knows what broadband is used for. I know they market to the p1rates  .
And, while this service already offers customers the ability to download their favorite movies, music and games --

4 edits | InsightBB is expensive enough already.
I think I'll stick with their 10Mbps service for the time being. I already pay $38/mo. for what I have now, but to pay an additional $20/mo. to upgrade my broadband service to 20Mbps down/1.5Mbps up simply isn't worth the extra money. If this upgrade were being offered for an extra $10/mo., I'd probably consider it.
What really sucks, though, is that here in Bowling Green, KY, AT&T is the major telephone company. If I was able to get Verizon FiOS here in Bowling Green, which unfortunately I can't, I'd ditch Insight in a heartbeat.

$38/mo for 10Mbps is not bad...

said by Sith HMP :It just figures they would do this one month after they had Comcast take over our area. so, they shouldn't have done it at all? they sold off a huge portion of their customer base (read: overhead cost) and now they're offering upgrades to their existing customers.
i personally won't be taking advantage of it, but i'm quite sure others will. |

They offered me this last week when I was setting up some other Insight things. 20Meg d/s? Great! For another 20 bucks? pass. |

My parents live in a relatively affluent subdivision in the heart of Lexington and they cant get their supposed 10Mb connection to work better than 5.5...
I will stick with my 6Mb DSL, soon to be 12Mb ADSL2 from Windstream. |

Re: InsightBB is expensive enough already.
You must have a good market there... $38/mo for 3 MBps here is a good deal. |

| Good of them
At least they are not selling to everyone and then having a crappy network that's overloaded.
I remember when Road Runner opened up in North Carolina and only had a single DS3 feeding it. About 10 days after launch you could not get anywhere in the evenings. Took them a month to get a OC3 installed.

I think this company should be praised for only selling this tier to 4% of their userbase.... We all know how some ISPs oversell their top tiers and wind up slowing down the entire network for a region..
They could have just as easily sold the tier to 20% or more of their subscribers and wound up with horrible congestion... They put their subscribers first, money second in this case.

Re: Thank you Insight
No, I'm not saying that at all. I think it's great they did it. It just sucks for me because I will probably never see it here. I know, pity me. So as I said, it just figures they leave and then do it. I am a Insight fan and it was a real let down when they left our area. I never really had a problem with their service. When I did it was corrected very fast and their customer service in this area was superb. |

Re: Good Job!
i suspect the 4% thing is to see what demand they have for it, and use the extra 20.00/mo to finance upgrading so they can offer it to a wider audience of customers. |
