Suddenlink FYI

More than 88,000 Suddenlink phone customers notched a record 2.5 million calls on Suddenlink’s network Jan. 2 — for an average of 28 calls per customer in a single day.

One year earlier on Jan. 2, the company logged about 500,000 calls by approximately 30,000 phone customers, primarily in West Texas.

That year-over-year difference is a direct result of the popularity of Suddenlink phone service and the expansion (last year) of the service’s availability to approximately 80% (up from 16%) of the company’s operating area.
