Eircom TV service gains traction
Irish telco, Eircom, said that its TV service continued to gain traction in the quarter ending March 31 with 37,000 TV customers, representing 26% of its consumer fibre base.
Announcing results for its fiscal third quarter, the operator said that 22% of customers now have TV/mobile bundles and that the rollout of its next generation access network continues at pace.
“Our network has now passed 1.2 million homes and businesses, representing more than 50% of all premises in Ireland,” said Eircom group CEO Richard Moat.
