Kihei, HI | Speeds... Okay, so they may not have massive speeds to the internet yet but my gawd! ...will they allow full speed traffic within their network? I can think of a ton of things I'd love to do with such a setup... |

| Right, initially they will only have 45 MBPS, so what. They only have about 3000 total potential customers. The uptake will be slow as businesses exit existing contracts on T1s and make the switch.
Your DSL provider is likely overselling his bandwidth 100:1. At 45 mpbs, NKC could signup nearly 1/3rd of their potential market on the 5 mpbs package before needing to upgrade. And because there is already a gigabit ring in place, it's only a matter of upgrading the backbone bandwidth to achieve higher speeds. Nothing like this exists in this country, not FIOS, not DSL2, not project lightspeed, and not cable.

| Oh yes, I understand the over-sell/average-usage strategy... what I was wondering really is what speeds they will allow between customers inside the local service area.
IOW, if two neighbors both are connected to this gigabit ring, their connection to the outside internet will obviously be limited to whatever piece of the backbone they're allotted. However, will those two neighbors be able to connect to each other at gigabit speeds?
The implications of unfettered full gigabit local bandwidth are staggering for branch offices of businesses, local telecommuters, P2P'ers and gamers, and so much more. |

| True. And the implications for business to locate on the ring and provide services to other businesses on the ring at maximum bandwidth of 1 gig is staggering. However, based on all the data I have seen the prices and data rates will be as listed above, meaning your access to the ring will be limited to those speeds, but that is just my assumption.

Are there effective methods of restricting bandwidth at the router(s) that provide the outside connectivity, or are there any methods that would only restrict speeds to hosts not on their own network?
