Wow - some spike. But still seems to have settled higher than the float price. Still don't see how people lost their life savings on initial subscription. And those that bought in on the bubble were, like so many other casualties of dot.com fever, difficult to rescue from their own exuberance.

donaferentes, they did briefly hit those dizzy heights soon after they floated, some time around 1999/2000. Caught up in the dot-com bubble. I don't recall a share split.

Edit: cheers Skinny, beat me to it.

I don't think there was a share split.

[donaferentes] 11/9/2013 12:15

Must have been a share split (20:1?) since a chart of the last 10 years shows it ranging from 10p to 80p over that period until the recent rise to 90p.

You'd have had to have sold at the bottom to lose money over that time.

Don't forget that these were trading at over £14 at one stage some years ago. Many people in Hull lost most of their life savings on this company.

The RNS today clarifies the position:

SQ, they used to own their own network but outsourced to BT in 2009:



So the fall is probably connected.

[septimus quaid] 21/8/2013 08:14

Yesterday's fall.

Anything to do with the Ofcom's mistake re calculating BT's reduced LLU and wholesale line rental charges (reported in today's Times)?

Talktalk directly impacted, which I can understand, but do KCOM not own their own infrastructure?

[realcooltrader] 19/8/2013 17:11

Interesting closing UT, I wonder what's that all about?

I know it's only an IMS, but updates are getting quite vague these days, it's difficult to know how things are really doing, good to see the dividend commitment tho

I was expecting some bad news today due to the drop in share price pre results. I am happy with these result, management seem to be on top of things + dividend is very impressive indeed.
