Canada
Fiscal 2013 first-quarter PSU net additions were lower than in the comparable period of the prior year mainly as a result of service category maturity, competitive offers and tightening of our customer credit controls and processes. The net customer losses for Television service customers stood at 2,076 compared to 4,452 net additions for the same period of the prior year. Television service customer net losses are mainly due to the promotional offers of competitors for the video service combined with the tightening of our customer credit controls. Fiscal 2013 first-quarter HSI service customers grew by 10,845 compared to 17,285 in the first quarter of the prior year, and the number of net additions to the Telephony service stood at 6,311 customers compared to 24,442 customers for the same period of the prior year. HSI and Telephony net additions continue to stem from the enhancement of the product offering, the impact of the bundled offer (Cogeco Complete Connection) of Television, HSI and Telephony services, and promotional activities.
