Operating Review
During the first quarter, EE continued to execute well on our strategy to maintain commercial leadership, deliver operational excellence and create long-term value through network leadership and innovation.
We are successfully attracting customers to our superfast 4G network with a net increase of 1.7m 4G connections in the quarter, more than any other operator in Europe. 9.3m users are now enjoying the UK's biggest and fastest 4G network. Strong business demand for 4G continues, with over 7,700 medium and large companies on 4G. We are firmly on track to reach our target of 14m 4G customers by year end, which will represent well over half of our mobile base.
Our 4G coverage now reaches 87% of the UK population – over 55m people. We are the only operator in the UK to offer double-speed 4G, which now covers 67% of the UK population. In March, EE was awarded Consumer Superbrand status, the youngest standalone brand to make the 2015 list.
Our Customers: Maintaining commercial leadership
Underlying operating revenue excluding the impact of regulation, improved +0.3% yoy, strengthened by continued postpaid, data and fixed growth. Operating revenue including the impact of regulatory cuts was 1.1% lower yoy at £1,469m.
We saw a net increase of 111k postpaid customers including M2M. Our customer value mix further improved in the quarter, with a net increase of 53k postpaid mobile customers.

Our fixed business continued to make excellent progress, with revenue growth of +15% yoy and a net addition of 50k broadband customers. EE is now the UK's fastest growing broadband operator for four consecutive quarters, driven by effective cross-promotions and the well-received launch of EETV.
Our Company: Operational excellence to deliver the best network and best service
In the quarter, we were again named the number one nationwide mobile network for the second half of 2014, based on comprehensive independent testing from RootMetrics®. EE also won Mobile Network of the Year at the 2015 Mobile News Awards and, in April, was named as Ofcom's fastest mobile broadband network. We continued our relentless focus on network innovation.

We are making good progress improving customer satisfaction by investing in our customer service centres, retail estate and customer loyalty programmes. We completed the on-shoring of 1,000 new customer service roles a year ahead of schedule, enabling us to significantly increase the volume of customer service calls handled onshore, which receive higher customer satisfaction scores. We are on track to have 1,300 apprentices through our award-winning scheme by the end of the year.

Our Future: Building value through accelerated cross-selling of connected products and services

Our increased strategic focus on maximising connections on our network by introducing new connected products and services and cross-selling these into our existing customer base is delivering for the business. This is illustrated by growth in our Multiple Product Attach Rate, which increased +3.6% yoy to 1.22 connected products per postpaid voice customer. This was supported by growth in mobile and fixed, with the tablet base up +59% yoy, mobile WiFi base up +25% yoy and fixed broadband base up +19% yoy.
