John Stephens, SVP and CFO of AT&T, told investors during its fourth-quarter earnings call that while not every consumer wants 1 Gbps, a growing base of customers are taking this top tier. 

“Thirty percent of our customers are taking a Gig,” Stephens said.

“After we launch our 100% fiber network in a market, we’re seeing more than half of our broadband customers purchase speeds of 100 Mbps or higher,” Stephens said.

Interesting how different the market for ultrafast is when the telco is competing with the cable companies on performance, rather than competing with resellers of its own products cutting margins to the bone and using broadband as a loss-leader to compete purely on price.
