Canadian Cablecos Winning High-Speed Game
By Mark Evans | August 18, 2008
Earlier this month, Silicon Valley Insider took a look at how the cable companies and telecos fared during Q2 in the high-speed Internet business. When it came to growth, the cable companies kicked some serious butt by taking 73% of net subscriber adds.
To get an idea of what’s happening north of the border, I did the same exercise. I also collected total telephone growth given bundles are such a key part of the marketing mix these days.
In the high-speed market, the cablecos walked away with 60% of net subscriber adds. Meanwhile, they attracted 106,958 net telephone adds, while the telcos lost 190,653 customers.
