The earnings call presented a mixed picture with strong achievements in adjusted EBITDA and ARPU, as well as successful fiber expansion in greenfield markets. However, this was offset by declines in high-speed data revenue, total revenue, and HSD subscribers, along with a significant drop in traditional video subscribers.
