With the speed package (I can pull up to 150Mbps down, but evening get 65Mbps or so) I have I can’t think of anything that has taken 2 hours to download… and realistically the servers are going to be your bottleneck anyways

That's true but I'm saying that customers won't understand you can reduce it from 10h to 2h if you upgrade. Even if the few that understand were aware, they wouldn't shell out the extra money.

All they do is start it and walk away. I believe it's a line - a few seconds and I can use it or minutes/hours+ so they come back to it later. Fiber company down here in Dayton started up and just got their first condo/rental place. First customer was yesterday. Gigabit speeds (even though the speed tests in the video peaked out at 250 megs - probably our servers!) The comment that stood out was $75 is too expensive.

They just need to run speedtests constantly to make sure their evil ISP isn't cheating them.

Recently we cut the burst from 100 MBytes to about 6 MBytes (actually 8 seconds worth) at one tower while doubling everyone’s sustained speeds. Previously this tower had Trango APs and the highest burst speed you could get was about 8 Mbps, but when we upgraded to 450 the speedtests temporarily went to 30-50 Mbps. Of course we got whining from people who saw their speedtests drop to merely what they were paying for. Didn’t matter that we doubled their sustained speed, which is a huge deal for video streaming. And that speeds are consistent even at peak usage times. Plus a 6 MByte burst is enough that most websites should still load at max speed available. It’s like some people get Internet just to run speedtests, rather than real traffic. Are some people addicted to speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net> ?

Just got this… and yes this is my home internet connection I wonder what speed you need to get about the 85% benchmark.

This was a speedtest taken by one of my customers this morning. The thing that surprised me was the 85% number. I’m not sure of the source of the data but if that’s correct, then there is a huge opportunity that we all need to be looking at. In this case, it’s a lowly Nanostation Loco M5 to an older XM Rocket. Even though there is about 40 customers on it, it wasn’t under a lot of load when this was taken. But the point is, 50Mbps is a relatively easy number to hit with 802.11ac and it also means, 85% of the country is where we need to be competing.
