UK telecom giant BT has reported rises in profits, thanks to cost-cutting and an increase in its broadband service users.

"We have delivered another quarter of growth in profits and cash flow despite the economic head-winds" Chief Executive Ian Livingston commented. He went on to add: "In the UK, our fibre roll-out has accelerated bringing super-fast broadband within reach of over seven million homes and businesses and we remain the number one broadband retailer with over six million customers".
The company said labour costs fell by 3% while payments to telecommunications operators fell 15% due to lower call volumes.
