In context
“ed home Internet service revenues grew 27.3% year-over-year. This includes 2 months of revenues from fiber customers in geographies we acquired from [indiscernible], which added about 650 basis points to our reported growth rate in the quarter. Similar to wireless, our organic growth in Advanced home Internet service revenue was primarily driven by growth in our customer base. Advanced home Internet net adds were 512,000, which does not include the 1.1 million customers we acquired from [indiscernible] in early February. This was our best ever first quarter, and included 273,000 fiber net adds and 239,000 Internet Air net adds. We continue to expect that our fiber reach will grow by about 8 million locations in 2026, including over [indiscernible] new locations we acquired from [ Lumen ]. As we ramp our fiber reach, we expect to see improved trends in our fiber net adds over the course of the year while still considering typical seasonality. We are also seeing strong growth in our business fiber and advanced connectivity service revenues, which include business fixed wireless and value-added services. In the quarter, these revenues grew 7.2% year-over-year which is consistent with the trend last quarter and improved from mid-single-digit growth a year ago. As John noted, total Advanced Connectivity business service revenues were essentially flat year-over-year for the first time ever. Based on our improved sales execution and expanding fiber reach, we expect total business service revenues within Advanced Connectivity segment to remain stable in the near term and continue to grow at a low single-digit CAGR through 2028. Advanced Connectivity EBITDA grew 5.6% year-over-year, and we improved EBITDA margin by 30 basis points des”
