We are pleased to announce that we have now activated the first segment of our sixth 622Mbps Central Pipe. The new capacity has been activated in line with the current budget and in response to our recent Broadband Your Way product launch as well for projected growth in signups and to support existing customers moving to the new products. When new capacity is added to the network, it takes time for the network to balance and for a representative proportion of the customer base to connect to the new segment. In order to speed up this process and help balance the platform to give the most benefit to customers, it may be necessary for us to temporarily disconnect a number of customers from the network. Should we take the decision to do this we will announce further details as a planned maintenance notice otherwise it may take up to a week for the new segment to be balanced. We frequently review our plans for the purchase of additional capacity and will continue to do this based on projected customer numbers.
