We grandfathered all plans on the WISP I purchased. They are grandfathered indefinitely, but will go away if you ever upgrade. In that respect, we did it sort of like the cellular companies. They had an elderly discount and those people pay $26.20. They were told that it was up to 1Mbps with a 5GB monthly cap. We raised it to 5Mbps with a 25GB monthly cap, since there were no limits being enforced before and people were actually seeing as much as the antenna would pull at that time. Most everyone has moved up due to the monthly bandwidth. The few that kept the plan don't use that much data at all. Only one downgraded to our $20 plan.
