Broadband customers rose by 8.8 per cent to 3.7 million at 30 September with convergent offers now representing 81 per cent of the fixed broadband customer base, up 6 percentage points year on year.
As for TV, Orange saw strong growth, following its agreement with Mediapro to offer the Champions League football through the BeIN Sports service, with numbers rising to 215,000 TV up from 137,000 the previous quarter and from 89,000 a year earlier.
