France Telecom's latest quarterly results appear to contradict recent information from Orange (news), highlighting instead a continued decline in UK broadband ADSL subscribers to just 1.107 million.
This compares with 1,142,000 in Q3 last year and 1,138,000 in Q4, which marks the operator’s second quarterly decrease, accounting for roughly 31,000 lost customers in the three months to the end of March 2008!
Thankfully Orange's 'Mobile Broadband' (3G/HSPA) services appear to be having a better time of it, totting up over 8.2 million customers in France and 2 million in the UK.

In the United Kingdom, the growth in revenues of ADSL broadband partially offset the decline in revenues from narrow-band Internet and portals. ADSL lines sold unbundled grew strongly accounting for 37% of total ADSL lines at 31 March 2008, up 16 points from 21% a year earlier. The number of ADSL subscribers was 1.107 million at 31 March 2008, up 1.1% compared with 31 March 2007.
