WINNIPEG – MTS has brought its MTS Ultimate TV service to Steinbach and Dauphin, MB.
Delivering over 55 HD channels and whole home PVR, the service is available via MTS's new fibre optic network (FiON) to 95% of Winnipeg households as well as in Brandon, Portage La Prairie, and Selkirk.
FiON supplies a huge amount of bandwidth directly into MTS customers' homes, providing support for current telephone and high-speed Internet services, while laying the groundwork for delivering new services such as MTS Ultimate TV. Approximately 1,960 homes in Steinbach are now eligible for FiON connection, while in Dauphin, approximately 2,270 houses representing over 60% of residences are already passed by FiON and eligible for fibre connection and the company's Ultimate TV service.
The launch of FiON in the two communities is part of MTS's announcement last year to invest $125 million in the expansion of its fibre-to-the-home network over five years. By the end of 2015, MTS said that it expects to deploy fibre to about 120,000 homes in over 20 Manitoba communities.
