On the same day that they announced job cuts of 10,000 of their staff, BT revealed their Q3 financial results. Along with all the usual financial guff, results time is the best checkpoint to see how they are doing in terms of subscriber numbers.The big news is that BT Retail has decided to stop reporting their business and consumer customers separately - perhaps stung by the fact that Virgin Media consistently has more residential customers than them and that they only look the biggest when they bundle in business customers. For the record their last declared number for business customers was 783K, so I'll continue to subtract this number from future releases.
BT reported 3,791K customers (4,574K when the business punters are added back in) on their residential service, which is a 69K overall increase (including business) on a quarter previous.
BT's wholesale division has 13.3m broadband lines connected, including 5.1m LLU lines.
They also reported that one of their Ebbsfleet fibre triallists achieved speeds of 95Mb in the last quarter.
The full results can be found here, and further slides can be found here.
