Cablefax Top Ops 2025

In this issue:

Cablefax is proud to unveil the 2025 Top Ops honorees—a powerhouse lineup of operators, fiber providers, and broadband leaders who are not just meeting industry demands, but actively reshaping the future of connectivity. These standouts are delivering operational excellence, elevating the customer experience, and steering their companies through a landscape defined by transformation, competition, and convergence.

This year’s list reflects an industry at an inflection point. From consolidation and leadership transitions to cutting-edge fiber expansion and next-gen service models, the operational side of the cable and broadband ecosystem is in motion like never before. Whether it’s a strategic turnaround, a technology leap, or a culture-first leadership style, our honorees are setting the pace—and the standard.

The 2025 issue also celebrates the return of the Founders Circle Award, presented to an industry icon whose leadership has helped shape the very foundation of the business. And while we’ve paused on naming an MSO of the Year for now, it’s only because the race is too close to call—underscoring the sheer level of innovation and momentum across the board.

Our theme this year is mountains—symbols of perspective, endurance, and ambition. Within these pages, you’ll find the guides, trailblazers, and visionaries climbing to new heights and clearing a path for the rest of the industry.

“This year, we didn’t name an MSO of the Year—not because there’s a lack of progress, but because there’s so much of it. From Charter and Cox’s joint venture to Comcast’s renewed focus on transparency, the landscape is shifting fast. We’re watching the evolution unfold in real time,” said Cablefax Editorial Director Amy Maclean. “That’s why the mountain theme felt right—because it’s about both the climb and the view from the top. The leaders in this issue are scaling new heights and showing others the way.”
