Winning the No.1 Internet Provider award is yet another proof that we are going the right way," as per Vladimir Sachkov, Technical Director at A1. "When choosing A1, users opt for a reliable Internet provider that offers an all-in-one product.

This approach allows customers to benefit from a full range of telecom services from one and the same provider and at a great price.
