The good news for Carphone Warehouse is that they appear to be ramping up
the number of customers connected to their unbundled service quickly now,
rising from 20,000 at the end of Q2, to 60,000 unbundled customers as of
31st October 2006. The press release detailing this and more is at
www.cpwplc.com.
The company currently has 370 exchanges unbundled, and is still going for
its target of 1,000 exchanges by May 2007. With over 420,000 broadband
customers in total, Carphone Warehouse is probably paying more to BT than it
had originally planned at this stage of its roll-out, which goes some way to
explaining the pre-tax £4.7m loss recorded so far this year, the same period
last year had the company making a £32.5m profit.
