Meanwhile their gross Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is running at \u00a318.23 (up from \u00a318.07 last year) and total revenue for the year stood at \u00a32,439m (up 1% from \u00a32,425m).<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> also talks about having &#8220;<em>800,000 broadband customers<\/em>,&#8221; which we assume is primarily a reference to their dedicated Mobile Broadband plans and possibly including some of their Relish Wireless ISP subscribers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/02\/london-wireless-broadband-isp-relish-rebrands-to-three-uk.html\">soon to be called Three Broadband<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Dave Dyson, CEO of Three UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;UK consumers have an insatiable appetite for data and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> is the key to delivering on that demand in a quality and cost-effective way.

We have therefore also worked hard to improve our 4G network experience through redeployment of spectrum used for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> to 4G, and added carrier aggregation technology.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I am pleased with the progress that the business has made in 2018. Only made possible with the hard work and commitment of our staff and partners, and I thank them for their dedication and support.  We are well set up for some transformational shifts in 2019 for our customers and our employees.  It will be a year when our customers will start to see the real benefits of the next generation of 5G \u201cmobile\u201d technology, a technology that will not only replace 4G, but will also replace the need for wired broadband services.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In-between rather boldly claiming to have become the UK&#8217;s &#8220;<em>best-loved brand by our people and customers, meeting all our customers\u2019 connectivity needs<\/em>&#8221;
