Hi,
We have DSL, Cable, licensed 2.5ghz wireless providers and several
other WISP's in our areas. We are the most expensive out of all of
them (512k = $39.95 per month). However, we offer a real, static IP
address for every customer. We offer a free firewall/wireless router
during the install, and we have local support. We also guarantee our
speed ("If you buy 512k, you get 512k all the time, 24 hours per
day"). We also offer the same upload and download speed ("If you buy
1meg, you get 1meg down AND 1meg up").
Travis, out of curiosity do you have many p2p users? If you do, do you
do anything discourage it or stick to the you pay for 512k you get 512k?
I honestly think in the long run as WISPs we need to find a way to
handle these types of users.

The other WISP in the area is selling 4meg down x 1meg up for $34.95
("best effort speeds").
Licensed, "take the indoor modem with you from work to home, etc."
provider is doing 3meg for $29.95
Cable is $29.95 for "up to 5 megs".
DSL is $29.95 for "up to 7 megs".
And, right now, we have more business than we can keep up with. We did
114 installs last month and could have done 140+ if we could find
installers to hire.
