Charter Loses 109,000 Broadband Subscribers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2025 – Charter lost 109,000 broadband subscribers in the third quarter, the company announced Friday, worse than the 83,000 losses Wall Street had forecast.

Charter CEO Chris Winfrey said tough competition from fixed wireless and fiber providers was not letting up, on top of slow household formation and low-income customers increasingly foregoing fixed broadband for mobile.

“The challenge we have is the operating environment remains competitive with new competitors, and a macro environment that hasn’t gotten better,” he said on the cable operator’s earnings call.
