VodafoneZiggo added 11,800 internet customers in the third quarter, which the provider says is its strongest customer growth since 2019. Its quarterly figures show operating profit still fell, to €416m.

Why it matters

  • From 2027, VodafoneZiggo wants employees in the office at least three days a week, instead of two.
  • Staff who do not want to or cannot do that can use a voluntary departure scheme.

Separately, the company announced on Monday that from 2027 it wants employees in the office at least three days a week instead of two. It plans a voluntary departure scheme for staff who do not want to or cannot do that.

Mobile subscriptions grew by 30,700 in the quarter, more than twice as many as in the third quarter of 2025. Revenue rose 1.4% to just over €1bn.

Operating profit was 6.9% lower than a year earlier. That is a smaller drop than in the second quarter, when it fell 7.6%.

The company invested €29m more than last year.
