TV and the Internet

All of our tenants have a fiber-optic outlet in their apartment, and a basic selection of TV channels is included in the rent. The providers and sign-up procedures differ between regular apartments and most of our student apartments. Information for students can be found at the bottom of the page.
TV

Order broadband and TV through Zmarket

Your fiber services are provided by Telia under the Zitius brand.

You can order broadband and TV through zmarket.se, where you choose the provider and services that best suit your needs.

Customer Service and Support: 020-20 20 70

You can order services no earlier than two weeks before your move-in date. The activation date should be set no earlier than your move-in date; otherwise, there is a risk that the previous tenant’s services will block the connection.

Broadband

You sign up for a broadband subscription directly with the provider you choose through Zmarket.

You can get information about speeds, prices, and support from each provider. Some also offer TV services.

You also have the option to sign up for free broadband (2/2 Mbit/s) through:

  • Broadband2
  • Train Station
  • Junet

This can be ordered via zmarket.se; select the " Broadband" menu.

Each apartment has at least one broadband outlet (RJ45).

TV

You can sign up for a TV subscription with any provider on zmarket.se.

Free TV channels included in the rent

As a tenant, you can sign up for a free digital TV package in HD. This service is currently provided by Telia, but the provider may change.

The package is called " Telia TV and Streaming Starter" and includes:

  • SVT1
  • SVT2
  • TV4
  • SVT Kids
  • SVT24
  • The Knowledge Channel
  • Axess TV.

The channel lineup is subject to change over time.

Here's how to activate the free offer: 

  1. Go to telia.se/aktivera
  2. Enter your address and apartment number
  3. Activate the services and Telia Play

After activation, the equipment will be shipped to the nearest pickup location (approximately 2–3 days). Manuals and help are available at telia.se/komigang or through Telia Support: 020‑20 20 70.

The free TV package can also be ordered by phone by contacting Telia at 020-20 20 70. Tell them you’d like to order Telia TV and Streaming Start. You’ll also need to provide your home address and apartment number. Telia always verifies its customers’ identities; if you can’t verify your identity using BankID, you can request a personal code to be sent to your home instead.

Installation Help

If you'd like help setting up your TV box at home, you can request free installation assistance from Telia: 020-20 20 70.

Telephony

  • Properties built before 2006: landline service available via a phone jack
  • Properties built after 2006: no landline service—use broadband phone service or a cell phone

Here's how to use the data outlet in your apartment

Your apartment has two or three data jacks. Your main jack is the one labeled "IN." The "IN" port is where you receive the incoming fiber signal. If you want to route the signal to outlet 1 or 2 (if you have two other outlets), use the short patch cable provided and connect it between the IN port and the desired outlet, 1 or 2. To access the outlets, you’ll first need to remove the cover that’s over them.

For those of you who have more services than just TV

Do you have more than one fiber-based service, such as both a broadband service and a TV service? If so, a media converter (CPE) will automatically be sent to you. It allows you to split the services and thus use them wherever you want in your apartment. For example, you can use the broadband service at your main outlet and then route the TV service to the outlet in the living room.
