The cable industry's investment has put it at the forefront of providing the digital services consumers want. Today, cable's advanced digital services, such as high-speed Internet access, digital cable, video-on-demand, and telephone service, are available to more than 95 million homes, or 88 percent of U.S. households passed by cable.
While some of the immediate benefits of the cable industry's network upgrade included the ability to provide customers with increased reliability and more basic and digital cable channels, the broadband platform is a competitive advantage for cable operators in their ability to offer consumers multiple services.
