The shares have been consolidated. 100 old = 1 new, so the equivalent prices are 100p and 350p (see above) |

Talk Talk A "Free broadband" competitor messes up customer relations. |
3 October 2006 In April 2006, the company offered 'free broadband forever' to anyone signing up to its international calls package. Since then, hundreds of viewers have sent letters and emails to the programme every month. Many signed up to the offer, but never received the free broadband. Leigh Skuse, from Pontypool, signed up in May. Since then, she managed to get online for just three weeks. She continued to pay her monthly bills, and Talk Talk also charged Skuse for calls she made to the company's technical support line trying to resolve the situation. Vie Marshall, from London, also signed up in May 2006. Talk Talk never connected her to the internet, and on three occasions, it lost her details. Even more frustrating were the calls Marshall had to make to the company's call centres. On one occasion, she spent 56 minutes 40 seconds on the line. Donald Beal, from London, was so unimpressed with the company's customer service, he cancelled his contract after seven weeks. Talk Talk acknowledged his cancellation, but continued to bill Beal for a further two months. The company ignored his letters, emails and phone calls, referring his account to debt collectors. Nicky went to meet Charles Dunstone at his headquarters to find out why Talk Talk's 'broadband revolution' was floundering. In reception, by chance, he met two more angry customers. They'd travelled to the company to complain in person about the service they'd received. Dunstone said he was disappointed so many people had complained to Watchdog. He said: "Talk Talk is connecting hundreds of thousands of people to free broadband every week." He added that half a million have already signed up and the offer has been so successful, the company has been overwhelmed. He explained that he has hired many more staff and that by Christmas, anyone calling a Talk Talk call centre will speak to a human, not an automated voice. Dunstone added that he has introduced a process for handling cancellations and outstanding accounts, saying: "I got it wrong. I didn't realise that free broadband was going to have the effect on people it has." Carphone Warehouse, which owns Talk Talk, has apologised to all the cases featured, and has offered refunds to some of them. |

Tipsheet |
The company was tipped earlier in 2002, but has fallen through the "stop loss" limits they set. This was perhaps as a reflection of market conditions in general rather than any change in prospects. |

Invox plc Invox or the Company Interim results for the nine months ended 31 December 2001 Highlights Profit of £1.90 million (pre-goodwill) includes only four months of TPC Telecoms Pro-forma pre-tax, pre-goodwill amortisation profit of £4.04 million for nine months to 31 December 2001 Maiden dividend of 0.03p per share Current trading strong Acquisitions under consideration |

2002 |
Chairman's statement I am pleased to report that Invox has continued to benefit from strong trading. The Company's first dividend will be paid next month. In the nine months to 31 December 2001 Invox made profits of £1.90 million before tax and amortization of goodwill, which compares with a loss of £791,000 in the corresponding period in the previous year. This is the second interim announcement the Group is making for the 15 month period ending 30 June 2002. It is required because of our change of year-end to 30 June, which brings it in line with that of our main trading subsidiary, TPC Telecoms Limited (TPC). However, the nine month period includes only four months of trading from TPC, which was acquired on 30 August 2001. Pro-forma profit before tax and amortization, including TPC, for the full nine months was £4.04 million derivingfrom turnover of £13.40 million. Earnings per share before amortization for the nine months amounted to 0.16p taking into account only four months of TPC, but would have been 0.19p with TPC included for the full nine months. The Directors are therefore pleased to announce a maiden interim dividend of 0.03p per share. Trading remains strong. TPC's activities are currently confined to the UK and Ireland but management are hoping to run trials in other areas of the EU in the next few months. We are also looking at opportunities in the premium-rate Short Messaging Service (SMS) market, which appears to have great potential. Success in other European Union countries will depend on the regulatory environment as it does in the UK, and with that in mind the Board is also keen to broaden and diversify the Group's trading activities. We are considering a number of possible acquisitions, and shareholders will be kept fully informed. Otherwise our next scheduled communication with shareholders will be when we announce results for the 15 months ending 30 June 2002. Stephen Hargrave Chairman 29 January 2002 |
