Charter Broadband Losses Less Than Expected

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2026 — Charter lost 191,000 broadband subscribers in the fourth quarter of last year, a smaller loss than was predicted by Wall Street and an improvement year-over-year, Charter announced on its Friday quarterly earnings call.

Chris Winfrey , CEO of Charter Communications, stated that low house move rates and mobile only households, along with competition from fiber and fixed wireless, have maintained a poor environment for growth of broadband subscribers.

“In this environment, getting back to positive net additions is a game of inches.” Winfrey said. “We're incredibly focused on one, more clearly messaging for superior value and utility, and two, providing the best quality service in the market in a way that is recognized by our customers and our service is a competitive advantage.”
