History
The foundation of the company is considered to be June 2002.

Over the years, the company has conducted a number of transactions to buy large urban (and also home) computer networks: Ivanco.Net, Prosto.net, Winka-Net, Plexus.Net (June 2007), Scalpnet (December 2007), DomINet (May 2008), DaNet (July 2008). Qwertynet (August 2008), MultiGrad (September 2008).

Most of the connections were made using DOCSIS technology, which caused a flurry of users’ displeasure, and the company soon abandoned it, while starting a large-scale reconstruction of the entire network.

Since 2010, the company has been reconstructing networks, head equipment and PBX. In July 2011, the company was certified in the international quality management system ISO 9001:2008.

Since October 2011, the company has been part of a large Russian telecommunications group "StrelaTelecom" consolidated private equity fund "ElbrusCapital".

In early November 2011, the company announced its merger with Good Line (Kemerovo) and Novotelecom (Novosibirsk), which was supposed to lead to the creation of a single largest provider in Siberia providing broadband Internet and cable TV services. It was assumed that the subscriber base of the combined operator will be more than 250 thousand active broadband subscribers and more than 80 thousand KTV users in 11 cities of Kemerovo, Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions. It was also planned to create direct channels between cities at speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which would create the largest peer-to-peer network in Siberia. The merger was supposed to be completed in 2012 after all legal procedures and approvals were completed. Revenue of the combined operator for 2012 was planned in the amount of 1.8 billion rubles.

Since 2009, the company has implemented a unified automation system for the activities of telecom operators Fastcom 11.

At the end of December 2011, the DVB-C digital cable television test broadcast was launched.

Since April 2012, access to the Electronic City and the Piers file-sharing network has been opened.

In September 2018, the company was owned by Strl Telecom Holdings Ltd. (Cyprus), and the FAS approves the purchase of Tomtel by ER-Telecom.
