Despite gaining 148,000 net new U-verse TV customers in the most-recent quarter, and total net video connections of 264,000, including DirecTV and Dish Network accounts. Broadband access revenues were up 13.2 percent year over year.

Total high-speed Internet connections, which include DSL and satellite broadband services, increased by 491,000, and AT&T ended the quarter with 14.6 million broadband connections, up 13.9 percent over the year-earlier period.

However, AT&T’s wireline disconnect rate for the quarter of 10 percent, compared to 9.4 percent probably is the highest in that company's history.

Broadband someday will represent a bigger percentage of total revenue. But right now, the only services that can really "move the needle" for a company this large is wireless and wireline voice accounts.
