The first quarter of 2009 in comparison with the end of the first quarter of 2008 is marked by still favourable 15% growth in the number of broadband accesses in an exceptionally competitive market.

The growth of IPTV (SiOL TV) services is a consequence of the construction of new broadband (primarily FTTH) access and competitive offers, especially of services packages. Cable television connections are marketed in packages and independently with FTTH access, which stood at 6,555 connections at the end of March 2009, which is 3.7 times more than at the end of the first quarter of 2008.
