Brian Roberts – Comcast Corporation – Chairman & CEO: “We added 156,000 customer relationships, up over 90% from the prior year. Our video results were the best for a third quarter in nine years and our broadband results were the best for a third quarter in six years. Similar to last quarter, churn was a standout as we saw an improvement across every category.”

“We continue to push harder on X1 and have now accelerated our deployment to over 40,000 boxes per day. Roughly 25% of our video subscribers now have X1 and the reaction from our customers together with the financial benefits that we are seeing continues to indicate we should go even faster in taking that rate higher.”
