The number of people taking their Superfast Fibre (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) service also grew to 73,000 (+21k and broadly unchanged from Q4-2012).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On top of that the ISPs new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/youview\" target=\"_blank\">YouView<\/a> (IPTV) based &#8220;<em>Plus TV<\/em>&#8221; service bundle has increased its growth by reaching 230,000 subscribers, which is up sharply from the 80k recorded in Q4-2012 and the 29k seen in Q3-2012. The provider has long seen TV services as a vital customer retention tool for the future and the evidence suggests that it might just be working.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Dido Harding, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>This has been a momentous year for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>, which is now a fundamentally better business than it was three years ago. In the year we have returned our customer base to growth, successfully launched TV and mobile handsets, grown TalkTalk Business, and returned to year-on-year revenue growth in the final quarter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We have the UK\u2019s fastest growing new TV business and our customers clearly appreciate its comprehensive content and value for money pricing. We will continue to invest in growth and remain confident that having more customers who buy more products and who stay with us longer, puts us firmly on track to achieve our medium term financial targets<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>TalkTalk also notes that its unbundled (LLU) broadband and phone platform can now reach <strong>2,724 telephone exchanges<\/strong> (7 new exchanges were unbundled away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> in Q1-2013), which means that their service\u00a0covers approximately <strong>95% of the UK population<\/strong>. It should be noted that 193,000 of the ISPs customers still use their old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> based product (most likely because they live outside of the providers LLU footprint).<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that TalkTalk now plans to <strong>unbundle another 300 exchanges<\/strong> in FY14 and see the &#8220;<em>potential to extend the programme beyond that as the cost of unbundling exchanges falls and, on-net customer ARPU grows, allowing us to continue to profitably extend our geographic reach<\/em>&#8220;. The ISP added that it would also continue to &#8220;<em>expand the capacity of our network, which we expect to grow by 50-100x over the next 3-5 years<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>In the addition TalkTalk had 175,000 mobile customers, more than 10,000 Ethernet circuits (they installed over 1,500 new Ethernet and EFM circuits for business customers in the last quarter) and 1 million subscribers have activated their HomeSafe internet security and parental controls system.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere the total revenue for TalkTalk stood at <strong>\u00a3427m in Q1-2013<\/strong> (up from \u00a3415m in Q4-2012). As a final point TalkTalk had this to say about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s new probe into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> pricing, &#8220;<em>We remain actively engaged with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> and government to promote greater competition in fibre through a tighter regulatory framework.
