Also home/private access (talking DSL here, not E1/T1!) usually is overbooked 25:1, whereas business connection are usually between 10:1 and 1:1 rates... Assuming the 10:1 ratio vs. 25:1, it would mean a company would have to pay 2,5 times what a customer pays for the ISP to make the same... at 4:1 (another common ratio) that would be 6.25 times as much... At EUR 75 for a home connection that'd be USD 525 for the business at 4:1 ratio... I can imagine the home fiber connection will probably be multiplexed to share a single uplink with x other homes as well, so you'd probably be looking at similar issues as I mentioned regarding the DSL ... -- Francesco Peeters ---- GPG Key = AA69 E7C6 1D8A F148 160C D5C4 9943 6E38 D5E3 7704 If your program doesn't recognize my signature, please visit http://www.CAcert.org/index.php?id=3 to retrieve the Root CA certificate. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
