Space X’s Starlink service has an estimated US 1.3 million residential subscriptions, creating new market competition
Parks Associates today announced the launch of its new Broadband Market Tracker, an annual research subscription service that profiles more than 25 market leaders in the US and Canadian residential internet service markets. The Broadband Market Tracker delivers quarterly reports that analyze market trends, profile market leaders, and provide estimates for residential internet subscribers and revenues for the North American market.
Parks Associates leverages the firm’s consumer research and industry knowledge to provide estimates for all leading companies, even those that that do not publicly release figures, and to measure growth in services such as fixed wireless service among mobile network operators.
Parks Associates estimates that in the satellite internet market, Space X’s Starlink service has approximately 1.3 million residential subscriptions in the US, overtaking long-time incumbents HughesNet and Viasat. As of Q1 2024, Starlink is the 12th largest residential internet service provider in the US market. The company is on track to become a top 10 residential ISP by market share by the end of 2024.
“This year, significant changes in the broadband market include regulatory shifts, increasing competitiveness from wireless options, and mergers and acquisitions,” said Kristen Hanich, Research Director, Parks Associates. “The end of the Affordable Connectivity Program has challenged both ISPs and consumers, and growing price sensitivity is driving renewed interest in service bundling. This research will follow this and other trends and measure their impacts on the bottom line of subscriber counts and revenues for all major providers.”
