    BT today posted figures at the top end of expectations after revenues from 'new-wave' services offset weakening demand for traditional telecoms work.

    Shares in the group rose 1% as quarterly underlying earnings of £1.4bn (€2.04bn), down marginally on last year, came in ahead of City hopes for £1.36bn (€2bn).

    Revenues grew 8% in the three months to December 31 with turnover from new-wave services, such as IT network services and broadband, accounting for one third of business after a 42% rise in sales.

    What is helping bt bigtime is their Voip for large business's, making redundant companys like Siemens who up till now would of had a big client grasp here in ireland with large banks etc.. for internal communications.

    BT are on a big customer recruitment drive at the moment, a few days ago in work bt had a sales rep guy in and it was like giving candy to a baby, id say 3 out of 4 people he talked to signed on the dotted line; which makes sence cos bt makes a killing on bundling packages where as eircom really havnt got their act together!
