UPC Ireland has reported further customer gains for the fourth quarter of 2014. The ISP reported a total of 1,111,200 subscriptions for the year across phone, broadband and TV services, up 51,500 over the same period of 2013.
Broadband subscriptions totalled 363,400, up from 338,300 for the same period in 2013. There was also an increase in phone subscriptions to 344,300 phone customers from 293,500.
Digital TV subscriptions, however, continued their slide to 333,200 from 383,300 – reflecting the continued trend of ‘chord cutting’ as consumer prefer to watch material online through on-demand services like Netflix and UPC’s own Horizon.
Magnus Ternsjö, CEO of UPC Ireland, said: “I am pleased with the results which reflect yet another satisfactory year where our home and business customers continued to select our products over other providers in the marketplace. In 2015, we intend to grow our leadership position by further developing our connected entertainment services and our award-winning fibre powered broadband products. We will also build on our highly popular phone service and enter the mobile arena which will allow us to offer quad-play making UPC even more attractive to our customers. UPC remains committed to offering the best value for money with our innovative new services that respond to consumer demand.”
