I'm competing against DSL. Unfortunately, my WISP business is just an expensive hobby, but that will change this fall when I put up two more towers (which should have been up two months ago). DSL is being rolled out in my area and it's had minor effects on my customers. Once people have my service, they don't switch. My pricing is cheaper (besides the expense of the radio) and I don't limit uploads like DSL. For web designers or home techies, this is a MUST.

For those of you serving residential customers, do you compete against DSL and/or cable? If so, how do you differentiate yourself? What is your economic model (i.e. are you profitable yet)? Just for the record we are a small (startup 3/15/03) wisp serving residential customers in South Florida (Lightning Capital of the World.....hooray). I have about 100 customers installed, with more in the wings and unfortunately DSL just rolled in.
