“MGTS constantly works to improve its data transmission network, which allows providing broadband Internet access services of high qualityâ€, said the general director’s deputy, Victor Alekhin, from MGTS. “We expect subscriber growth, especially after the beginning of sales of services under our own brand, therefore we increase the installed base."
