DSL OUTPACES CABLE
The Leichtman Research Group (LRG) reported that during the past
quarter, DSL services drew nearly 8 percent more new subscribers than
cable companies. Since the introduction of broadband access, cable has
consistently outpaced DSL for its number of subscribers, due to
aggressive marketing and often faster connection speeds. Analysts at
Forrester noted that as high-speed Internet access reaches greater
levels of market penetration, consumers are increasingly focused on
price, and monthly charges for DSL service are generally less than for
cable. According to Forrester, "Today's and tomorrow's broadband
adopters will lean more toward DSL." A spokesperson from Verizon
Communications confirmed the trend, saying that for her company,
"During the last two quarters of 2003 and the first two quarters of
2004, DSL grew faster than cable."
