Verizon Wireless has matched Cingular by adding 1.7 million subscribers during the first quarter of 2006. Verizon beat Cingular, however, on churn rate by posting a record figure of 1.18 percent, compared with Cingular's rate of 1.9 percent. Revenue from services increased 16 percent to $7.6 billion, but as was the case with Cingular, average revenue per user decreased.
