Comcast has tried to move investors away from focusing on residential broadband net additions.
Additionally, new competition for home broadband from wireless providers such as T-Mobile and Verizon had added to Comcast's lack of residential growth.
Since then, Comcast has reported net broadband losses in three of the last five quarters.
Comcast executives have pushed investors to focus on broadband's rising average revenue per user (ARPU) growth, driven by price increases, rather than net additions.
Comcast's residential broadband ARPU rose 3.9% in the quarter.
