Because speed isn't everything. Mesa went head to head with Cable and DSL for a long time... offering packages of 7Mb this or that. Our highest package was 2.5Mb/1Mb. Yet we still did a very respectful job, because we offered the best customer service around, and people liked using a local company.
I would challenge... is why does anyone need more than 2Mb at home? I have a 15Mb Business Class Comcast connection at home... it burst to 30Mb. Yet it doesn't feel any faster than a 2Mb connection to me. Now if I'm downloading files... :-) Daniel White 3-dB Networks http://www.3dbnetworks.com >-----Original Message----- >From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On >Behalf Of Mike Hammett >Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 11:58 AM >To: WISPA General List >Subject: Re: [WISPA] 2nd Look @ 3.65 ? > >2 megs is yesterday's news. > >U-Verse is 18/1.5 >FiOS is 50/20 >Charter has 60/5 >Comcast has 50/10 > >2 megs is 36 times faster than 56k.
