United Internet 2014 core profit up by a third on new customers

German internet service provider United Internet said on Wednesday its 2014 core profit had risen by more than a third due to record growth of new customers both organically and through acquisitions. Organic growth in fee-based customer contracts amounted to 910,000 while a further 420,000 contracts were added from the Versatel takeover, United Internet said. "All in all, the number of fee-based customer contracts rose by 1.33 million to 14.78 million," it added.
