How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2
I just wanted to ask what changed in the first 6 months for you to lower your target for EBITDA.
Show response
Fischer named both causes directly: weaker broadband subscribers and ARPU from the failed retention offers, plus controllable expense pressure.
there were some press reports mentioning that Starlink may look to partner with Charter. Any comment on that?
Show response
Winfrey declined to confirm or deny, framing it as routine industry dialogue with nothing to announce.
Calendar 2026 Q1
do you think you've pulled all the levers on pricing strategy? Or are there more pricing changes to come?
Show response
Chris said current strategy is working, no plans to change. Tried 5-year price locks in trials without seeing necessary lift. Jessica noted Internet ARPU growth for the year will be close either way, depending on offer tuning and pricing decisions not yet made.
Calendar 2025 Q4
could you just provide us any details on how your market share has trended in markets where you're competing against fiber operators for a few years now
Show response
Chris confirmed greater penetration than fiber competitors in mature overlap areas, overbuild impact limited to few percentage points in first year of new vintage. Jessica on EBITDA ex-political: 'maybe', goal to overcome broadband sub headwind with mobile growth, Internet ARPU growth, and operational improvements.
Calendar 2025 Q3
So Chris, it seems like there's a theme at play here where you flipped the script on how you've marketed your products historically.
Show response
Chris explained video framing (same product expressed differently for over-35 vs younger audiences) and 4-line mobile offer (small audience but accretive: customers take speed upgrades, Unlimited Plus, ARPU higher than average acquisition). Jessica added that 4-line customers have very low churn and high lifetime value.
