About
Movistar Argentina, a subsidiary of Telefónica, is an ISP and Network Operator that owns and operates its own full-fibre and copper-based infrastructure while selling broadband internet (up to 2 Gbps symmetric via fiber), mobile, fixed telephony, and IPTV services directly to residential and business consumers nationwide in Argentina since its rebranding in 2005 from Telefónica Unifón and Movicom BellSouth (with roots in Telefónica de Argentina founded in 1990), with major milestones including the launch of ADSL broadband in 1999, 4G LTE in December 2014, LTE-A in November 2017, and Movistar Fibra FTTH rollout starting around 2010; the organization no longer exists in its independent state as of 2025, having been acquired by Telecom Argentina for US$1.5 billion earlier in the year, though it continues operations under the Movistar brand as an integrated unit within the parent company (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source).
Operator Characteristics
Retail-only ISP?
No
(2025-01-01)
Movistar Argentina is not retail-only; because Movistar Argentina builds and operates its proprietary FTTP and ADSL networks alongside retailing services to consumers, including direct sales of fiber internet bundles up to 2 Gbps via its website, stores, and dedicated business support (Source), (Source), (Source).
Wholesale-only Network Operator?
No
(2025-01-01)
Movistar Argentina is not wholesale-only; as Movistar Argentina primarily retails broadband and telecom services directly to end-users through consumer and business plans while offering limited wholesale access like infrastructure sharing and leased lines to other operators, but wholesale is not its exclusive model (Source), (Source), (Source).
Business-only ISP?
No
(2025-01-01)
Movistar Argentina is not business-only; since Movistar Argentina offers fiber and ADSL broadband plans to both residential households (e.g., Movistar Fibra up to 2 Gbps with TV bundles) and businesses (e.g., dedicated data communications, cloud, and IoT solutions) nationwide, catering to diverse consumer and enterprise segments (Source), (Source), (Source).
Movistar Argentina owns Movistar Argentina ADSL, a copper-based last-mile network delivering broadband access up to 20-50 Mbps in regions transitioning to fiber or lacking FTTH coverage, leveraging legacy fixed-line infrastructure from Telefónica de Argentina (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source).
Movistar Argentina owns Movistar Argentina FTTP, a proprietary fiber-to-the-premises network branded as Movistar Fibra providing symmetric high-speed broadband up to 2 Gbps in urban areas like Greater Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Tucumán, with expansions since around 2010 to support residential and business triple-play services (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source).
