Cable Telephony Tops 13 Million Subscribers

Last we checked, cable controlled roughly 70% of the VoIP market, a number we're sure has risen since the stellar fourth quarter VoIP additions most cable providers reported. AT&T, Verizon, Qwest and Embarq are collectively losing roughly 2.6 million landline customers per quarter, and about half of those users are converting over to cable VoIP. All told, cable operators now report more than 13 million phone customers. While the price of cable VoIP is steep compared to indie VoIP, customers say they're more satisfied with phone service from their cable provider than from their phone company.
