50 Mbps CIR... This is starting to become an issue at the FCC. When they are trying to allocate welfare funds (aka USF and CAF) they are trying to decide who is worthy. Folks with FTTH say that CIR has to be the standard. Anyone can do 50 Mbps MIR with a variety of low cost options these days.

This was a speedtest taken by one of my customers this morning. The thing that surprised me was the 85% number. I’m not sure of the source of the data but if that’s correct, then there is a huge opportunity that we all need to be looking at. In this case, it’s a lowly Nanostation Loco M5 to an older XM Rocket. Even though there is about 40 customers on it, it wasn’t under a lot of load when this was taken. But the point is, 50Mbps is a relatively easy number to hit with 802.11ac and it also means, 85% of the country is where we need to be competing.
