Comcast posted 0.5% revenue growth in the third quarter, adjusted for the Versant spinoff, with solid media segment results offset by continued weakness in broadband. Media posted its strongest profit in three years, while lower broadband prices squeezed connectivity segment margins.
Comcast’s networks provide a platform to meet customers’ growing demand for highly reliable, low-latency broadband service, which will stabilize market share as wireless alternatives fail to keep pace.
Comcast’s customer service reputation is poor at best. Its broadband customers are steadily switching internet providers as fixed-wireless and fiber alternatives become available. This trend will continue for years.
