Recent quarterly growth was 5% [30][31]. - **Cost to Build**: The cost to pass a home is between $900-$1,000, expected to stabilize between $800-$900 in the future, which is competitive within the industry [54]. Future Outlook - **Growth Strategy**: The focus will be on increasing fiber penetration in less competitive markets, enhancing customer experience, and potentially exploring M&A opportunities to further strengthen market position [38][49]. - **Fiber to the Home Expansion**: Continued investment in replacing copper networks with fiber is expected to drive growth, with a strategic approach to pricing and service offerings to attract customers [25][30].
