SUCCESS STORIES

Tellas

Tellas, the joint venture of PPC SA and the Italian Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, launched its commercial operation in 2003. This operator was the first to provide the Greek public with innovative fixed telephony services, Internet access services, combined services of fixed telephony and Internet as well as broadband services for all market segments: residential users, professionals, small enterprises and large companies.

At the end of 2005, Tellas has become the largest alternative telecom carrier in Greece. In terms of network infrastructures, with a national optical fibre backbone network of 2.5 Gb/s capacity and with an optical fibre Metropolitan Networks developing in some of the biggest Greek cities, Tellas can today provide its customers with high quality services. In fact, more than 1800 km are already in operation, connecting the main Greek cities and Attica urban areas.
