The speedy providers are all jumping over each other to compete, now that the "gentlemen's agreement" between providers is no longer a thing... but they are cherry picking from people willing to pay and easily providing the service.
Seems like maybe 3 years ago when all the cable companies were able to compete without exclusivity by block?
In my condo building of 200+ units we have 5 providers now:
- Wave broadband cable
- Comcast cable
- Wave G (10Gbps connection to the building)
- Webpass Google Fiber (microwave to the building)
- CenturyLink (DSL maybe?)
The bummer is outside the high-rise towers, there is not much competition in the neighborhoods and single family homes it seems.
I'm going to say "Probably not". You're talking about people who have chosen to live in lower-density housing with lower internet speeds. I'm sure they'd love higher internet speeds, but not so much that they'd give up the 'lower density housing' part :)
