USA - Broadband Market - Cable modem & DSL - Analysis, Statistics & Forecasts - Document Details

In the US broadband market, while cable modem still retains the majority of broadband subscribers, DSL trails close behind. With DSL growing at a higher rate than cable broadband, DSL subscribers are expected to exceed cable subscribers during 2008/09. Broadband competition in each region is generally limited to one DSL and one cable operator. The DSL segment is dominated by AT&T and Verizon, which account for around 80% of DSL subscribers, while cable broadband is less concentrated with Comcast and Time Warner accounting for around 62% of cable broadband subscribers. DSL and cable modem growth rates are expected to decline over the next five years as household penetration reaches saturation and fibre networks become widely deployed. This report provides overviews, analysis, relevant statistics and forecasts on the US cable modem and DSL broadband markets.
