AT&T spokesman Seth Bloom tells me this morning that as per the company's just released third quarter earnings, there were 232,000 U-verse TV net adds in the quarter, bringing the company to 781,000 subscribers in service. "We expect to exceed our target of more than 1 million by year end," says Bloom. There had been some doubt about that, with some analysts predicting a slow economy and home sales would slow deployment.

Of course while U-Verse continues to see strong growth, things aren't quite as rosy for traditional DSL. Last quarter the telco posted the lowest growth in vanilla DSL subscribers in company history, though they ended the quarter with 14.7 million broadband customers. This quarter they added 148,000 total broadband customers, ending the quarter with 14.8 million. Clearly gone are the days where the telco would add half a million new DSL subscribers.

Of course things are faring worse for landlines, with the telco having lost 10.6 percent of its copper voice lines since this time last year. On the positive side, wireless continues to be a cash cow for AT&T, with the telco adding 2 million new subscribers on the quarter. AT&T's wireless data revenues grew 50.5 percent versus the year-earlier quarter to $2.7 billion. The telco also says they activated 2.4 million 3G iPhones.
