So 28% of Verizon landline customers have FIOS. Its more than a quarter.

If they promise 18 million by 2010, thats 55% of Verizon landline will have fios. (1/(33/18))*100=54.5454545 That is over half.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19945755 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:02:57 EDT Re: Ok.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940960 SlyLoK :

Yes they do. That is why you see companies use flat numbers instead of percentages in cases like this. 9 million looks a lot better than 17% .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940960 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:55:27 EDT Re: Ok.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940900 Pathfinder :

3 million per year times 3 years = 9 million plus 9.3 million = 18 million.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940900 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:43:47 EDT Re: Ok.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940882 Karl Bode : "passed" generally refers to homes able to get the service, not homes that subscribe....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940882 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:41:56 EDT Re: Ok.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19940865 Pathfinder : By passed they mean it is available to 9.3 million homes or businesses.
