BSkyB ( Sky Broadband ) has released its latest set of quarterly results to 31st March 2009. The groups broadband service saw a slight decline in quarterly uptake by adding +130,000 new customers to its service, which compares with +163,000 during Q4-2008. However this is still strong growth and helped to take their total broadband base from 1,955,000 in Q4 to 2,085,000 now.


Reported revenue of £3,996 million (2008: £3,706 million) includes £265 million related to Sky Broadband and Sky Talk and £151 million related to Easynet. Reported operating profit of £622 million includes losses attributable to Sky Broadband and Talk of £107 million and a £19 million loss from Easynet.

Interestingly there was no mention of any progress on Sky's plans to move their broadband service from a shared to fully unbundled (LLU) platform by the second half of 2009, which would help them to cut costs and could make it more difficult for customers to leave.
