is that something you’ve done and people pay for that? I need to do some market 
research for these customers. A lot of customers are “stuck” with me, might 
leave a bad taste when in town customers can get 30 meg for $50 or so a month. 
I have customers beating me for more speeds but I have a lot that think they 
are getting robbed at what they get now LOL

How about adding 5 Meg at $79, then 10 Meg at $109?

So, I am going to be twisting on the owners soon. I need to start offering 
different packages to our customers, getting tired of people wanting more 
speed. If they want more than everyone they need to pay for it. So, aside from 
special instances, the vast majority of our subs pay $45 per month for 
unlimited usage. No real statement on speed, but typically we set most to a 
stream of 1.6 meg or so, enough where they can run Netflix in basic definition 
with no buffering. We have some set to a little more depending on needs. If I 
can get by they usually get 512 up & down with some bursting, but those are far 
and few between with streaming media. 

I was thinking of setting all of those users to 1.5 or 2 meg for the $45 and 
jumping to a 5 meg package for $69 per month. I currently charge most 
businesses $69, they may not get much more speed just expedited service from us 
if they have issues. I was also thinking, if I can stretch it out, to 10 meg 
for $100 a month.

We are negotiating for more bandwidth from our upstream shortly, I believe our 
towers are capable of of meeting these needs for the most part. If not I am 
hoping the prospect of selling more will offset the additional upgrade costs

I figure if only 10 percent of the $45 customers upgraded to $69 it would 
generate an additional $50k a year.

Anyways I wanted to throw it out to you folks to see what they have experienced 
in doing similar situations. I am sure I will get some back lash from certain 
areas where a competitor might be able to do something better or cheaper or 
customers that want it all for nothing, the ones who think they are getting 
screwed anyways
