It will be interesting to see what VM's penetration rate is. Its existing 42% penetration rate probably includes a lot of people who have been with VM for a long while. It would be optimistic to think that a similar proportion would convert to VM from other providers because of inertia. I guess it depends on the speeds from VM's competitors in the area and turnover of occupants.

I think your words in bold sum it up.
