Grin. Sure, we'd all pay $50 for 30 megs.
So go get it for YOUR connectivity and offer 10 megs for $35 and still
make a ton of money!
Sorry, can't do it, it's not a resellable connection. However, they will
sell you a 30Mbps resellable package for $199/month.
As long as we maintain the ability to buy these types of connections I
think it's actually a good thing for the wips.
Unfortunately, we don't.
Our wireless just went from 1.5 megs (was limited by the t-1) to 3 meg
with NO increase in cost to the customer. No need for them to call us
and ask for the new service either. It just happened for them. The
telco NEVER treats their customers that way.
Um, Verizon just doubled their DSL speeds everywhere in their territory
from 1.5Mbps to 3Mbps at no additional charge.
Where I think the whole thing is funny is that the telcos and the
cable cos don't normally upgrade every few years like the wisps do.
They are putting out 30 by 5 megs how far? Our new gear will do over
20 by 20 megs for MILES in all directions! Tomorrow's gear will make
that look like a joke. By the time these guys get around to giving
away 50 megs we'll already be giving people 75!
You have heard of DOCSIS 2.0 and the newest standard DOCSIS 3.0? You do
know that DSL had been upgraded at least three times in the last six
year, right? Next up ADSL 2.0+ with 14Mbps (and down from there)
As to the 30Mbps package it goes for as far as Verizon wants to install
it, it is fiber! As far as 20Mbps symmetrical, so what? The fiber is
essentially limitless as far as bandwidth is concerned while the
equipment you mentioned is "Shared" which is really comparing apples to
rocks! And unless you know for certain that we are going to get a big
chunk of spectrum we are eventually going to reach the limits our bands
can provide. Remember, burst and release is a dying business model, the
ability to deliver sustained bandwidth speeds is now going to be the
rule of the road. This means that 75Mbps shared is not 75Mbps delivered
to each customer sustained. BIG difference.
