History

The company started out as Telecable de Oviedo, Telecable de Gijón and Telecable de Avilés in 1995. In December 1998 it is given a license to work in all Asturias. From 2011, it started deploying a fiber network infrastructure in another Spanish region, Extremadura. [1]

In 2015 the company was acquired by Zegona Communications plc for a sum of 640 million euros. [2]

In October 2017, it was announced that Euskaltel had reached an agreement with Zegona to purchase its Asturian subsidiary Telecable for an amount of 686 million euros, which could be increased to 701 million euros. [3]

In 2019, after the acquisition of R (R Cable y Telecomunicaciones Galicia, S.A.U.) and Telecable (Telecable de Asturias, S.A.U.) by Euskaltel, the first company merged with the second through absorption, forming a new entity named R Cable y Telecable Telecomunicaciones, S.A.U. [4]
