Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many industries, premier telecommunications company Eastern Communications reported a 7% customer growth from 2019.
The company attributed the growth to increased subscribers acquiring single to multiple services such as work-from-home productivity tools, residential internet, and enterprise connectivity because of the sudden rise of demand for internet service.
Eastern Communications highlighted a variety of adaptive end-to-end solutions which included Eastern Cloud, Office 365, Eastern CyberDefense, and Eastern Home.
It said expansion efforts in Region 4A, Region 5, Region 6, and more were ongoing to support nationwide services, especially the underserviced communities.
“Like many other companies, Eastern Communications was also impacted by the pandemic, but we took it as a challenge to be proactive and educate people on the solutions they could leverage on to be agile and steady in this era,” Michael Castañeda, head of Eastern Communications sales division, said.
