Where we live there is wireline...., but it was installed in ~~ 1975,
and is _way_ past the rot stage. I would call this area greenfield as
long as you can deal with a population density of about 3 or 4 people
per square mile.

I seem to have more green field that I can get to and I have never
felt a need to overbuild. I find it odd that CATV companies will
install coax in these subdivisions but never return to activate it.
We love those.

Some people will sign up even if you’re higher priced, just because
they hate the cable company that much.
You can offer higher speed at the same price and you’ll get some more.
If you offer higher speed, and also lower price, and also put the
effort and money into getting the message out then you get the 30%.
It’s not 30% across the board either, in some areas we end up higher
than that, but 30% seems to be a safe enough number to plan on.
So it certainly helps to undercut them. Internet customers have a lot
of momentum. If there’s no compelling reason for them to switch right
now then they won’t switch right now just because they’re not thinking
about it most of the time. Even if they have a reason to switch they
may not even know you’re there, and the cable company has so much
advertising the customer will always be aware of them. Even when you
build in an unserved area and you’re infinitely better than the
satellite or long range DSL options you STILL have to put effort into
making the sales because a lot of the people out there made their
peace with what they have, and they’re not going to seek you out until
something triggers them to do so.

Do you have to undercut to get penetration?

About 30%
We’re intentionally overbuilding Spectrum/Charter, and undercutting
them at $50/month vs their $75/month.

Those of you doing fiber, what are you seeing for take-rates in a
scenario where you are overlaying a cable network? I'm getting to the
point where that may be the direction I have to go.
Thanks.
