| Cable broadband is beating DSL to a pulp
"During the quarter, Verizon added only 54,000 new subscribers (DSL), down from 288,000 in 2007. Baby Bell brothers AT&T and Qwest did not fare well either as they only added only 46,000 and 31,000 subscribers respectively."
...
"Cable, despite its own subscriber slowdowns, continues to crank up the broadband subscriber volume.
Leading the cable broadband pack was Comcast. While its numbers overall were down 18% from 339,000 new subs in Q2 2007, Comcast added 278,000 new broadband subscribers.
Not far behind Comcast was Time Warner Cable with 201,000 subscriber additions."
Cost is not king apparently.

Think triple play. Cable has finally gotten into the price game. In many areas, both TW and Comcast are offering long term (1 year) deep discounts when you buy all three services.

i have to agree, cable is in the better place to offer a triple play as their networks can already do it. while in a non fios/Uverse area the telco cant just start offering 100s of channels, phone, 6mbit+ internet on the same feed.

Uverse can barely do it. It's not even an option for a multi tv home. |
