I have to laugh at the Ring Doorbell commercial.  The odds of someone wanting 
to break in your house that rings the doorbell first is low.  I know there is 
some benefit but the commercial paints as a surefire way to answer remotely, 
lie to the ringer that you are home, and poof, no more intruder problems.

And, the fact that they look the same and easily identifiable to any crook that 
stays up past midnight to see the cheezy commercials.

I had a call from someone yesterday wanting a minimum of 2 Mbps upstream for 
his Ring video doorbell, I wasn’t clear whether that was for 2 doorbells or to 
insure best video quality.  Yuck, seriously?  I have typically seen Nest Cams 
use 200 kbps to the cloud per camera, but supposedly these Ring things want a 
minimum of 1 Mbps.  To see who’s at your door.  In fisheye HD.  What’s next, a 
camera inside my fridge to watch the food and see who’s opening the door?  
Cameras on the pets?

Amazingly, the video doorbell guy wasn’t particularly concerned about 
downstream bandwidth.

With the 200Mbps or even 100Mbps, what are you setting the upload to? The same 
as the download?  That’s my concern.. will we be wasting too many time slots on 
the huge upload when we could dedicated it to the massive download capacity?

We are offering speeds up to 200Mbps with the Mimosa A5 but you have to make 
sure your entire backend is built to deliver it.  To do that , we are expecting 
the A5-360 14’s to be within about ½ mile on average and 40 customers.  We have 
tested out to 1.5 miles with the C5’s, but modulation drops to about 360Mbps.  
In that case, I probably wouldn’t offer more than 100Mbps.  However, that 
changes when the A5c and B5 sector products come out with bigger antenna 
options.

XL is using the new Mimosa A5 hardware for those speeds, not the Ubiquiti AC. I 
would be confident offering those speeds with the new Mimosa gear if you have 
great signals and keep distance low.

So we’re looking at adding some new AC-only rates to our pricing and wondering 
what ya’ll are doing.

We normally have a three-level hierarchical policer that lets us do a commit 
and a burst rate and a burst bucket (MB).
We also usually have the upload close to the same commit as the download, but 
with a smaller bucket and burst size than the download.
We’re wondering if we’re going to be using up too many upload timeslots in 
continuing the semi-symmetrical upload/download options.

I noticed at the show the XL Broadband guy had a 25/5, 50/6, 75/7, and 100/8 
set of packages.  Thoughts?  Does limiting the upload by that much really buy 
you that much on airtime?

Thanks,
