Cash Cows
Legacy DSL Maintenance for 1.2 Million Subscribers
BrightSpeed's legacy DSL serving 1.2 million subscribers generated roughly $180 million in revenue in FY2025, providing steady, high-margin cash flow as depreciated plant lowers costs.
With EBITDA margins near 55% on DSL in 2025, management is harvesting free cash to fund fiber capex-BrightSpeed spent $420 million on fiber buildouts in FY2025.
Traditional Landline Voice Services
Traditional landline voice services remain BrightSpeed's cash cow: in FY2025 the segment generated about $420 million in EBITDA on roughly $900 million revenue, requiring minimal capex as copper networks age.
Many rural residential and small-business customers still rely on copper voice for reliability, keeping churn low at ~6% annually and ARPU stable near $28/month.
In 2025 these cash flows funded interest payments on $1.7 billion corporate debt and covered operating costs, preserving liquidity and service continuity.
Wholesale Copper Access and Infrastructure Leasing
BrightSpeed earns steady passive income by leasing pole attachments, conduits, and copper lines; infrastructure leasing generated about $210 million in revenue in FY2025, up 2% YoY, needing almost no marketing and offering high margin cash flow.
These long-term contracts-average duration 8-12 years-deliver predictable EBITDA of roughly $140 million in 2025, anchoring BrightSpeed's bottom-line stability and funding capex for fiber buildouts.
Business SIP Trunking and Legacy Voice Solutions
