Hi,
We have DSL, Cable, licensed 2.5ghz wireless providers and several other
WISP's in our areas. We are the most expensive out of all of them (512k
= $39.95 per month). However, we offer a real, static IP address for
every customer. We offer a free firewall/wireless router during the
install, and we have local support. We also guarantee our speed ("If you
buy 512k, you get 512k all the time, 24 hours per day"). We also offer
the same upload and download speed ("If you buy 1meg, you get 1meg down
AND 1meg up").
The other WISP in the area is selling 4meg down x 1meg up for $34.95
("best effort speeds").
Licensed, "take the indoor modem with you from work to home, etc."
provider is doing 3meg for $29.95
Cable is $29.95 for "up to 5 megs".
DSL is $29.95 for "up to 7 megs".
And, right now, we have more business than we can keep up with. We did
114 installs last month and could have done 140+ if we could find
installers to hire.

I've been looking through a LOT of "wisp" and "supposed wisp" websites
at service pricing / traffic levels.
Are you all NOT in competition areas where the iLECs are dishing out
5mbps/768kbps DSL everywhere you look ?
I am, and now combine that with Cable modems @ a MINIMUM of 10mbps down
and 2 mbps up.
All priced around $40 / month residentially.
HOW do we put up hardware, and what kind, that will compete at those
traffic levels ?
EASY to put up 1m/512 service - no one will use it tho.
