Mobile is rapidly becoming the new growth story for a segment of the US cable industry. Comcast, which bundles mobile with home broadband, saw flat broadband subscriber growth in Q2 2022.

Charter Communications, which also has an MVNO relationship with Verizon, unleashed its own family-oriented plans in the fall of 2021.Īltice USA, which offers mobile via a fresh MVNO agreement with T-Mobile, has also adjusted pricing on Optimum Mobile, including an unlimited plan that starts at $30 per month.Ĭomcast contends that its new unlimited pricing mix represents savings over similar plans from AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Comcast's prior unlimited, multi-line packages also dropped the price to $20 per additional line for any line taken beyond the first four – again, up to maximum of ten lines, based on customer credit qualification.Ĭomcast introduced its prior unlimited plans in April 2021, the result of the company's revised MVNO deal with Verizon, which opened the door to more flexible packaging options and the ability to sell mobile services to business customers.
