Leichtman Research Group studied twenty largest cable and DSL providers in the US, representing about 94% of the market, in 2005.

The findings of the study include:

Combined net additions for the year 2005 – over 9.6 million
Combined net additions for the year 2004 – over 8.6 million
Total high-speed Internet subscribers – 42.8 million

Bruce Leichtman, president and principal analyst for Leichtman Research Group, said: “With about 10 million additional broadband subscribers in the US in 2005, the number of net broadband additions has increased every year this decade”.

Leichtman added, “Cable operators have added virtually the same number of broadband subscribers in each of the past three years, while DSL providers have grown the market primarily by offering lower priced services”. [source]
