IP Democracy: DSL Posts a Blow-Away Quarter

As Om points out, the telcos posted their best DSL growth quarter ever during Q3 05, adding approximately 1.2 to 1.3 million net new DSL customers, all a result of the booming growth in SBC’s low-priced DSL promotions and Verizon’s roll-out of Fios, in addition to Verizon’s own DSL promotions.

Here are the numbers that back up Om’s observation:

DSL Subscribers by Telco	Total Subs 9/30/04	Total Subs. 12/31/04	Total Subs. 3/31/05	Total Subs. 6/30/05	Total Subs. 9/30/05
Bell South	1,872,000	2,100,000	2,300,000	2,500,000	2,700,000
Qwest	955,000	1,040,000	1,120,000	1,190,000	1,340,000
SBC	4,679,000	5,104,000	5,608,000	5,968,000	6,496,000
Verizon	3,253,000	3,485,000	3,864,000	4,142,000	4,500,000
