going back to check T & VZ's numbers....
T (Business wireline) lost $1.22 billions a quarters of business voice. 2017-1Q ($3.629B) 2019-1Q ($2.404B) Lost $3.1B voice. CTL lost $600m voice. T's 1Q voice was only 66% of 2017-1Q, lost of 33%. CTL's lost less consumer voice than business.
VZ's wireline voice (residential mostly) lost very limited voice customers. I believe the rate of voice revenue deterioration will slow down.
But when compare ISP service revenue, either on business or consumer, it is holding stable and up a little on consumer and business. $430m up (T's business wireline 2017-1Q vs 2019-1Q)
So there is reason to believe the data revenue will continue to grow. Either on consumer or business. As long as you don't have big part of revenue from business voice (like T) and you don't have big part of revenue from cables video programing like (T/VZ/CMCSA/CHTR). It will not look good...
Like Charter, look good on video revenue, but the programing cost is going up, not much profit from it. CTL's EBIDTA 10B vs CHTR $16B and CHTR still have 45% revenue from video and voice. A big problem. If T and VZ are all losing video customers, no reason CTHR and CMCSA won't, especially when DIS and its ESPN go on-line.
All the craps from analysts....
