Eir revenue falls slightly despite growing customer base

The group's adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) was flat compared to the same period last year

Eir's revenue decreased by 1% or €4m in the quarter, which the company said was offset by the lower cost of sales.

Eir's total fibre broadband base rose by 1% to 890,000 customers in the third quarter of this year, with its overall results for the three month period in line with expectations, the company announced. 

In its latest trading update, the telecommunications giant said its postpay mobile customers rose by 83,000 to 1,27m, with its multi-play bundling, tv, mobile and broadband accounting for 60% of eir fixed households, up five percentage points year-on-year.
