It's funny when even smaller ILECs like mine realize that running fiber directly to at least all new construction will be better in the long run than relying on an aging copper system.
I've got fiber directly to my house and internet/voice runs over it ... although they don't offer IPTV as of yet.

| Why Verizon's "take rate" is lower
Here's one idea as to why fewer people who can get FiOS opt for it, compared to other fiber providers: perhaps other fiber providers are operating in less competitive markets, where their fiber is the only good option. There may also be some areas where it's the only option available under a deal the housing developers made with the ISP. |

Agreed. And the take-rate for the other companies may be due to muni operations, which I suspect garner a greater percentage being lower-cost and more responsive.
I can get FIOS here, but if the county ran a competing service, I'd almost surely jump over, even if it were at a (slightly) higher-cost.

I guess Verizon will be getting around to hiring that second FIOS customer service rep soon.

Heck, I'd be happy to have copper. You all do realize there are still people in the world without high speed access. I believe we should be taken care of. |
