About Telecable
Telecable was founded in 1995 as a cable operator serving the Asturias region of northern Spain.

Euskaltel acquired Telecable in 2017, consolidating the northern regional operators.
Following MasMovil's acquisition of Euskaltel in 2021 and the subsequent merger with Orange Spain in 2024, Telecable became part of MasOrange. The company is headquartered in Gijon and continues to operate as a distinct regional brand with strong customer loyalty in Asturias.
