I think it’s definitely market dependent. I have MDU areas which are more transient and possibly lower income that the take rate hovers around 50 percent.
Then I have affluent neighborhoods where the take rate is near 80% like stated below. Each neighborhood is different even within our city. It is very interesting. I use our database of people that have already signed up for a neighborhood to help prioritize our build. It would be wise to do marketing research to see what would happen in any given area.

I've got a couple areas that we are doing marketing testing in, much smaller sample, and I'm getting a hard lesson in what you have to do to get people to switch. 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 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.
