Our philosophy is that we can still get “hurt” at the infrastructure level by someone that would insist on using 25Mbit/sec for 3 days straight that wouldn’t hit the 300gbit cap. We find we get more sustained type users (streaming HD) than ever before. Nothing worse than getting 5 or 6 people on a 2.4 ghz sector and have it be “full”. Its not like I can put up another one going the same direction. We fully guarantee the sustained part of our plan and people hold us to it.
Just a different consideration… no one way is right or wrong.

If they run 25Mbps 24/7 they're going to get overages for $1/GB That's the mechanism for keeping the excessive use at bay.

Can a customer hit it for 3 solid hours that way (and actually get the bandwidth) and you are OK with it? In my book, you cant assume someone doing that is going to hit their 300gbit cap necessarily, but they can sure mess with you other capacity’s (AP, BH path) etc. We do a burst rate of xxx/yyy and a sustained (after 30 seconds) of aaa/bbb which helps a little bit with that, looks great on a speed test, and meets customer perception issues From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andy Trimmell Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 10:57 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25Mbps The customers we have on 25Mbps barely use it to its full extent. Streaming services are only using about 5Mbps of it. When they're browsing the web they use anywhere from 10-20 but its seldom and its just bursting. I wouldn't try 25Mbps on UBNT sectors but there's some GPS timed stuff out there that would probably work for 15 customers. We charge $80 for 25/5 with 300GB From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 10:52 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25Mbps How many WISPs out there offer 25x3? What do you charge for it? Are there bandwidth limits or is it unlimited? I'm trying to understand how we could reliably provide this service without putting 5-10 customers per AP.
