So yes, by all comparisons they have gained 'virtually no customers'. These are disappointing figures for VM.

I wouldn't argue that the net adds are bit disappointing and quite unfathomable why it should be so low for this quarter.
Yet with "virtually" no additions revenues are up across the board - go figure.
I would like to see the % split of our on-net broadband v other adsl providers. Sky's numbers are good but I would like to see how they compare against cable broadband.
I was once a customer of Sky and can vouch that I found them to be very good, but if I lived in a cables area I'd drop them, and other provider, like a stone.
Virgin need to improve their off-net adsl proposition in order to increase their customer base.
