O2 broadband provider reports significant growth in the first quarter
O2 broadband provider who also owns Be broadband has released the latest half yearly financial results for the period that ended on 30th June, 2008. The report shows that the total broadband customers of the ISP rose to 194,220, thanks to the 62,800 net additions made during the last quarter.
It should be noted that the high-speed broadband provider has added 123,510 new broadband customers during the first half year while 60,711 were added during the first quarter of the year. Although the latest quarter showed marginal growth when compared to the previous quarter, O2 Telefonica is one of the UK broadband providers who have posted excellent growth during the second quarter in a highly competitive market environment.
O2 broadband service offers not only offers reliable, cost-effective, high speed broadband packages (up to 24Mbps download speed) but also offers great value mobile and business broadband packages. It should be noted that O2 broadband has recently launched its new broadband package – Broadband Home Away which offers home broadband, wi-fi broadband access and mobile broadband to the customers for just a £20 per month.
Nick Wilkins of O2 broadband says:
“In previous years a lot of the uptake was driven by free broadband offers, but now in accordance with broadband comparison people are starting to appreciate the benefits of higher quality services,” Mr Wilkins told technology news provider Hexus. Things like the BBC iPlayer mean that people now want higher bandwidth with higher download limits.”
