UPC customer numbers up 10% to top 1m

Communications services company UPC has reported a 10% year-on-year increase in total subscriber numbers to just over the one million mark for the first quarter of this year.

The company, which offers telephone, broadband and digital television services, technically reached the one million subscription milestone at the end of last year, as reported in its 2012 performance update in February.

However, figures for the first quarter of 2013 published yesterday state that 90,000 subscriptions were added between the start of January and the end of March, representing a 10% rise on the same quarter last year and boosting overall customer numbers to just over 1.01 million people.
