Virgin Media has reported its latest second quarter 2008 results today, which saw the operators broadband subscriber base inch forwards from 3,781,800 at the end of March to 3,836,100 now. The recent controversy over its vague Phorm stance appears to have had little impact, although its ADSL broadband services continue to decline.

The bulk of this increase came from VM's cable based broadband platform, while those on its Virgin.net (ADSL) side reduced from 279,500 at the end of March to 272,700 now.

Naturally VM is now looking towards the launch of its future 50Mbps products, with its CEO being focused on boosting the group’s broadband credentials. We also noted that Mobile Broadband services will finally be coming to its mobile platform during Q4-2008, although no further details have been revealed. Full Results.
