I agree, you're not my pal, because I could never be friends with a dick. Anyway, did you see the FT article last week? Or are they just being negative too? And if you didn't see it, then, well, what can I say. Cheerio Richard.

lol - yes, of course, you have complete insight on the numbers. Do they not use check digits on accounts? Do they allocate sequentially? Unlikely. Before spouting off like one of the great believers always do pal, don't be so patronising! If you're a Distributor by the way, why has your income declined in proportion to profits?

Pure speculation.

errr....talking of crap, your statement that they have no debt? Really? Just the £74m as per their accounts? Or is that something else just to gloss over? Just saying. Are you a Distributor as well by the way?

You make some good points Soros, but in the words of Manfred Mann, I believe that freeled has indeed been 'Blinded By The Light' - blinded by the perpetual line to keep going, that everyone is making great money when you get to the top and that everything is ok with the Company - just don't quit. You're wasting your breath trying to change his mind in my opinion.

Are those figures correct Soros? If they are, and I have no reason to doubt you, that's shocking.

Interesting...so you're a distributor for them? How long and at what level are you? I think you'd be somewhat interested in my status, but that's a different subject and possibly for another day. However, your mudslinging when presented with facts does little or nothing to elevate you either morally or professionally my friend....

I agree Soros, and also find it interesting. You've used a brand I've not heard of there as a comparison, but there are plenty of suppliers who are cheaper, and who don't insist on you taking multiple products to get the best prices! These 'distributors' also claim that it's cheaper because they don't waste money on advertising, and yet they are more expensive on energy - how does that work?

I hope there are record profits in March, because this is not looking good. Growth rates within the core business appear to be dropping off, so it'll be interesting times.

Lol - ah, ok, well, the proof will be in the next set of figures I guess!

I was just wondering, how do you know the number of new customers that are joining? I can't find that anywhere? Seems very strange that a four-fold increase in customers has happened in such a short space of time and achieved such a major turnaround. If sustained, that would equate to 35,750 new customers in the next 6 months (assuming a 5 day week as well) - wow! Very impressive.

Thanks again.

Interesting - Thank you. That clearly explains the decline in price from just under £20 at the end of 2014. I was getting worried! Thank you again.

Yes, indeed, forgive me. A decline in growth of more than 50% is always a cause for celebration - please forgive me!! Silly me, eh.

First half growth in 2014 was 34,733 customers and 126,537 services. 2015 same period is just 13,585 customers and 53,488 services - possibly why the share price hasn't risen as dramatically as one might have hoped?

The biggest problem to me looks like an overly-agressive dividend policy, which is find when the growth is very strong, but if you look at the interim reports, the growth is just 30% of what it was a year ago.... Can't see how they can justify their position at the moment to be honest....

Really? Just because you read something incorrectly...ok....whatever... The fact remains my friend, that these are not indications of a Company who are maintaining growth to support the dividend strategy....or are you going to take issue with that as well? Interesting to further read that they've renegotiated the Barclays loan in order to finance the dividend payment. Anyway, there you go. A difference of opinion, one based on fact, one based on...well, er,

lol - I guess that just demonstrates once again how some people can get fooled all of the time.....Let's look at the FACTS: first half growth FY2014 165,714 services; first half growth FY2015 126,537 = GROWTH DECLINE OF 24% - please let me know if these figures, taken from Telecom Plus reports, are incorrect. Thank you and good night

Really? Does that explain the decline of over 25,000 services over the six month period compared with the previous year? Even though thousands more distributors joined them? I think you need to check the facts as opposed to theory and hearsay...
