The mobile phone retailer revealed it had received 476,000 applications for its Talk Talk 'free' broadband service, as of July 26. Dunstone said: 'On the customer service side, there is no doubt that we initially underestimated the strength of demand. We have expanded our customer service capacity substantially since June to meet this additional demand. We still have someway to go, however, to reach the leading service levels we target.'
