Britain<\/a>'s biggest broadband<\/a> and mobile operator<\/a> said demand for faster connections was strong, with a record 155,000 customers signing up to its full-fibre products in the quarter.
Inflation-linked price rises at the start of its financial year also supported revenue, it said, although the disposal of BT Sport resulted in a decline in its biggest consumer unit in the three months to end-December.
Adjusted core earnings, up 2% in the quarter, were boosted by the BT Sport disposal in the third quarter, along with higher fixed-line and mobile service revenue and cost control, it said.
But its Enterprise<\/a> unit, serving businesses and government, reported another decline in earnings, although it said the trend continued to improve.
BT reported third-quarter revenue of 5.2 billion pounds ($6.4 billion) and adjusted core earnings of 2.01 billion pounds.
