Technology and innovation
Since 1969 we have been a pioneer in the development of TV and broadband. Today we are characterized by our entrepreneurship, and the desire to break barriers by offering innovative and easy-to-use solutions.
Get was Europe's first cable company to test 1,000 Mbps in 2013. We are now working on establishing Gigabit capacity for all customers.
We currently cooperate closely with the world's leading technology companies, and a number of our innovations are sold as solutions elsewhere around the world.
