Consider yourself lucky...in the REAL rural areas we pay over $1000/mth for 6
meg connections.

I have two OC-3 connections (155Mbps) and one OC-12 connection (620Mbps)...
and even at those levels, I still average $50/meg as my hard cost. I am selling
10Mbps x 10Mbps dedicated connections to businesses and schools, etc. for
$500/month.

I too would love to know that formula. I doubt if it would work in rural
Tama County Iowa. Most businesses are agribusiness (i.e. farmers) and I
already have most of them in my footprint. My biggest obstacle right now is
finding cheap bandwidth. So even a statement that bandwidth is cheap right now
does not apply to me.

I wish I had $500/mth business customers to sign up everyday!

Been there, done ALL of that. Not worth the headaches. Bandwidth is
CHEAP now... time is still the most valuable thing in this business...
I can spend hours messing, tweaking, fighting, adjusting, etc. a cache
proxy, or in that same amount of time I can go install a business
connection for $500/month and pay for ANY additional bandwidth it may
save me. And I can do this every day. :)
