Sure, but even from this distance out, I look another hour or two away and it's not much different.
Towns and subdivisions have coverage from a cable or fiber operator already. Not in towns or subdivisions and it isn't worth doing a wireline solution to. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2022 2:48:45 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Overlaying Cable Network Move more than 60 minutes away from one of the largest cities in the country?

I find it odd that CATV companies will install coax in these subdivisions but never return to activate it. We love those.

You can offer higher speed at the same price and you’ll get some more. If you offer higher speed, and also lower price, and also put the effort and money into getting the message out then you get the 30%. It’s not 30% across the board either, in some areas we end up higher than that, but 30% seems to be a safe enough number to plan on. So it certainly helps to undercut them. Internet customers have a lot of momentum. If there’s no compelling reason for them to switch right now then they won’t switch right now just because they’re not thinking about it most of the time. Even if they have a reason to switch they may not even know you’re there, and the cable company has so much advertising the customer will always be aware of them. Even when you build in an unserved area and you’re infinitely better than the satellite or long range DSL options you STILL have to put effort into making the sales because a lot of the people out there made their peace with what they have, and they’re not going to seek you out until something triggers them to do so.

I'm getting to the point where that may be the direction I have to go.
