ISP Market Research

Subscriber Values

As ISP stocks continue to be volatile, some subscriber values have changed significantly in just one month. Dialup ISPs are less volatile than other types—as wireless and cable ISPs run into trouble, dialup ISPs are doing fine.

We list public companies only and do not include ISPs that are part of much larger firm, like MSN, for example. Current subscriber counts are derived from corporate reports and ISP-Planet's ISP Rankings.

WSRN.com is the source for market data. Market capitalization data is as of market close on August 15, 2001.

History
In response to readers' requests, we now provide historical data for the subscriber values here .

Transaction data
Third party subscriber value research from MCG Capital Corporation averages the ISPs that MCG has bought and sold in the past year. Revenue per subscriber per month is particularly interesting data.

Note, however, that the rate of ISP deals is declining drastically.
