Rick, what price are you offering 10 megs at? In our neck of the woods Towerstream is doing 8 meg at $800 per month.

Thats what I thought which is why I spent so much time and money on upgrading. I've got 30-50 megs at nearly every tower and I started offering 10Mbps posted rates. I even lowered the upgrade prices above 3Mbps. Very few care and even fewer take it. In fact, I have some that ask if we have a slower plan! I'm starting to be concerned that dial-up is good enough!

    For now.  I doubt that you will be able to sustain that 90% with
    1.5 or 3.0 indefinitely. I know we won't.

    +100%! I've upgraded my network to the point that I cant anymore
    but 90% of the customers are fine with 1.5 or 3Mbps!

    The other question is how much do you pay for the service? It all
    comes
    down to price.

    I can deliver 10Mbps x 10Mbps up to 300Mbps x 300Mbps to anyone that
    wants it... however, most people don't want to pay for it... ;)
