We started with a business cable connection up to 100 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up for our first 120 customers. They said we could resell it OUTSIDE their service area which was only in town. We targeted everyone out of town and we were both happy. We quickly outgrew the cable connection but it worked while we started up and we had our contract amended to allow reselling outside their service area. Of course we moved to a fiber connection after the cable connection. Now we have lots of fiber bandwidth for under $2 Meg and working to get that even lower.
The cost for the cable was $250 a month if I remember right so it really helped our cash flow starting out.
