Not where I live, but where my WISP is.
Which is somewhere people live if (a) they can't afford anywhere else, or
(b) they were born there and never moved. In other words, rural America. A
place where I have to explain why our antenna doesn't pick up any TV
channels. Where people still run Windows ME and Vista, and don't know what
a web browser is because they only check email and play solitaire. Where
there is no shame in having an aol.com email address (and checking it once a
month). Where I have a customer who uses her Internet solely to stream a
Christian TV channel and if it is off the air thinks her Internet is down
and if we ask her to check and see if she can bring up the Google website,
has no idea what we are talking about. Google? Website?

Half my customers can’t even spell Google. (No, don’t go to goggle.com)
The other half think they already have Google for their Internet provider,
because that’s what the screen says after they click on Internet.

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.

I would like to know what their take rate is in percentage for a given
area(s).
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.
