The Comcast pricing you have listed is for their best-effort 'up-to' service. For a WISP to provide those speeds you will usually be providing a dedicated PTP. The cost for 'dedicated' from Comcast is like $5K or more for 100/100 dedicated (a 10x10 dedicated was around $2K a month from them last I checked). Why would you provide a dedicated service for the cost of their best effort service? The PTP to provide those speeds are likely to cost thousands per link. I prefer to compete with their dedicated pricing (where I beat them by a couple thousand per month). If they want the smokin' deal that is their best-effort business class let them have it. I have no intent of competing with those prices. The real money is in dedicated connections.
