Bell's Second quarter DSL results not so optomistic.

July 24th, 2002, 05:08 PM

This Quarter (Quarter 2, 2002)
"The overall DSL subscriber base grew by 43,000 to 909,000 up 5% over Q1, 2002. Of the 43,000 net additions 24,000 related to consumer DSL services, 11,000 business and 8,000 wholesale"

(Quarter 1 2002)
"The overall DSL subscriber base grew to 866,000 this quarter, up 14% over year end 2001. Of the 109,000 net adds for the quarter, 94,000 related to consumer DSL services, 10,000 business, and 5,000 wholesale.

(4th Quarter 2001)
"At year-end, total DSL subscribers stood at 757,000, surpassing the year end target of 670,000. Compared to the last quarter the customer base grew by over 21% and was up 125% over the close of Quarter 4 2000.
Of the 132,000 net adds for the quarter, 115,000 related to consumer DSL services, 11,000 business, and 6,000 wholesale."

Anyway my point is Bell either lost a lot of customers this quarter or just couldn't sign them up.

Either way they did not get near as many customers as they should have.
