Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Comcast Corp., the largest U.S.cable-television company, reported third-quarter profit that beat analysts’ estimates, bolstered by subscriber gains and higher monthly bills.

The company netted 1.07 million new cable, Internet and phone customers, exceeding the 609,000 estimate of David Joyce, an analyst at Miller Tabak & Co. in New York. Price promotions - - along with rate increases at Verizon Communication Inc.’s FiOS TV service -- may have helped lure customers to Comcast.
