That's the accountants.....

For the 3 months ended December 2015, they grew their numbers by 900 as compared to the previous quarter, so technically it's not a lie. But comparing the quarter ending December 2015 with the quarter ending 2014 shows their numbers are dropping.

Similar tactics are happening with the US cablecos. THey are losing tv customers due to cord cutting. I'd suggest VM's numbers are the beginning of this trend and will further drop year-on-year allowing for variations between quarters.

The whole problem with UK cable tv throughout its history is that Sky has always been better and now with cord cutting beginning, VM's tv business will come under further pressure, I believe.
