Comcast Earnings Up 22 Percent
Posted 11/04/09 at 06:30:16 PM by Ryan Whitwam
Have you heard? Comcast is raking in cash like no one’s business. The internet service provider reported today that their net earnings for the third quarter amounted to $944 million. That is a 22% increase year over year. Some of this comes from cost cutting, but Comcast has seen substantial subscriber increases as well.
Comcast saw a 2.7% decrease in the number of TV subscribers, but that was offset by large increases in internet and phone service. Overall internet subscribers grew 6.4% to 15.6 million, while voice accounts grew a staggering 20% to 7.3 million. Overall, Comcast’s customer base grew 3.4% to 46.8 million.
With these strong numbers, Comcast seems more able than ever to proceed with plans to acquire a stake in NBC. No new announcements have been made, but reports suggest that the ISP wants to move into the media space with a controlling interest in GE-owned NBC-Universal.

uh...

Great so they're raking in profits hand over fist while my last bill included yet another announcement that they are raising rates. Whats up with that? Can't wait to move out of an appartment and get back to satelite. Comcast is a scam. Too bad I'll still have to keep them for internet service but its the only thing they offer that still has a somewhat reasonable price tag.
I'm about to cancel Comcast.

So their earnings are up 22% but they are having such a tough time they need to cap our net? They need to introduce tiered 'pay-as-you-go' bandwidth pricing? Please. Comcast is a travesty.
this is great new, now
