I always said if Google Fiber wanted to prove something, they should wire

85% is certainly realistic from my experience.

I personally know one of their original engineers for Kansas City. 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.

That number they report is meaningless.
I bet their take in Provo is very high.
Also, it just doesn’t take a lot of employees to run fiber once it’s
installed correctly.
The layoff may not actually be indicative of anything other than the job
is
done and now they maintain.
I call BS on this article.
