Smart marketing goes a long way. I know of a company that was basically
getting a 3 x T-1 pushed its way because ATT wanted to sell it to them.
Wow, for only $700 per month you can have 4.5 Megabits per second. We
told them go ask about Fiber. By going through a reseller, they were
able to get ATT to install a 10 meg x 10 meg fiber connection for $973
per month. Of course the equipment is 100 meg port and they are actually
getting about 20 + meg both directions, and are VERY happy with this
arrangement. Of course if The TW Telecom rep had actually wanted to sell
the product, they could have had 100 meg over fiber to their site for
about $1400 per month. The fiber is literally in the street outside
their building, but the TW Telecom guy didn't want to sell it.
A fellow Network Engineer has 1.5 meg / 384 k ADSL to his house.
According to ATT's website, for $45 he can get 6 meg / 768 k + 5 static
IP addresses for $45 per month. After having ATT *hang up* on him 3
times, hes has decided to drop ATT and look at other alternatives.

You can always upgrade More!
The key central question is ... how to 'Capitalize' on it and make
some Money.
There are always two ways the Market move .. Either PUSH (try to sell
your excess capacity on the network , making it attractive , lower the
selling price, while increasing margins ... or Packaging your products
differently for a different Target Market).
or PULL .. where the customers are knocking on your doors to demand more.
So.. here is bit of Challenge for All of US, including Rick Travis
If we have the capacity to deliver the high bandwidth to our
customers.. and in our market place the Phone Company is still selling
T1' s and Metro Ethernet's like hot cakes.. then there is only one
possible conclusion .
We need to Review our products / pricing / packaging strategy... since
we are leaving a LOT on the Table..
now, if you tell me that in your / our market place.. the Telco's are
hurting in business because folks are lining up purchase your / our
circuits.. .then and only then I can say you are starting to
'saturate' your territory.. time to expand and break new ground.
Some Food For Thought..

The other question is how much do you pay for the service? It all
comes
down to price.
I can deliver 10Mbps x 10Mbps up to 300Mbps x 300Mbps to anyone that
wants it... however, most people don't want to pay for it... ;)

It's generally known that the 20 Mb burst given by cable

That said, the point I'm trying to make is that the technology
has come so far for mobile cellular data that we are now
unconsciously comparing it side-by-side to fixed terrestrial
broadband technologies (think of it this way, how many WISPs can
deliver up-to speeds of 8-10 Mb to a low power handset in the
middle of a concrete building 3+ miles away from a tower)

I just checked my Charter via Ookla and it said I was getting
20 Mbps down
and 1 Mbps up, horse pucky.
I only get that in speedtests and never when I have to upload
or download a
big file via FTP or whatever.
It generally gets throttled to dial up speeds or worse.
