Fiber-Focused Broadband Plan Drives SureWest Growth

An IP innovator, SureWest recently added a remote nationwide home video monitoring service to its broadband arsenal.

Total broadband segment revenue, consisting of both Sacramento and Kansas City markets, increased 64 percent in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year quarter. Fifty-one percent of that growth came from the Kansas City operations. The 13 percent growth in Sacramento, SureWest said, resulted from successful marketing of its fiber-based triple-play bundle.

Residential broadband video revenue generating units for the first quarter of this year grew 180 percent, from 19,700 to 55,200, over the same quarter last year, driven by the Everest Broadband acquisition.
