Subscriber Values
As ISP stocks continue to be volatile, some subscriber values have changed significantly in just one month. Dialup ISPs are less volatile than other types—as wireless and cable ISPs run into trouble, dialup ISPs are doing fine.

We list public companies only and do not include ISPs that are part of much larger firm, like MSN, for example. Current subscriber counts are derived from corporate reports and ISP-Planet's ISP Rankings.
WSRN.com is the source for market data. Market capitalization data is as of market close on August 15, 2001.
History
In response to readers' requests, we now provide historical data for the
subscriber values
here .
Transaction data
Third party subscriber value research from MCG Capital Corporation
averages the ISPs that MCG has bought and sold in the past year. Revenue
per subscriber per month is particularly interesting data.
Note, however, that the rate of ISP deals is declining drastically.

AOL subscriber
numbers include RoadRunner and CompuServe
but use Q1 numbers for RoadRunner. Q1 numbers
also used to Internet America, Log On America, and NetZero. Juno and
NetZero now provide
a mix of fee and free services and will merge into United Online. Log On America
is fighting a NASDAQ delisting, Internet America was delisted. ISP subscriber values without AOL would average $221 per subscriber.
