We tried to use the same contract that we got from a tower owner that

We really aren't seeing much of a change either. We are seeing a
small number of users using more bandwidth but nothing crazy.
However, we have plenty of cheap bandwidth with two redundant fiber
connections and 60GHz/licensed connection to tower.
Our main concern is the limitation of the APs. S
Weird. Ours is completely the opposite. We keep adding customers by the
truck load, but bandwidth only slowly climbs.

Things like Netflix do pose an interesting challenge to ISPs and I'm not
