Travis,
Nice work! Therefore, you are selling dedicated bandwidth to all of
your customers. In other words, if all your customers run speed test
at the same time they will get what their plan allows. If you dont
mind, I have a few questions:
Is the above scenario true for upload speed as well as
Rick,
Yes, all of our packages are symmetrical speeds (same download and
upload). So if they buy our 512k package, they get 512k down x 512k up
all the time. They are not "dedicated" connections, but rather you get
what you pay for connections. We still oversubscribe users on an AP,
but only
Wow, with all that bandwidth, I'm surprised you dont offer higher speeds.
Technically speaking, the download upload price is the same. From a
cost standpoint, I allocate the download upload separately because I
am forced to pay dearly ($1200/month) to ATT for my dual T1's which
are required for
I guess that's my point... why offer more bandwidth than you have to?
Most people don't need more than 1meg, and that's our most popular
package for $39.95 per month (total, no modem rental fee, etc.). Why
give away the farm if you don't have to? :)

I agree but I didnt select the speed and price plans, I bought the
company with these already in place. BUT everyone is complaining that
3Mbps isnt enough and I'm not keeping up! All they see is cable DSL
commercials selling 10Mbps and 6Mbps respectively. Egads!!!

Interesting subject - quality of service. I give 10 times better

All of the complaints are easily overcome with the proper management software,

We don't use DHCP. Every single customer gets a real, static IP address.
We also a assign a static IP address to every radio (for management).

160 is an absolute upper max. Once they hit 128 we try to add an AP in that
area. But they do work will with 128.
Not sure what the settings are these days. I don't get into that detail
like I once did. Perhaps Bryan will answer.

I'm with Travis on this, with the exception of using StarOS instead of

Canopy is rolling out RADIUS for release 10. Can't get much more standard

We never get interference on Canopy. 5000+ units deployed. Hardly ever a
problem. Can the 802.11 folks make that claim?
We do have 3.65 but it is no panacea. I would rather have a canopy 430 or
even 400
