[edit] Packages & Prices
Cablecom operates three separate main grids for the German speaking region (Deutschschweiz), the french speaking region (Romandie) and the Italian speaking region (Ticino) of Switzerland, based on the main spoken language of the served communities. Therefore the available television and radio channels differ between the three grids.
