UPC loses 7,000 clients but subscriptions rise

UPC Ireland lost almost 7,000 customers in the nine months to the end of March but saw the total number of subscriptions increase in the same period.

Results released yesterday by the company show that 6,700 fewer people have a subscription with the media company but its almost 524,000 customers are using more services, resulting in a rise in total subscriptions.

Digital television, high-speed internet and voice subscriptions increased by 7,600 in the second quarter of the year and now stand at almost 1.1m.
