BT SQUEEZED IN BROADBAND BATTLE ; COMPANIES TODAY [Newcastle Journal (England)]


(Newcastle Journal (England) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BT said it had been squeezed by rivals in the cut-throat battle for broadband customers as it reported the lowest level of customer growth for two years.

The telecoms giant, which has invested heavily in TV football rights in its battle with Sky, reported net retail broadband additions of 88,000 in the second quarter to the end of September.

It said the figure was lower than in recent quarters "due to strong promotional activity in the market". Shares fell 3%.
