Companies that provide Internet access services have begun releasing their earnings reports for the latest quarter. There are subscriber figures and other data from selected Internet service providers:
? July 19: Verizon Communications Inc. gained just 2,000 broadband customers in the latest quarter ? the worst result in four years. Verizon says the weak showing was in part due to Verizon ending the sale of DSL connections to people who don't have a landline phone account. The effort is part of an attempt to improve profitability. Verizon has upgraded part of its phone network with optical fiber, a service it sells as FiOS. It has raised prices, also to improve profitability, resulting in fewer new FiOS subscribers ? 134,000 during the quarter, to end with 5.1 million.
? July 24: AT&T Inc. says it gained 553,000 U-verse Internet customers to end the quarter with 6.5 million. That helped offset losses in customers who get DSL, a slower and older technology.
? July 25: AOL Inc. says it had 3 million access subscribers as of June 30, down 84,000 during the quarter.
? July 31: Frontier Communications Corp. says it added 5,442 broadband customers to end with 1.78 million.
? Aug. 1: Comcast Corp. says it added 156,000 high-speed Internet customers during the second quarter to end with 18.7 million.
? Aug. 2: Time Warner Cable Inc. says it added 59,000 high-speed residential customers to end the quarter at 10.8 million.
