80% as I recall?

When my FIOS got put in... the techs originally said (2004) that when about 80% of a given "town" gets on FIOS they would be able to yank the copper down off the poles.. which would kind of dictate a "market success" circa 2004.. but who knows if that number changed.. Verizon has in the past made it quite clear that their intention (2004-2007) is for FIOS to be a ONE WAY TICKET to Fiber. When the light of day is shined upon the subject, they will use 80% as the fall back position and try to look as if they'll do whatever you want.. leave it, take it down, put it back etc..

However, YMMV (your mileage may vary) given the random Verizon tech assigned to the job, etc. It seems to PAY for VZ to NOT piss off customers in the Cablevision (primarily long island) footprint, as they do have another decent option.
