last year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) amounted to over UAH 162 million, and EBITDA margin decreased by 10 pp compared to the same quarter last year.
"Its decrease is largely due to a significant increase in electricity costs due to an almost 50% increase in tariffs compared to last year," the company noted.
In the reporting quarter, Ukrtelecom paid about UAH 400 million in taxes and fees to budgets of all levels.
