As has been the case for some years, virtually all the net internet subscriber gains in the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2019 were gotten by cable operators.
The largest cable and telephone providers in the United States, representing about 96 percent of the market--gained a net 370,000 internet subscribers in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 480,000 subscribers in the second quarter of 2018, according to Leichtman Research Group.
These top broadband providers now account for 99.9 million subscribers, with the largest cable companies having 66.2 million broadband subscribers, and largest telephone companies having 33.7 million subscribers.
About six percent of those subscribers are business accounts, LRG says.
