Bulgarian telco Vivacom grew its TV base by 9% last year to end 2017 with 447,000 pay TV customers, of which 46% took its IPTV service, up from 42% a year earlier.
The company now claims to be the country’s leading IPTV provider, with a 61% market share. The company said that demand was being driven by high-quality services with a superior user experience, rich content and HD channels.

The company said its investment in its fibre network remained a key priority.
