| 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. |

Dallas, GA | wish AT&T got in the mix. I know they said they wouldn't but man it would be good business. |

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.
