Carphone Warehouse adds 118,000 new broadband customers

Carphone Warehouse has announced its results for the 13 weeks to December 29 2007.

Although it missed its new business and revenue forecast, during the quarter it added 118,000 broadband customers. The mobile phone retailer and broadband network provider now has 2.6 million broadband customers. During the same period it also moved 221,000 broadband customers to its own network.

Carphone Warehouse owns TalkTalk, and AOL wireless broadband.
