UK ISP O2 ( Be Broadband ) has released its latest results to the end of March 2010, which saw their total fixed line broadband subscriber base climb from 591,514 in Q4-2009 to 600,000 632,400 (+56.3% year-on-year growth). However the passing of this milestone would appear to mask a slowdown in O2's broadband uptake.


Despite continuing to receive high praise from most consumer surveys, O2's broadband growth has actually declined and not by a small amount. For example, in Q3-2009 they had 527,126, rising to 591,514 (+64,388) in Q4-2009 and now 632,400 (+40886) in Q1-2010. Hopefully their new Home Phone bundle can turn things around.

UPDATE 12:38pm

Managed to get some more precise figures from Telefonica showing 632,400 instead of 0.6m (600,000) as in their primary release results. Still slowing down but not nearly as bad.
