The area targeted, in fact, is a downtown business district. Nearly every
customer/subscriber there has 60/4 from the cable co (charter) and they hate
it. in fact, in the last month, it has been riddled with problems - but now
they seem to have the bugs worked out as i'm not hearing the complaints as much
anymore.
aside from being local, our next major benefit is we can offer faster upload
than they can. our customers 15-20 miles outside of town are surrounded by
trees and are in a whole different world than the downtown area is.
we're thinking a plan that cost less than the lowest entry plan for the
competition (and is still more than enough for the customer) that would also
offer higher upload as well as plans that are similar but also offer higher
upload.
our customer service guys biggest fear now is someone from our existing network
will call wanting these speeds.
these speeds are only available in the downtown area where there are no
trees....

100/50 is really limiting the oversub option, unless youre strictly enforcing
the business (actual business, as in letterhead or tax id, something
identifiable as a business)
in illinois, if we go above 25mb right now we move to symmetric DIA for
businesses that are rural. If youre competing in town with cable or fios, then
thats what youd probably be best served to pricepoint near without any other
value adds, just my two cents as the guy who doesnt own a company.
We went slick, every plan we sell is 3/1, we have three speed tiers based on
your performance that open you up to the next potential speed, same price. but
we only guarantee(ish) the 3/1. this keeps customers limited by powercode to
the best case their installation will support, that way the radios arent doing
the work of trying to deliver more than the link will support. We want as many
customers on the 3rd tier as possible. once per year an account can go through
an audit to see if they can tier up.
we also dont sell speed at all anymore, strictly consumption.

We're starting to deploy much higher speeds in areas with line of sight
(business areas) than we ever have before in our residential areas. I am
thinking the pricing we are thinking of is way too low. I'm interested in what
you'd charge for these plans and what part of the country you are in. Thanks!
30 down / 15 up
60 down / 30 up
100 down / 50 up
What do you charge per phone line?
If you didn't do say 100/50, what do you do?
Thanks everyone!
