For fiber providers
Homes passed versus
homes that can order.
Before we accept a market, we measure it. Public FCC filings tell us who serves every home. Our own live availability checks tell us which doors can order today.
What we measure
Measured before we staff.
Homes passed tells us the size of the build. Live checks tell us how many doors can order today. We staff a market to the doors that can order.

Checks run August 12, 2026 to October 5, 2026
On your network, you send your homes passed and we staff to the doors that can order.
The race you are in
Homes passed is a cost. Penetration is the payback.
The build-out is crowded: a record 11.8 million US homes were newly passed with fiber in 2025, per the Fiber Broadband Association’s annual deployment survey, with about $167 billion more construction forecast this half-decade. Every one of those builds is chasing the same switching households yours is. The doors decide who gets them.
Cable households are in motion.
The major cable companies have each lost over a million broadband subscribers since 2023 and kept shedding them every quarter into 2026. Those households are picking their next provider right now.
A door won stays won.
Fiber churn runs about 1.4% a month. The provider who signs a home during the switching window tends to keep it for years, which cuts both ways: every home you do not reach settles in with someone else.
The rest is won at the door.
Mailers and digital reach the households that were already going to switch. The take rate above that baseline gets won in person, street by street, and a build without a door program leaves it to the incumbent’s retention offers.
Two words
In the footprint, and orderable.
In the footprint
An address where the network is on record, orderable today or not yet.
Orderable
An address open for orders the day it was checked. Pre-orders and coming soon do not count.
Straight answers
What providers ask.
What is the difference between homes passed and serviceable homes?
Homes passed counts the homes the network reaches. Serviceable homes are the addresses open for orders on the day they are checked. Pre-orders and coming soon do not count.
How does RCLX measure a market?
Public FCC filings tell us who serves every home. Our own live availability checks tell us which doors can order today.
Why measure before staffing?
We staff a market to the doors that can order. Tell us your homes passed and we will tell you what your market can support.
