Our mission has been to upgrade the UK and be the biggest challenger in the market, and we\u2019ve continued to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>In Q2, we\u2019ve grown our fixed and mobile customer base once again, as fast and reliable connectivity remains a top priority for consumers and businesses. We\u2019ve seen an improved revenue performance alongside our best quarterly profitability growth since we merged, putting us in solid shape to meet our full year guidance. The launch of our Virgin Media O2 sustainability strategy was also a major highlight in the quarter, and we will back up our bold commitments on carbon, circular economy and communities with real action.<\/p>\n<p>As we navigate a tougher economic environment and provide our customers with great value and targeted support, we have clarity and focus on three growth waves that will drive sustained commercial momentum. Firstly, our integration is firmly on track, our synergies are being realised and we\u2019re innovating at pace with convergence at our core; secondly, we\u2019re moving forward our digitalisation plans to improve our existing operations and build future foundations; and thirdly we\u2019re investing heavily to expand and upgrade our fibre and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> networks to bring top-class connectivity to more of the country.<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve achieved in just one year, nobody in the business is complacent, and we remain focused to deliver even more.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, there were no new updates this time on VMO2&#8217;s <strong>Project Mustang<\/strong>, which reflects their ongoing work to upgrade 14.3 million UK premises covered by their older HFC infrastructure with the latest 10Gbps capable <strong>XGS-PON<\/strong> full fibre (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2022\/05\/virgin-media-o2-begin-uk-fttp-upgrade-project-as-customers-fall.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/12\/virgin-media-o2-name-trial-cities-for-uk-fttp-broadband-upgrade.html\">here<\/a>) &#8211; at a <span class=\"\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">cost of \u00a3100 per home<\/span>.
