COMCAST REPORTS 2ND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

http://www.cmcsa.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=981353

Seems very stable to me .
With only 4000 video losses.
Who can complain about that when you still added 115,000 overall customers.

40% are X1 customers.
That's quite a large number.

Yes sir. My experience has been overall pretty good after so many years with Dish and some with Directv. My folks just switched from Dish as well this past weekend. Hard to beat that combo price with TV and Internet.

They added 220,000 Broadband only customers, shows there is growth in the cord never/cutter crowd.

I have written this before, if I did not have such a great bundle price ( $16 more then Extreme 150 by itself) I would not have TV service with them, I could easily just have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and I pay nothing for Netflix and Hulu (I use my Best Buy Visa Reward Zone Points to buy Gift Cards for those services).

Since we binge watch everything it is not that big of a deal since almost every show we watch are on those 3 services, just have to be patience till they are on, Big Ten Football is the only prolem.

Well I'm sure some cord cutters are in there, But I'm sure it's also Satellite TV customers that may not want Satellite Internet.
Not unusual for someone to have Satellite and Cable Internet.

My guess most Cord cutters already had Internet, otherwise they wouldn't have noticed the multiple cord cutting options available.

Perhaps those finally throwing in the towel on DSL and wireless broadband as unsuitable?

You could add vue for those few months.
