Unless the main competitor is Comcast. Many people will take equal or
even lower Mbps to get away from them.

You can be the fastest by a factor of 10, the only option in the area is 4Mbps
DSL and that's when it works and definitely not at 7pm at night, and you can be
the cheapest and it still takes a massive marketing effort to get 50% to switch.

I personally know one of their original engineers for Kansas City. I have heard
they have many areas with 85%+ take rate, and that the original free/low-cost
tier is a very small percentage in these areas.

That number they report is meaningless.
I bet their take in Provo is very high.
Also, it just doesn’t take a lot of employees to run fiber once it’s
installed correctly.
The layoff may not actually be indicative of anything other than the
job is done and now they maintain.
I call BS on this article.
