Andorra Telecom will increase prices for its fibre-optic TV services starting with February billing, affecting private subscribers with hikes of €1-2 monthly while bars and hotels face rises of up to 41%, driven by new rates from content provider Movistar Plus+.
The adjustments, detailed in a notice published Wednesday in the *Boletín Oficial del Principat d'Andorra* (BOPA) and signed by director general Jordi Nadal, mainly target private customers. Increases generally match the projected consumer price index (IPC), though the basic Movistar Plus+ package rises €1 from €21 to €22—a 4.7% jump above average. Other affected options include Movistar Plus+ Ficción, Plus+ Deportes, Total Plus (from €70 to €72), and packages for LaLiga and the Champions League. Some redesigns could lead to larger effective increases for certain subscribers. Private TV packages still require an active fibre internet subscription.
Professional packages for public venues see sharper changes. Bars and hotels previously paid a flat €340 monthly fee, primarily for sports broadcasts. From February, rates will differentiate by type: bars rise €29 to €369 (8.5% increase), while hotels jump €139 to €479 (nearly 41% hike). Andorra Telecom states these reflect Movistar's updated pricing policy, with existing agreements allowing no flexibility. Other business TV rates remain unchanged.
The operator has justified the moves as necessary to ensure service viability and content quality amid Movistar's review. Customers can contact usual support channels for details.
