That's why telco's and cableco's use a 20 or 30 year ROI.

But how do you pay for your fiber installation if you don't charge

I’ve written about this multiple times and if I remember right
Mike, you hammered me.
We are also doing marketing tests right now and found that
even if CenturyLink can’t maintain NetFlix without buffering
with a supposed 10Mbps circuit, offering 50Mbps at the same
price doesn’t get people to change although that’s early
results. We are finding price is better.

I remember hearing Chuck Hogg and Gerard Dupont @ Shelby
Wireless explain when they started fiber they left it wide
open for a few months just to see....they did not see an
unusually large change just because service was wide open....

Back in the early days, I doubled the speeds of all of our
customers 2 or 3 times due to competitive pressures and
advancements in Canopy. I never increased the price, just
went from 256 to 512 to 1024. Never saw an increase in
the bandwidth usage on our uplinks.
What could a Bob and Sally homeowner and their kids do to
make a significant usage of a Gig? Of course everyone
thinks it is sexy and the next thing you gotta have, but
there only so many 4K 3D TVs a person can watch at one
time. I guess they could host a server farm etc, but most
folks will not even fully utilize 50M in the near future.

Interesting.
Of course, one way to read the numbers is they could
“upgrade” all the 110/50 customers to 1000/1000 and the
only change would be $400 less revenue per month, and
probably no more bandwidth usage. This is probably the
marketing approach of most gigabit ISPs. If some killer
app comes out that actually uses gigabit speeds, their
bluff is called.
