The Carphone Warehouse (TalkTalk) has released its latest 'Interim Management Statement' for the fourth quarter of 2007, which saw the addition of 118,000 new broadband clients, raising the total to 2,604,000. Roughly 61% (1.6m) of those subscribers were on the group's unbundled (LLU) lines.

Carphone currently has 1,533 unbundled exchanges via TalkTalk and 924 via AOL UK. The provider has also managed to transfer 221,000 of its BT based ADSL customers over to their unbundled network during the same quarter:


It's pleasing to see that TalkTalk has managed to hold onto its customers, despite initial contracts coming to an end. Whether this suggests satisfaction more with the price than the service is another matter. Meanwhile Carphone is sticking to its positive outlook and will formally announce more detailed figures for Q4 come 14th April 2008.
