DSL closes the gap on Cable in Q2
For some time I have been waiting for the Nasty Baby Bells to get into the broadband act in a serious way. It seems like last quarter they did. In fact they added more subs than cable during the quarter bringing down the ratio of cable/dsl to 1.6:1. Lots of people have picked cable as the winner. I actually prefer DSL due to the higher upload speeds, but the cost of Cable is quite compelling. I don't like sharing my bandwidth either. I guess since the Nasty Babies have driven everyone else out of their networks, they think the coast is clear to start trying to make some money. Funny behavior.
"Providers of DSL added 895,000 subs in the quarter while cable operators added 831,000, LRG said. Cable now accounts for about 17.5 million subs in the country, while DSL boasts a little more than 11.1 million." From the Hollywood Reporter.
