Here is what the page “AT&T Fiber Adds 226,000 Subscribers in Q3, Defying SpaceX Starlink Threat” contains. The Dallas-based telecom giant reported total revenue of $30.2 billion, slightly above analyst expectations, and postpaid phone churn of just 0.78%. CEO John Stankey emphasized that fiber is the company's growth engine, with penetration rates in existing fiber markets reaching about 40%. The performance shows that AT&T is holding its own against emerging competition from SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet, which has been expanding its residential service.
While Starlink targets rural and underserved areas, AT&T's fiber network offers symmetrical speeds and reliability that satellite cannot yet match. The company now passes over 27 million consumer and business locations with fiber, and it expects to reach 30 million by the end of 2025. Investors responded positively, with shares rising 3% in early trading. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
