We've seen the same thing here. Providers are selective to what price they offer who. We've seen $1000 per 5mb hear also. Clearly not the same good deal as $50 for 50mbps. No matter what they "offer", I just don't see Comcast giving the $200 bi-diectional 50mbps service to businesses. If they have 5 pcs and no servers, maybe.
It also gives you an idea of the real cost Tom DeReggi RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Johnson To: WISPA General List Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:35 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Comcast will also be offering up to 50 Mbps CableOne in my area does NOT offer service to me.

Comcast and Charter are two that I know off the top of my head that do. Comcast installs fiber to your prem and is $1000 for 5 megs, up to a full GigE. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 10:15 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Comcast will also be offering up to 50 Mbps Oh boy are they digging themselves a big hole! All of the money is in the TV side of things and they are making it easier for people to watch TV via the web instead of via the cable co. On top of that they are talking about chewing up 4 TV channels PER CUSTOMER!!!! Wowsers. Not per custommer rather for the entire node. Currently one channel is shared among many. In future 4 will be shared among many. It's going to be amazing to watch where all of this is going to end up. This is actually great news for the smaller wisps out there. $200 50 meg connections. Very nice. I'd drop my $1000 10 meg connection for that! Or at the very least, buy a very high speed backup link. Me thinks it would be a very cold day in .... that they would give you more then a small handfull of IP's with that or let you do something like BGP.
