That's pretty good pricing considering you charge $80/meg on a standard
account and he is getting $100/meg on a dedicated connection. I suppose
it is pretty economical if you get him to cover the equipment costs on
both ends and you are getting your BW at a reasonable price less than that.
I'll have to think about that as a solution for some of our heavier
users, they might just go for it ;)

Hi,
During business hours (7:00AM to 5:30PM) we throttle p2p traffic on
our entire backbone to 5meg up, 5meg down. Outside of those hours, we
let everyone run wide open with whatever speed they purchase.
In fact, we have a guy that purchased a dedicated point to point
2.5meg connection from us for his house for $250/month.... just for
his p2p stuff. :)

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.
