Poland’s Cyfrowy Polsat ended Q3 with 5 million pay-TV contract RGUs, or over 100,000 more than in the same period last year.
Its contract RGU service total, for pay-TV, internet and mobile telephony, amounted to 14.06 million, a 4% increase on Q3 2017.
In its latest results, the company notes that the pay-TV RGU increase was largely down to the multiroom and paid OTT effect.

At the same time, the company’s prepaid base amounted to 2.79 million services in Q3 (2.88 million a year earlier), with ARPU at PLN20.8 (PLN20.2).
