As cable operators and telcos race to capture the lion’s share of high-speed Internet customers, Verizon pulled ahead during Q4 05 with a record-breaking number of net high-speed customers. During the quarter, Verizon added 614,000 net new broadband customers, a record for any broadband provider ever.
At the end of the quarter, Verizon served 5.14 million high-speed customers, up 614,000 over Q3 05 levels (see table below). This figure was given a big boost by Verizon’s FTTP FiOs service, which is now available to more than three million homes.
