Comcast Loses Fewer Internet Customers Than Expected

Comcast Corp. continues to shed internet and cable-TV customers, but it lost fewer than analysts expected in the second quarter after offering pricing perks.

The Philadelphia-based media giant lost 226,000 domestic broadband subscribers in the quarter ended June 30, the most ever. Still, that was better than analysts’ forecasts for losses of 257,000, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Pay-TV customers shrank by 325,000, compared with expectations for losses of 383,000.
