[Johannesburg, 12 September 2006] - After being acquired by South African AltX-listed ISP telecommunications company and ISP, DataPro, for R45 million just under one year ago, consumer-focused ISP, @lantic Internet Services, has announced that it has grown its customer base by a further 5 000. This takes the company's total customer base to more than 40 000 subscribers.
Neil Meyer, MD of @lantic, which now operates autonomously as a DataPro-owned subsidiary, said: "The company's previous average year on year growth fluctuated at around 10% per year, but we have succeeded in growing our base by more than 14% over the last 11 months."
When asked about the major contributors to @lantic's accelerated growth, Meyer replied: "We have aggressively pursued the growing demand for ADSL and wireless access solutions. This, combined with our incorporation into the DataPro Group, has given us the extra stature and clout to aggressively grow our business, profit and customer numbers. A 35% growth in revenue is a very impressive growth figure and, of course, the financial spin-offs impact directly on our bottom line." |
