I've done that. They're just not big users. They *need* faster just because.
I need to upgrade my tower soon, but the rest are well fed and barely eating. I can pull up the usage graphs and see every time I go out onsite or work on someone's computer. The entire tower usage increases significantly just because of me. You'd figure 20 households would use more bandwidth than one IT guy on the clock. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Richardson To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speed questions Lift your limiters for a night and see what the network does. That will give you an idea of where you need to upgrade You may have a choke point between the AP's and the Internet you aren't aware of so the user traffic is being limited but not in the way you might think. Jerry R From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Glen Waldrop Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 3:43 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Speed questions I've got a handful of customers that are requesting higher speeds. We currently offer 4Mbps to the customer. Only a few even come close to using that. I've got three towers that don't even hit 4Mbps on a 5 minute average, much less individual customers. I've got three customers in particular that hardly ever use the Internet and constantly harrang me for higher speeds. I'm upgrading everything anyway, so it is just a matter of time, but how do you guys handle that? I could turn up their speed and sell them 10Mbps fairly easily, but they're not even hitting my 4Mbps limit 99% of the time. I'm seeing this biting me in the ass either way I go.
