    Total access channels 2,519 2,627 4

    Revenue from access increased by 6% in the quarter ended 30 September 2008, due primarily to an increase in ADSL and bitstream
    revenue, as a result of continuing customer demand for our ADSL service, and increases in WLR rental and connection revenue.

    Revenue from line and equipment rental remained stable at 105 million as the impact of rental rate increases in August 2007 was
    offset by a reduction in PSTN channels.

    ADSL and bitstream revenue increased by 20% in the quarter ended 30 September 2008, as a result of increased customer demand,
    partially offset by lower ARPU.

    At 30 September 2008, the number of ADSL and bitstream lines stood at approximately 614,000, up from approximately 490,000 at 30 September 2007.

    As at 30 September 2008 approximately 308,000 PSTN lines and approximately 54,000 ISDN channels had transferred to other
    authorised operators on WLR, an increase of 6% and 14% respectively over 30 September 2007. WLR rental and connection yielded
    revenues of approximately e20 million in the quarter ended 30 September 2008, an increase of 10% on the prior comparative period,
    due to the increased line base, particularly higher value ISDN lines. These were partially offset by the increase in the WLR discount
    rate to 14% from 10%, with effect from 1 May 2008.
