01 May 2009 - Sky reach 2 million broadband customers

As of the 31st March 2009 BSkyB ( Sky Broadband ) has broken the 2 million broadband connection milestone.

This is an increase from 1.955 million to in Q4 to 2.085 million now. Alongside this a 9% increase was seen in customers taking the tripple (TV, broadband and telephony) offerings from a year ago.

"Looking ahead to the rest of calendar 2009, we expect conditions to remain challenging. In this environment, and at a time when people are spending more time at home, we will continue to provide our customers great entertainment and money-saving broadband and telephony. At the same time, we will stay focused on cost efficiency to allow us to invest sensibly in areas that drive long-term value for the business, such as high definition, with the objective of emerging stronger from the downturn."

In total, BSkyB reported revenue of £3,960 million (2008: £3,706 million) with a rise in profits to £589 million from £521 at this time last year.
