Our solid market leading position is underscored by a 36.3% market share in mobile subscribers and a 37.9% market share in mobile revenue. At the same time, we maintained the lowest mobile service revenue decline among three major telecoms in Taiwan despite an increasingly competitive landscape.&#8221;</p>

In broadband business, the subscriber net-adds turn positive for the first quarter of 2018, which is encouraging. The number of users signing up for, or upgrading to, connection speeds of 100Mbps or higher grew by 10.7% year over year to 1.32 million in the first quarter as a result of broadband subscribers consistently migrating to our higher-speed, higher-value fiber services.
