Top U.S. ISPs by Subscriber: Q3
2003
The third quarter saw incremental growth, but two key ISPs failed
to disclose subscriber numbers.
We use Jupiter Research estimates for the total number of subscribers in the
United States: 77.4 million subscribers. This number does not include: subscribers
at work, at universities, or in government. It only includes residential consumer
accounts.
All subscriber counts are as of September 30, 2003, except for MSN, which has
not provided updated numbers.
