Verizon digital subscriber line growth in the first quarter was up sequentially about six percent, a fact that leads some to conclude that DSL adds are slowing. There's some truth to that, caused primarily by growing saturation of the broadband access market.
FiOS account additions were up to 23 percent, sequentially, though. Some customers logically are upgrading from DSL to FiOS, though.
Some observers might argue that Verizon's churn rate is up. That's obviously caused by current DSL customers upgrading to FiOS. Excluding the internal upgrades, the churn rate for DSL services hasn't budged, Verizon executives say.
In the most-recent quarter FiOS net subscriber counts were up by one million, year over year, while net DSL subs were up about 170,000.
