Here in Midwest Kansas the competition is surprisingly tough. The AT&T's
out there continue to escalate speeds and drop pricing...however, we
continue to kill the competition with our local flavor of services.
People here in the rural settings tend to buy into the "we are the local
guys" more then the metro areas I think. We typically put a face to our
names unlike the "please wait on hold" Telco's. That's the good 'ol
Midwest for ya...customers in your neck of the woods might not be that
faithful.

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.
