WINNIPEG – The rapid growth of the digital television business at Manitoba Telecom Services is continuing.
Less than two years after launch, DSL-delivered MTS TV has really taken it to incumbent cable operator Shaw Cable and has surpassed the 50,000-customer mark and is now approaching 25% penetration in Winnipeg.
"This week we signed on our 50,000th TV customer, and MTS TV continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with over 87% of Winnipeg homes now eligible for the service," said MTS president Cheryl Barker. "The demand has been outstanding, and we hear from our customers all the time how impressed they are with our all-digital service, the unparalleled choice in channel packaging, cool features like call display on your TV screen, and on demand services such as video on demand."
"After looking at all of our options, MTS TV offered the best programming choices at the best price," said MTS Bundles customer Brian Ryall, as quoted in the MTS press release. "The additional savings of $15 a month by bundling the service with MTS High Speed Internet and MTS cellular are a real bonus."
