Nevertheless, recent reports indicate that Comcast is still managing to gain new customers.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Latest Report<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It was recently revealed that Comcast managed to gain as many as 89,000 customers in the fourth quarter of 2015. This is in fact the best performance of the company in the last eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Comcast has been losing customers since satellite services like DirecTV and Dish came into play. Other cable services like Verizon FiOS and Time Warner Cable were also affected by the increasing popularity of satellite TV services.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_207\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207\" class=\"wp-image-207 size-medium\" title=\"Dish Satellite Services\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.thetripleplay.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/0_p6416380f_L-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dish Network Channels\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/0_p6416380f_L-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/0_p6416380f_L.jpg 462w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Dish Subscription Charges<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the reports further say that Comcast\u2019s new customers are not those who are fed up with any satellite deals, but a majority of them are customers of other cable services. They were looking for better cable TV alternatives and were attracted to the new deals by Comcast.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, there is a significant number of customers who are completely avoiding satellite and cable services. This latest cord-cutting trend and the popularity of internet TV services like Hulu and Netflix have a great share here.<\/p>\n<p>According to some sources, the only thing that makes people prefer Comcast to arch-rivals DirecTV and Dish is its bundle deals. Comcast\u2019s new customers gave first priority to broadband services rather than TV channels. And guess what, DirecTV is coming up with data bundle packages soon. Let us wait and see how Comcast copes with this challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is perfect competition between cable TV services and satellite TV providers in the US.
