TOYA is a Polish cable and digital television and telecommunications provider with headquarters in Łódź. The company's network covers eight cities – Łódź, Kraków, Mysłowice, Kutno, Przemyśl, Piotrków Trybunalski, Pisz and Pabianice. TOYA products and services are available in thirteen partner networks of other operators across 25 locations.
The limited company was founded in 1991 in Łódź by Witold Krawczyk and Jacek Kobierzycki.[1] It was one of the first Polish companies permitted to offer Internet services – as early as 1999; the following year it had 1000 subscribers. In 2004 the service was extended to include subscribers in Przemyśl and Mysłowice.
By early 2006, TOYA's network in the eight cities covered over 80% of the area of each city. In October 2008, TOYA took over Pol-Net – a cable TV company from Piotrków Trybunalski; in 2017 it acquired the Kraków-based T-MONT.
According to the Polish Chamber for Electronic Communication (PIKE), the number of TOYA's subscribers in March 2010 was approximately 160,000 – the company came fourth on the list of the largest cable network operators in Poland. The 2017 PIKE statistics position TOYA in fifth place, with 175,000 subscribers in July.[2] Additionally, the company provides access to its services to around 90,000 subscribers of partner networks.[3]
TOYA was the first Polish cable TV provider to offer triple play (Internet, telephone, and TV) model packages to its customers.[1]
