Yes, it is a bunch of plans! The PowerBurst options are new, to keep up with 
perceptions of DSL and cable (at least try).  The “upper plans” were thrown in 
there to see what happens, and my salesman is very good and has a surprising 
number of people take the upper plans.

I see the NON-PowerBurst plans going away sometime after the whole network is 
upgrade to ePMP or 450 series.

Thanks for sharing Paul!  That is a ton of service plans.  Do you find 
customers getting confused with the larger number of options or do you find 
that they appreciate your flexibility?

Jeremy,

Yes we share that info with the customer.  Here is our rate plan.  Of course, 
the top ends (burst or sustained) of any plan will need to adjust upward as the 
market does.  This method, right or wrong, was designed to make sure that 
customers who are sustaining bandwidth are paying for it, so I can justify the 
resource of APs, BHs, etc. over time.  And, 50% of the customer paying for a 
higher sustained rate, are using that rate pretty regularly.  There are only 
caps on our lite plan and our standard plan (125GB).  Everything else is 
unlimited.   To us, the sustained is the key.

Do you share your burst and sustained rates with the customer?  Will you share 
them here? Do you offer a 25Mbps burst Paul?  Your website is down.

Andy, but is that a SUSTAINED 25/5?  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

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

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.

Minimum definition of "broadband" is now 25Mbps down and 3Mbps up. My question 
is, if you say "up to", does that qualify? ;)
