WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao - August 31, 2020 TDS customers who currently receive their television service via the company’s legacy wireless multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) are in line for a major upgrade.
Over the coming weeks, those TDS customers will have greater access to cutting-edge TV products and services, as the company moves to permanently shut down the end of life TDS TV platform and transfer these customer to the new feature rich, high definition, advanced video service (AVS) via cable.
“We are committed to providing industry -leading connectivity and entertainment solutions, so we are treating these migrations as a priority with the ultimate goal of delivering the very best value and service experience,” said Danny Macaya, Country manager Dutch Caribbean.
“Over the past months we have been piloting, testing and improving our migration process and we are ready to continue with our roll out. Once migrated to the new AVS platform, customers will be able to enjoy faster, more reliable connections, along with access to a suite of innovative TV features such as replay and ‘catch up’ TV, video on demand and a host of other benefits that are not available on the legacy platform.”
Mr. Macaya said it was important to note the company’s investment in migrating the customers served by the end of life TDS platform onto the new AVS platform is part of its obligation to comply with current regulation where the concession to use the wireless MMDS network is coming to an end. As a result, customers who did not migrate to the new AVS platform will experience a loss of service.
“While this is a big project and represents a change in the way customers receive TV service we also want to emphasise that no customer will be disadvantaged as this was a bold new step into evolving our TV product. While, at this time we are focused on migrating our TDS customers specifically, we will soon start to migrate other segments of customers using a phased approach and we ask for patience during this time,” he said.
The company is proactively contacting these customers to schedule service migration appointments in order to avoid service interruption. All migrations of customers served by TDS must be scheduled and completed by the end of this year.
“This is an important evolution in the way we deliver television services and we certainly look forward to keeping our customers connected to the things that matter most,” added Mr. Macaya.
