The Rising Tide 20
Access is Key for Communication Service Providers Q1 Earnings Comments A Rising Tide We are expanding our broadband capacity throughout our network and migrating more of our traffic on-net but also diversifying away from being solely a connectivity provider With increased availability of premium broadband speeds, enabled by our Project Excel, we have a significant opportunity to migrate customers at faster speeds, which will reduce churn and improve the customer experience. This will position Windstream to take market share and grow revenue and contribution margin. May 4, 2017 " as we look at the networks of the future, they're going to be built with a lot of fiber deep into the network and that network is going to be built for multiuse cases, not for a single-use case. So it's going to deliver consumer to the home application. It's going to deliver small business applications. It's going to light up enterprise buildings. And it's also going to deliver smart cities and IoT solutions, too. April 20, 2017 we believe the trends we are seeing in our business offer strong validation of the rationale for our investment in high-quality, high-bandwidth, broadband network infrastructure.. consumer broadband subscriber trends have been improving the last several quarters and improved again this quarter. The key thing to note here is that in areas where we are investing in higher speeds, we are growing customers and average revenue per user.
