- Verizon has reported a staggering loss of 289,000 postpaid subscribers in the first quarter of 2025.
- The company has attributed the decline to recent price hikes.
Verizon may still be the largest carrier in the US, but its latest earnings report suggests that size doesn’t always equal satisfaction. The company has revealed that it lost a staggering 289,000 postpaid subscribers in the first quarter of 2025, a sharp reversal from the 568,000 subscribers it gained just one quarter earlier. The number is even more shocking because it’s more than double the decline Verizon saw in the same period last year. So, what’s behind this dramatic subscriber exit?
