> The article says it provides 10Gbps of service to 98% of customers upon request

This part is funny to me because I've tried to sign up for their FttH and they declined despite it being in the area, and the same thing happened to others I know. I'm not sure how they came to that percentage but I don't believe it.

I suspect there's something like of the people who go through qualification and get an offer from Comcast 98% request to install it.

You probably didn't give them all the info unless you were ready to pay for it. And all the other people that get disqualified didn't count.

+1. I've read in various forums they will only install it if the construction cost is less than a few thousand dollars. This means they will say it's "available" on the order page, but then decline to install it.
