I don't see this being a problem at all, and WISPs should be able to play this
game as well. from 1999 to 2009, 802.11 went from 11 megabits to 150 megabits
at a minimum (okay, halve these numbers for real throughputs). Following that
trend, 2019 should have us with products at least 2 GB/s
Local phone company here just expanded their DSL coverage area and mailed
out fliers to everyone for $15 DSL. I see no mention of it being a
promotional price. One person said as long as you have it they will not
raise the rate from $15. Think its for 768k service. Anyways we are getting

Hi Kurt,
What we decided to do a few years ago was let the residential users
go, basically. We knew we couldn't compete with the telcos/cable co.
increasingly lower prices so our sales guys (I'm a tech) changed tactics
and just focused on businesses -- offering them multi-megabit upstream
We offer something the telco never will...
A local business with local, friendly support staff. All calls are answered
and handled locally.
We promote this heavily--and a lot of people are willing to pay more for it.

That's a great point and we've noticed that too -- in fact, some of our
phone techs will inform us that customers stuck with us or even switched
back to us after dealing with poor (phone) support from the bigger
companies. It's a good feeling, and it does still mean a lot to many
people out
Oh yeah--that helps too. We flat-rate everything.
$24.95/mo for your Internet includes your taxes, your fees, your equipment
rental.
$19.95/mo for your Phone includes taxes, fees, equipment rental, E911, and
everything else.
And we don't have contracts. We tell everyone, if you like us you'll

Better service (customer service especially).
Get a REAL bill from one of your customers. It won't be for $15. They'll
have taxes, usage fees, modem rental etc. tacked on there.
I've asked people that have switched from us to give us a copy of the bill
so we can

What would you do if another upstream provider came to you and offered you a
connection for more than half of the price? You have to lead, follow, or
get out of the way. If you sit on you $35/mo for 768k and do not offer a
faster tier or lower your prices you will lose subs.As much as
$15 DSL is typically, only half the story, the telco's make about
$50-$70 in phone line billing They are not selling $15 Naked DSL...
I believe the best counter to this is for the WISP, to strength's their
network and offer voice services
Nothing is a perfect solution, but also
Do what we did with VoIP. Get a copy of a competitors bill so you have
exact numbers, and then create a page on your homepage that shows those
exact numbers. Qwest DSL in our area adds about 20% for taxes,
surcharges, etc. but a lot of people don't know that.

I disagree with no contracts. Many times people get upset for reasons
outside of our control (viruses, antenna damage, water in broken cable).
If we didn't have a contract in place, they would just cancel.
Otherwise, we at least have a chance to talk to them and see if we can
fix it _before_

If you have NOT given them written authorization for them to do a 'draft'
check [or ACH] from your account, you can contact your bank and have them
return any unauthorized debits.

But if they just truly just don't like you and don't want your service, they
are penalized to get out of a contract.
We switch a LOT of people over from the local telco, who has been
contracting people as much as they can.
People HATE that company for that. And bad mouth them all over town for

I give them an option for a contract. Higher price without. Most
choose the contract so its their choice!

True... but we are also heavily discounting the installation (down to
free)... it's hard to make money if you do a free install, and then a
month later they get a DSL promo in the mail and switch. You have lost
about $200 on that one customer.
And _every_ cell phone company in the nation does
Cricket doesn't do contracts for sure. The other prepaid companies
typically don't either.

We use a contract as a way to offer the discounted installation. We also
offer a no contract installation that is priced accordingly, we are whole
when the install is complete.

Not terribly expensive.

We have done fiber to ethernet converters on FM towers. The telephone
option you spoke of earlier was most likely DC powered which would be much
more isolation.
We do 1 FM tower where 100 meg ethernet would not link. Had to have
power to power the ethernet to Fiber converter at top but
Thats the ticket :)
