I would disagree. We are adding 120-140 new subs every month in an area that has 200,000 population total (25,000 square miles). We have cable, DSL, 2.5ghz licensed WiMax, two other WISPs (using Canopy), etc. We are also not the cheapest service in town.
You have to provide some value to your service. We offer local support, symmetrical speeds (upload is the same as download), free wireless firewall/router with install, real static IP address, etc. Travis Microserv Tom Warfield wrote: > You forgot satellite which is picking up steam. > > > Honestly..... > > Now is the time to sell!
