What Catalina Broadband Solutions does

Catalina Broadband Solutions, LLC is a privately held cable television and internet service provider operating exclusively on Santa Catalina Island, California, headquartered in Avalon. Founded around 2014 (a founding year of 2022 also appears in the data), the company serves residents, businesses, and visitors on a geographically isolated island community. It functions as the primary local ISP and cable operator, delivering services over a CATV RF coax distribution network with fiber optic upgrades and DOCSIS-based cable modem service.

The product portfolio spans residential television (Starter, Basic, and Expanded channel tiers plus premium add-ons such as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz/Encore), residential internet across five speed tiers (Pilot 20/5 Mbps through Platinum+ 200/20 Mbps), business television (tailored to offices, restaurants/bars, and hotels), and business internet with symmetric speeds up to 200/200 Mbps that include static IPs, unlimited data, and 24/7 US-based support. Supplementary offerings include WatchTVEverywhere (a multi-device streaming add-on free with TV subscription), a Rental Internet Upgrade for visitors (Platinum Plus 200 Mbps on daily/weekly/monthly terms), a Hospitality Suite bundle for hotels, and public WiFi hotspot services across the island.

The business model is subscription-based and direct-to-consumer, with recurring monthly fees for TV and internet packages and pay-as-you-go pricing for visitor rental upgrades. Go-to-market is entirely direct: customers subscribe via the website, by phone, or in person at the company office, with account management and billing handled through the cableanytime.com portal. Residential internet ranges from $49.95 to $99.95/month, television from $32.66 to $116.16/month, and business internet from $69.95 to $309.95/month, with two-year business agreements offered for savings. Customer segments are split across residential households, business/hospitality establishments, and transient visitors/tourists.

Direct peers

• Vyve Broadband: Small-scale cable MSO serving rural and smaller communities across multiple states. Directly comparable in scale, geographic focus, and operating model—cable TV and broadband to residential and business customers in defined local markets.
• Astound Broadband: Regional cable and fiber operator serving smaller U.S. markets with residential and business broadband, TV, and voice services. Comparable in serving geographically constrained territories with HFC + fiber infrastructure.
• TDS Telecom: Regional broadband provider offering cable, fiber, and DSL internet plus TV services to rural and smaller U.S. communities. Directly comparable in serving defined local markets with bundled residential and business offerings.
• Consolidated Communications: Regional ISP/cable operator providing broadband, TV, and voice services to residential and business customers in smaller markets across the U.S. Comparable operating model focused on non-major-metro geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Mediacom Communications: Larger cable MSO providing broadband, video, and voice to smaller U.S. markets. Operates the same HFC + DOCSIS model but at national scale—useful as a scale comparison point for Catalina Broadband's operating economics.

• Charter Communications (Spectrum): One of the largest U.S. cable MSOs providing HFC-based broadband, video, and voice. Broad incumbent for comparison, but operates at vastly greater scale across major and secondary markets.
• Cox Communications: Large private cable MSO offering residential and business broadband, TV, and voice. Same HFC/cable operating model and bundled service portfolio, though serving larger metro and regional markets.
