I am also surprised. However, we have had a total of 5 complaints about network speed over a 3 year period. One possible reason is that because they own the infrastructure collectively and pay for the bandwidth directly (I just manage everything for them), they are prepared to put up with

Paul, I have hard time seeing how you aren't maxing out that circuit. We see about 2.3 mbps average per customer at peak with a primarily residential user base. That would about 575 mbps average at peak for 250 users on our network so how do we use 575 but you say your users don't even top 100

Mixed residential (ages 25 - 75, 1 - 6 people per unit), group who worked together to keep costs down. Works well for them. Friday nights we get to about 85% utilization (Netflix), other than that, usually sits between 25 - 45% paul > On Apr 2, 2019, at 5:44 PM, Jared Mauch wrote: >

I would say this is perhaps atypical but may depend on the customer type(s). If they’re residential and use OTT data then sure. If it’s SMB you’re likely in better shape. - Jared > On Apr 2, 2019, at 5:21 PM, Paul Nash wrote: > > FWIW, I have a 250 subscribers sitting on a 100M fiber into

Certainly. Projecting demand is one thing. Figuring out what to buy for your backbone, edge (uplink & peer), and colo (for CDN caches too!), for which scale+growth is quite another. And yeah, Jim, overall, things have stayed the same. There are just the nuances added with caches, gaming, OTT

Residential whatnow? Sorry, to be honest, there really isn’t any. I suppose if one is buying lit services, this is important to model. But an *incredibly* huge residential network can be served by a single basic 10/40g backbone connection or two. And if you own the glass it’s trivial to
